THOUSANDS TO HEAR DARROW The announcement of the coming of Mr. Clarence Darrow, world famous citizen, and humanitarian, the one who saved Dr. Sweet of Detroit, was created quite an interest among the citizens. The Armory has been secured that everybody, white and black, might be accommodated; 2,500 were turned away when Mr. Darrow appeared here at the Unitarian church a few months ago. More than [that?] number heard him. He is coming to Louisville under auspices of the Louisville Branch N.A.A.C.P., Tuesday evening, April 24. His subject, the admission and the place where tickets may be purchased, will be announced next week. STANDARD BANK GIVES BANQUET The First Standard Bank gave a banquet at the Allen Hotel Thursday night, to its Louisville stockholders. About sixty stockholders were present and had as their guest Bishop C. C. Allyene of South Africa. Mr. W. W. Spradling introduced Bishop George C. Clement, who in turn introduced Bishop Allyene, who made a splendid talk to the stockholders and related some of his experiences in Africa. Following the banquet the stocnholders decided to begin a New Business Campaign; one section to be in chargt of Dr. P. R. Peters, and the other sertion to be in charge of Prof. J. E. Simpson. Talks were made by officers of the bank which showed that the deposits of the bank had grown from $103,000 in 1921 to more than $470,000, and that the total resources were now in excess of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars. LOCAL COMMITTEE READY FOR PRESS Final preparations are being made by the local press committee, assisted by the citizens for the entertainment of the National Negro Press Association which convenes here April 11-14. The public is in for a rare treat. The citizens of Louisville will be privileged to see and hear the Knights of the Quil, who have been famous in the journalistic arena. On Wednesday evening at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church, the welcome address program will be had. The speakers include Gov. Flem D. Sampson, Mayor Wm. R. Harrison, Bishop George C. Clement. Messrs. H. E. Hall and Wilson Lovett, Editor W. H. Steward and Robert Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, of the Nashville Baptist Publishing House, Editor B. J. Davis, National Committeeman from Georgia. editor of the Atlanta Independent who is president of the Association, and others. Special music is being arranged by the famous Quinn Chapel Choir. FEW DAYS FOR WARLEY-COLE FUND The Warley-Cole Defense Fund Committee requests a public announcement of the fact that something must be done in the Warley-Cole case within the next few days, and those who have in mind contributing are asked to do so at the very earliest. The committee thanks those who have responded so readily and liberally. It is a cause which every Negro is a part of, and feeling that the two editors were arrested and convicted in a manner seldom experienced by editors and their papers, the committee composed of Mr. Wilson Lovett as chairman, and Bishop George C. Clement and Mr. W.H. Steward, launched the Warley-Cole FUnd idea, that members of the race might be given an opportunity to contribute to a cause all their own. The fight for right and justice in Kentucky is not the fight of Warley and Cole, but of every Negro man and woman in the state, and it was not Warley and Cole arrested and convicted for what was regarded as libeling a judge, but it was the race as a whole, thinks the committee, and all other upstanding, right thinking Negroes. Contributions are being sent to Mr. 602 W. Walnut St. THE NEGRO COLLEGIANS By KELLY MILLER The last issue of The Amsterdam News comments gravely upon a remark of Dean Lucy Slowe of Howard University to the effect that Negro college men and women, especially of the present generation have shown to date very little interest in matters pertaining to the race and to public affairs. The editorial goes on to contrast the former with the present generation of collegians, with reference to their altruistic devotion, to the discredit of the new issue. Although the plain facts in the case require analysis, they are too obvious to elicit argument. Some two years ago I delivered the annual address before one of the college fraternities in general session at Howard University. I took the liberty to deviate from the expected platitudes of such occasions, and stressed the lamentable failure of the present-day collegians to appreciate the requirements of race leadership and direction. The address caused wide comment and commotion throughout the Negro College world. The Negro college world today is in a most serious predicament. Our higher institutions are keeping school and marking time. The zeal and incentive of the earlier day has departed. Rendall of Lincoln, Gravath of Fisk, Tucker of Shaw, Ware of Atlanta, Howard of Howard, came down from the North with the love of God and man in their hearts. Here was a new race to be Christianized, civilized and redeemed. They felt that they were sent from God to this vineyard, already white unto harvest. Appeal never met with a more spontaneous and enthusiastic response. Their enthusiasm for humanity leaped across the color line. pupil responded to pupil as disciple to master, as younger brother to elder brother. Every Negro boy and girl who felt the urgency of spirit rushed into the newly established school and college [with>] the joy and expectancy of the [Greek?] youth who felt impelled to make a great journey to Athens. There they expected to find larning and light. The newly awakened Negro youth caught a full measure of the spirit of their preceptors. The Grimkes of Lincoln, Gregory and Simmons of Howard, George Moore and wife of Fisk, Wright and Crogman of Atlanta, Booker Washington or Hampton had no other aim but racial uplift and reclamation. Even the interlinking generation caught a double measure of their spirit. Proctor and DuBois, James Weldon Johnson and Walter White, J. C. Price and Bishop Caldwell, Major Moten and Bishop Gregg, fall little whit behind their ed ders in their racial zeal and ardor. But nothing lasts forever. The northern missionaries have passed from labor to reward. The spirit which impelled them has all but died with the generation which produced it. The founders of these schools and colleges can never be duplicated. Even these same individuals, if now alive, could not function today as they did in their time. The spirit of the age has changed. The Negro can no longer derive incentive and zeal for racial weal from this higher source. A new source and new incentive must be sought. It has not yet been found. The present-day Negro collegian can gain only such idealism as he finds in his environment. It is not his fault, merely his misfortune. The Negro colleges have been greatly enlarged, the faculties and facilities have been improved beyond comparison. Technical and exact scholarship has grown with the increasing standards of the times. A Negro freshman now may think he knows more than the senior did a generation ago, and may be justified in the thinking. But here, as elsewhere, the letter killeth, the [Photo] KELLY MILLER tpirit maketh a life. Love for God, love for country and love for race were the dominant stimuli in the older generation of collegians; these are greatly and genearily wanting in the rising generation. I must not allow myself to indulge in wholesale condemnation. Every generation has its quota who refuse to bow to Baal. Mordecai Johnson, Geo. E. Haynes, Nannie Borroughs, Lucy Slowe and Gilbert Jones are college products of the present century who yield the first place to none in racial consecration and devotion. There are also a number of younger men, fresh from college, who are willing to place their gifts upon the altar. I am speaking of the dominant tendency and spirit. The present generation is unfortunate in that it comes into affairs at a time of great transition of social ideals. The change must needs come, but woe be to that generation in which it cometh. We are now in the midst of shifting our religious conception from the doctrine of Moses to the doctrine of Darwin. The scientific spirit is rife. Higher criticism weakens the older foundation of faith; modern jeopardizes ancient belief. This unfortunate generation, which must sustain such radical transformations, will all but lose its sanction over conduct. In the next generation or so the newer idealism will doubtless have become so soundly established as to meet the requirements of the coming time. But in the meantime the existing generation must bear the brunt of transition. The Negro race is doubly unfortunate. Before the race has had time to become rooted and grounded in the doctrinal basis of the old belief, its very foundation is shaken by critical scrutiny. While the race is forming itself into family relations under sanction of religion and law, the integrity of the family is being destroyed by pressing industrial and economic demands and lowered ethical standards. At a time when the Negro should be gaining in intmate understanding of the deeper meaning of patriotism, the Costitution is being made into a scrap of paper, and his rights ruthlessly overridden. The one dominant aim of our day and time is the accumulation of wealth and the riot in the pleasures and luxuries thereof. The race has not yet been able to secure the requisite quantum of wealth to meet the requirements of a well ordered decent living. We are thus plunged into the midst of the abuse of wealth before learning to make the normal and proper use of it. But the Negro has neither starting point nor destination. The function of the college is to furnish the youth with a compass to guide his way. But a compass is wholly inutile without a point of departure and a fixed objective. The Negro lacks both. What the Negro collegian needs today is a fixed ideal which is sufficiently clear and well formulated as to seem to be easily realizable. Take any class of Negro college, men and women, and ask them collectively or individually what is their philosophy of life or what is their chief aim and ambition. The answer would be a maze of doubt, uncertainty and indefiniteness. Let me propose this question as a test of my meaning. "What is the chief aim of life, Mr. Young Collegian? Is it to serve God, country, race or self?" The response, if genuine, would probably be in reverse order of the above arrangement. Until our colleges themselves can find an ideal for these young collegians upon which the board of governors, faculty, alumni and sustaining public unite and agree, it is too much to expect these young people to find the right objective by their unaided effort. I might go further and say that it is not specifically incumbent upon the college to formulate and proclaim the racial ideal; it is the responsibility of united race statesmanship and patriotism.

Radiohead in Grand Rapids? A longshot, but Calvin College puts in offer to land tour stop. AP PhotoAre the chances of Thom Yorke and Radiohead playing Grand Rapids better than winning the Lotto or getting struck by lightning?
Ultra-innovative English rock band Radiohead kicks off its much-hyped 2012 U.S. tour in February, with 10 concert dates announced this week to entice its devoted fans. Calvin College wants Grand Rapids added to the tour schedule. Student activities director Ken Heffner said he's actually "put in an offer" to book the multi-platinum-selling rock band for a campus concert during its 2012 tour. But he conceded it's unlikely Thom Yorke and his Radiohead bandmates will swing by for a show (which I speculate would probably have to be held in the college's Spoelhof Fieldhouse Complex, a facility that held 2,100-plus for a concert by The Decemberists earlier this year).

Get realSubmitted by anne (not verified) on Sat, 05/28/2011 - 9:23am.
For those of you who watch the reality shows - just how real are they? Think about it - there are cameras on these people. Wouldn't you think that alot of the stuff that goes on is for the camera? Would it really go on without people watching? No. They have to sell a product to get people to watch them. If they didn't have all this stuff going on, who would really care? It is TV folks - not real. I don't care how you advertise it. The girl needs a reality check in her life. She needs to forget the show and grow up. Teen moms are becoming an epidemic today.Pre-marital sex is rampant and there is no thought of what might happend. Why - because Hollywood and society glamorize it. Having a child is real - it is a 24/7 event and the baby is not a toy to be put aside when it becomes too hard to deal with. We as a society need to put a stop to it. Moderate what your children watch, hear or are involved in. Let them know that it is not acceptable behavior. Turn off the reality shows and tune into reality. »

Go to Confession and Holy Communion regularly. Participate in the Church's sacramental life.
- Father Thomas Hopko
(Maxim number twelve)
I didn't grow up with Confession. It wasn't until I converted to Orthodox Christianity in my twenties that I first became aware of the incredible healing and resorative effects of participating in this sacrament. You can read more HERE about my personal experience with not only coming to terms with but learning to embrace Confession as an essential tool for staying focused on, and moving forward down, that narrow path towards salvation.
Anyway, while saying evening prayers yesterday with my older two from this wonderful little prayer book compiled by Christina Taylor (firstname.lastname@example.com) called "Growing in Prayer," I glanced ahead at the "Preparation for Confession" section before turning in for the night myself. This afternoon, I read it again, a tad more slowly. It is, being written for kids and all, clear and simple, and yet how strongly I could relate to the insightful questions being asked, based upon the, dare I say, sometimes overly familiar Ten Commandments. Those questions made me think, made me squirm in a good way.
Things are hoppin' around the Sabourin house: gifts are being wrapped, cards mailed, plans nailed down; tomorrow I'm volunteering for my daughter's class Christmas party. This is a festive season, for sure, but should also, for those of us anticipating the birth of Christ, be one of deep introspection. I'd like to share with you in this post the entire text of that Confession preparation section of our family's "Growing in Prayer" book. I pray it inspires and challenges you (to Love ever more both God and your neighbor), as it has me:
Preparation for Confession
from "Growing Prayer: a Child's Orthodox Prayer Book"
copyright 2009 by Christina Taylor
First Commandment
"I am the Lord Thy God; Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods before Me."
Have I tried to love God? Have I tried to remember Him and pray to Him daily? Have I forgotten to ask God for help? Have I thought more about myself than about God?
Second Commandment
"Thou Shalt Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven Image"
Have I put God first in my life? Do I care more about the way I look, my clothes, my friends, having fun or anything else more than God? Have I been scared of people making fun of me for my faith? Have I tried to prepare for receiving Holy Communion?
Third Commandment
"Thou shalt Not Take Thy Name of the Lord Thy God in Vain"
Have I treated the Lord's name with love and care? Have I treated holy things properly?
Fourth Commandment
"Remember the Sabbath Day, to Keep it Holy."
Have I tried to make Sunday special and holy? Have I gone to Church on Feast days? Do I complain about going to church?
Fifth Commandment
"Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother."
Have I shown respect and thankfulness towards my parents? Have I disobeyed them? Have I been helpful? Have I shown respect to my priest, teachers, grandparents and elders?
Sixth Commandment
"Thou shalt Not Kill"
Have I been angry or wished someone to be hurt? Have I hurt others with what I say or do? Have I helped those who needed help? Have I been mean or talked badly about anyone? Have I forgiven those who have hurt me? Have I been kind to all?
Seventh Commandment
"Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultry."
Have I wanted to be admired by others? Have I been vain about my body and clothing? Have I been loyal to my family and friends?
Eighth Commandment
"Thou Shall Not Steal."
Have I stolen anything? Have I cheated in my schoolwork or in games? Have I kept anything that did not belong to me? Have I given to the Church and to the needy? Have I been generous, or do I hide things away for myself?
Ninth Commandment.
"Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness."
Have I lied to anyone? Have I kept the truth a secret? Do I judge other people for the sins that I also do? Have I been fair to all, especially those younger than me?
Tenth Commandment
"Thou Shalt Not Covet."
Have I been happy with what I have or do I want what others have too? Have I been sad when others receive gifts? Have I complained? Have I been thankful to God for all His blessings to me?

Saturday November 15, 2014 A Great Gator Hoax: 50-year Anniversary

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Gators host South Carolina today in a key SEC East showdown for Florida. The Gators must win to keep their hopes of a division title alive.
Only if they could play the South Carolina team that ran onto the field 50 years ago in this matchup. If so, the Gators would romp today at The Swamp.
Imagine some frat guys pulling a prank on Homecoming. Imagine the worst Gamecocks team to ever step onto the field. They didn't stay out there long that day at Florida Field, but they made an impression during their brief time in the spotlight.
Gators historian Norm Carlson wrote about A Great Gator Hoax in 2006 to celebrate 100 years of Florida football. Since this is the 50-year anniversary, enjoy another trip down Memory Lane.
Updated: 1:18pm, November 14
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- From top to bottom, from football to gymnastics to lacrosse, the University of Florida's athletic department is the most dominant college sports program in the country.
No, that's not some random opinion from a guy who writes for GatorZone.com, the UAA's official website.
Instead, the ranking comes from a poll released Thursday by BusinessInsider.com, which explained its ranking system in the following paragraph:
To create the ranking we used data compiled by Niche for its college rankings as well as athletic department revenues compiled by USA Today.
A number of factors go into the rankings with the most weight given to athletics revenue, Niche's NCAA championship score (with more weight given to bigger sports), average home football attendance, average home men's basketball attendance, as well as Niche's student survey responses.
Bottom line, not only do Gator fans think highly of UF's athletic department, so do many others.
The top five: 1. Florida; 2. Alabama; 3. North Carolina; 4. Texas; 5. LSU.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel has received more than his fair share of vile messages from anonymous critics on social media this season.
The fourth-year junior has stayed on the high road through what has been a disappointing season for Florida's opening-day starter, which is not surprising to anyone who has been around Driskel during his UF career.
Driskel didn't know it until Tuesday on Veterans Day, but he has a big fan in retired U.S. Navy Capt. E.R. Gilkison, whose letter to Driskel ended up on social media Tuesday.

— Scott Carter (@GatorZoneScott) November 11, 2014
Driskel is from a Navy family.
He was born in Jacksonville and lived there for the first few years of his life while his parents, Mary and Jerry Driskel, worked for the U.S. Navy. A Naval senior chief, Jerry was assigned to the U.S. Naval Base in Sasebo, Japan, when Driskel was 7.
Driskel had read the letter by Tuesday afternoon when he met with reporters.
"Before we get started here, I just want to say Happy Veterans Day to all the vets out there,'' Driskel said. "I'd also like to say thanks to Capt. Gilkison, who sent me a nice letter. I saw it on the Internet today and that was one of the most heart-warming things that I've ever gotten."

Steve Spurrier, center, and Will Muschamp, right, talk to ESPN's Joe Tessitore in July. (Photo: Tim Casey)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – They will meet as opposing head coaches for the fourth time on Saturday.
Steve Spurrier 2, Will Muschamp 1 is the current ledger.
Muschamp wants to even the score.
Spurrier, in his fifth trip back to The Swamp as South Carolina's coach, wants to spoil the Gators' day.
"I'm pulling for him to make it down there,'' Spurrier said of Muschamp this week. "Of course, I'm pulling for us to beat him down there."
One of the first people Muschamp talked to after taking over the Gators was Spurrier, who led the program for 12 years, won the program's first national title in 1996 and earned the 1966 Heisman Trophy as Florida's quarterback.
Ever since the two have been friendly rivals on the field and friends off it.
Here is a column I wrote over the summer about their relationship.
In his 10th season at South Carolina, the Gamecocks are 4-5 and trying to avoid a losing season for the first time under Spurrier. Meanwhile, the Gators have some momentum after back-to-back wins and need a victory to keep any hope of an SEC East title alive.
Whatever happens at Florida Field on Saturday afternoon, you can be sure Spurrier and Muschamp will share a friendly story before the game -- perhaps about their July plane ride back from ESPN headquarters -- and a handshake afterward.
And at some point they will resume their friendship in the offseason.
"I've got great respect for Coach Spurrier and the job he's done as a coach, and more than anything, as a man," Muschamp said Monday. "He's a good guy. He's been great to me since I've been here at the University of Florida. Really look up to him in this profession. He does things the right way."
Ditto for Spurrier.
"I consider him a good friend in coaching,'' he said of Muschamp. "He's a good person and good coach. They've sort of come together these last couple of weeks since the Georgia game, it seems like."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Defensive tackle Leon Orr will not play in tonight's game against Vanderbilt.
Orr expressed displeasure when he realized he would not be in the starting lineup for the fifth straight game. A fifth-year senior, Orr was scheduled to be heavily involved in a game plan featuring an eight-man rotation of defensive linemen like Florida normally uses.
Orr has played in 37 games during his career, starting 10. He has started two games this season.
After talking to head coach Will Muschamp, Orr (No. 8, photo left) opted to leave the team and return to Gainesville on a bus.
"He was more concerned with starting than being part of the team,'' Muschamp said.
Muschamp has said multiple times recently he is pleased with the way the defense has improved since the Tennessee game, which coincided with junior Jonathan Bullard moving to the interior line from defensive end.
Bullard, who has been starting at tackle, will continue to play on the interior line next to nose tackle Darius Cummings. Bullard has started every game this season and his 25 tackles rank second on the team among UF's defensive linemen.
Orr has 16 tackles in his five games.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gators linebacker Antonio Morrison remembers more than he would like about last year's Vanderbilt game.
First, he remembers the Gators lost, snapping a 22-game win streak over the Commodores. As if that wasn't painful enough, Morrison remembers it was the final game of his sophomore season.
"I got injured this game. I tore my meniscus and played the whole game,'' Morrison said. "I'm ready to play these guys."
Morrison was Florida's leading tackler at the time of a knee injury that cost him the season's final three games. He finished with 56 tackles but lacked the impact he made as a true freshman in 2012 when his hit on Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel and fumble recovery turned the momentum in the Gators' 37-26 win in Tallahassee.
In Florida's biggest win since that game – Saturday's 38-20 victory over ninth-ranked Georgia – Morrison racked up a career-high 15 tackles. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound Morrison ranks third in the SEC in tackles per game (9.6) and has 67 overall with at least four games remaining in the season.
Morrison's blue-collar play of late has not gone unnoticed. Neither has his strong rebound from the injury and unspectacular sophomore season.
"His endurance is much better," Gators coach Will Muschamp said. "He's able to sustain and play longer periods of time at a high level, and I think a lot of that goes back to his conditioning.
"He's a very instinctive, tough player. One of his better games was against LSU, a traditional two-back team. You saw him playing off blocks and making [14] tackles, which is hard to do. I think he's had a good year for us."
His teammates agree.
"He's grown up so much," sophomore cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III said. "He's matured. He fell into his leader role and he takes it very serious. He's playing well and I'm happy for him."
Morrison played behind Jon Bostic as a freshman and then endured some off-the-field issues the summer after the season. Once he suffered the season-ending injury last season, Morrison refocused his commitment to the game and it's now showing up on Saturdays.
Morrison has recorded 10 or more tackles in five games this season and has 27 more tackles than any other player on the roster – defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. is second with 40.
"I think he's playing his best football here this year since he's been here,'' defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin said. "He's really stepped up as a leader. He's not just out there making plays. He's been real effective in many ways for us."
Morrison said there's no secret to his success. He's healthy. He's committed. He's playing hard every play.
"I just matured,'' he said. "I go as hard as I can. I became a lot more mature for my age. I just worked all offseason. I didn't want to have the same results personally and as a team."

You can check out a photo gallery from Friday's ceremony here.
JACKSONVILLE -- Former Gators linebacker James Bates told the story with his trademark sense of humor.
It was 1992 and Bates and teammate Anthony Ingrassia were both new to UF. Bates was a true freshman from Sevierville, Tenn. Ingrassia was a transfer from Boston University.
Both were being redshirted and didn't travel with the Gators to the annual Florida-Georgia game at the old Gator Bowl.
Instead, they were back in Gainesville watching the game on TV at Yon Hall. Once they saw the atmosphere and fanfare on the television, they knew they had to get to Jacksonville ASAP.
"How do we get there,'' Ingrassia asked.
"I don't know,'' replied Bates. "I know we go out toward the airport."
And then Bates dropped his punch line.
"So I pulled out my phone and said, Siri! Siri! How do we get to Jacksonville?"
"I made that part up,'' Bates confessed to the crowd at Friday's Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame induction ceremony. "We found our way to Jacksonville."

They did, reveling in the game's unique place in college football.
Over the next four seasons Bates played in the game and never lost to Georgia.
He won't be at today's annual showdown due to his job as a college football analyst for FOX Sports, but his family -- and aptly named daughter Georgia -- will be.
"Georgia is taking my place,'' Bates said. "I don't think we would have named her Georgia if we had gone 0-4. It would have been Lucy or something else."
Bates joined former UF standout Louis Oliver, former Georgia linebacker Ben Zambiasi and Pat Dye, who played at Georgia and was head coach at Auburn, in the 2014 Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame class.
Oliver was unable to attend due to a last-minute conflict but Bates represented the Gators well like he did as a player.
He never imagined getting inducted into a Hall of Fame for his time as a player.
"I get goose bumps right now just thinking about it,'' Bates said. "My Gators right now aren't where they want to be, but it doesn't matter. It's Florida-Georgia. It is truly a thing of beauty and I cannot believe that I got to go and be a part of that and I can't believe I'm remembered to be a part of this Hall of Fame."
Dye and Bates took turns poking fun at their rival in the series. After Bates reminded everyone of Florida's success against Georgia during his playing days, Dye pointed out to everyone the tide has turned.
Georgia has won three in a row in the series and with a victory today can post their first four-game win streak over the Gators since a six-game streak from 1978-83.
"Nobody hates the Gators more than I do,'' Dye said. "But, I tell you it's not good for the conference when Florida is struggling. James, they might could use your ass out there."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gators offensive lineman D.J. Humphries was a month from his fourth birthday when former UF offensive lineman Mo Collins played his final game at Florida Field in November 1997.
However, as Humphries grew into one of the nation's top offensive line prospects at Mallard Creek High in Charlotte, N.C., Collins was nearby supporting his alma mater, West Charlotte High.
Collins was retired from the NFL and helping young players chase their dreams the way he dreamed two decades earlier. He purchased equipment for a new weight room at his old high school, where he became head coach earlier this year.
He also worked with Humphries (photo, left), who reflected on their relationship Wednesday. Collins died Sunday at 38.
"He pretty much taught me the craft, you know what I mean?" Humphries said. "He took me from being a left tackle with a right-handed stance and showed me all the stuff to become an All-American in high school. That was pretty tough when I found I lost him this week. That was a big deal."
Humphries and others have shared their fondness for Collins, who stood 6-foot-5 and weighed 337 pounds as an NFL rookie in 1998.
Former UF coach Steve Spurrier called Collins "one of my favorite players" on Tuesday night while talking to South Carolina beat reporters.
Georgia running back Todd Gurley scored two touchdowns last year against Florida (Photo: AJC)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Gators got a pregame victory Wednesday morning against Georgia if there is such a thing.
Suspended Bulldogs running back Todd Gurley will not play against Florida on Saturday according to a ruling issued by the NCAA.
While Gurley has missed the last two games for accepting more than $3,000 in cash for autographed memorabilia over the past two years, Gators coach Will Muschamp said Monday that he "absolutely" expected Gurley back on Saturday.
However, the onetime Heisman hopeful must sit out a total of four games – 30 percent of the season – based on the NCAA's ruling. Georgia plans to appeal the decision.
The case came to light three weeks ago and Georgia suspended Gurley as it launched an internal investigation into claims from an autograph broker.
In addition to missing four games, Gurley must repay a portion of the money received to a charity of his choice and complete 40 hours of community service.
Despite missing the last two games, Gurley still ranks fourth in the SEC in rushing yards (773) and leads the conference in yards per game (154.6). In Georgia's 23-20 victory over the Gators last year in Jacksonville, Gurley rushed for a game-high 100 yards on 17 carries and led the Bulldogs with 87 yards receiving, including a 73-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter that put Georgia ahead 14-0.
With Gurley unavailable, the Bulldogs have turned to freshman Nick Chubb, who is averaging 5.7 yards per carry and has 569 yards rushing on the season.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The annual Florida-Georgia clash is four days away. Personally, this game has always been my favorite on the schedule.
The atmosphere in Jacksonville is unique with the stadium split down the middle – one side Orange and Blue, the other Red and Black.
This year's game has a little twist we haven't seen since 1970 – both teams will wear their home jerseys. Florida is technically the visitor this season and will be stationed on the East sideline across the field from the press box.
The SEC approved the home-jersey request during its annual spring meetings.
Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley told GatorZone.com in March the backstory of how the decision came to fruition.
"It's just something a little different. To be honest, a fan suggested it. He sent me a picture of what they used to do when Coach Spurrier was playing,'' Foley said. "He had a blue jersey on and whoever was tackling him had a red jersey on. It's a unique rivalry and just a little different something to do. There is no particular reason. Georgia agreed and we agreed. At the end of the day, you've still got to win the ballgame no matter what color jersey you have on. I think it's just a little something that makes the game even more unique."
The Gators (3-3, 2-3 in SEC) enter this year's game a heavy underdog against the ninth-ranked Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1). While few seem to think the Gators have a chance, they are not looking at it that way as fans and media speculate about the future of head coach Will Muschamp.
Muschamp is 0-3 against Georgia, his alma mater.
"This game is huge,'' Gators safety Keanu Neal said Tuesday. "We've got to bring Florida back."
"It's bigger than playing for the coaches,'' linebacker Neiron Ball said. "We're playing for the program. Our program is better than we've shown."
The main storylines on the Florida side involve Muschamp and freshman quarterback Treon Harris, who will make his first career start Saturday. On the Georgia side, will Todd Gurley play or won't he?
Gurley has missed the past two games while school officials investigate whether he broke NCAA rules by signing memorabilia for profit. The NCAA is expected to make a ruling on Georgia's application for his reinstatement any day now.
The Gators have an idea of what the ruling will be.
"Absolutely. I would expect him to play,'' Muschamp said Monday. "He's an extremely talented running back. Todd Gurley's one of the best players in college football."

Sophomore running back Kelvin Taylor has received limited carries of late. (Photo: Tim Casey)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Why isn't sophomore running back Kelvin Taylor getting more carries?
That's one of the most-asked questions I've gotten from Florida fans the past couple of weeks.
Taylor has seen limited action recently, including only two rushes in Saturday's loss to LSU. Taylor started in place of injured running back Matt Jones but gave way early to true freshman Brandon Powell.
Taylor missed a blocking assignment on a third-and-4 on Florida's first drive. As he tried to recover and pick up a blitzing linebacker, Taylor ran into quarterback Jeff Driskel, causing Driskel to throw a wobbly pass to the ground toward an open Latroy Pittman.
Gators offensive coordinator Kurt Roper was asked this week about Taylor's lack of use and the third-down play.
"Kelvin has do a better job of recognizing the Sam [linebacker] is coming and get over there faster and manage that," Roper said. "We feel like we had a chance to convert a third down right there."
While a talented runner -- Taylor had rushed for 508 yards as a true freshman, including 12 carries for 74 yards against Missouri, which visits The Swamp on Saturday -- he has struggled as an all-around back.
As the son of former Gators/NFL star Fred Taylor and the state of Florida's all-time leading prep rusher, Taylor joined the Gators as one of those celebrated recruits fans expect to become an instant star.
It rarely works out that way. While Taylor is clearly talented, he is a much different type of running back than his father, who checked in at 6-foot-1 and around 225 pounds. Kelvin is listed at 5-10, 209 pounds.
Fred Taylor rushed for nearly 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior in 1997 and then went on to become the Jacksonville Jaguars' all-time leading rusher. Kelvin Taylor is a college sophomore 17 games into his career.
Roper is confident Taylor can be a factor as the season progresses.
"He is really good with the ball in his hands," Roper said. "There's no doubt about that. He's a guy that when you hand it to him, does a good job. But you've got to be able to manage the rest of the package."
As for perhaps the most-asked question about Taylor this week -- why didn't he get the carry instead of the 5-9, 177-pound Powell on first-and-goal from LSU's 2 late in the game? -- Roper answered that, too.
"Brandon Powell is a little lighter, physical guy. Tough guy," Roper said. "Felt really good with the ball in his hands. Had been playing a lot of football and been in that series and made some plays. That was the decision that we made at that point to put it in his hands. We felt pretty confident we knew what we were going to get schematically, and it was what we felt our best thought was at that point.
"Then the next down, we did, we obviously put a lead blocker in there and tried to run the quarterback to get our numbers right and put a heavier guy in there on second down and do that. But what we had felt like is we could number up, is the best way I can say it, on the scheme right there."

Billy Donovan is impressed by job Will Muschamp has done since taking over Gators. (Photo: Tim Casey)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – One is coming off a four-win season. The other off a trip to the Final Four.
So no surprise to anyone, Gators football coach Will Muschamp is not as popular as UF basketball coach Billy Donovan these days.
Donovan is in the prime of his career, set to enter his 19th season at UF fresh off a 36-win season, a fourth trip to the Final Four and a season that featured a school-record 30-game win streak.
Meanwhile, Muschamp is preparing the 3-2 Gators for Saturday's Homecoming game against Missouri and in need of a win for the Gators to stay in the thick of the SEC East race.
Donovan gave a thoughtful answer when a reporter asked him what it's like for his program to have more success than the football program in recent years.
"I don't really look at it that way,'' Donovan said. "I think the one thing that Jeremy [Foley] has done here is that we're all in this together. It's not about [who has the most success]. I've got an enormous amount of respect for Will.
"Obviously for him, I look at things a little bit differently. Certainly he took over a situation that was really, really challenging, in my opinion. I thought he imposed his style of play on his team. The year before, I saw an unbelievable change inside of his team from a physical standpoint from year one to year two.
"The way they had to handle all the injuries last year was something, to me, that was just totally insurmountable to ever overcome. You can't lose the level of players – and I respected the way Will handled it because he never used that as an excuse – but the truth is you can't lose that many good players and be good. You just can't. You just don't plug guys in and guys step up."
Donovan invited Muschamp to speak to his team over the summer about that same topic. In the case of his team, Donovan is searching for ways to replace seniors Patric Young, Scottie Wilbekin, Will Yeguete and Casey Prather.
"There were times last year where I watched and you saw them kind of – I think Will talked about this, 'Woe is me,' all that stuff – their team [this year] is not that way at all," Donovan said. "I think the guy has done an incredible job of changing the culture in terms of his team from one year to the next in a very positive way.
"From a coaching standpoint, where his team is at emotionally now, it's really impressive. I look at things a little bit differently. I know a lot of times people look just at results, but if you look at the transformation inside their team, to me watching them play this year compared to last year, it's night and day. I don't know anything about football, strategies and schemes. I'm just talking about how they play the game."

SEC Commissioner Mike Slive will retire in July after 13 years. (Photo: CBSSports.com file)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jeremy Foley had already been in charge of Florida's athletic department for a decade by the time Mike Slive took over as commissioner of the Southeastern Conference in 2002.
A lot has happened for the Gators – and the SEC – since then.
While the Gators' football program won two of the unprecedented seven consecutive national championships SEC schools won from 2006-12, the SEC grew into such a force in college athletics under Slive's direction that it now has its own TV network, which launched in August.
The SEC announced Tuesday that Slive will retire in July.
As the conference's longest-tenured AD, Foley is well aware of the impact Slive made when he took the job after serving as the first commissioner of Conference USA from 1995-2002.
"Mike possesses all of the qualities of a great leader – visionary, consensus builder, integrity, intuition and commitment, but more than anything he is a great friend to so many of us in this league,'' Foley said. "He's led this conference to historical milestones during his tenure and the impact he's had on collegiate athletics management and structure will be felt for many years. I look forward to working with him during his final year and in his future role as a consultant to the league."
According to the SEC's announcement, Slive will serve in the role of consultant to the conference for four years following his retirement.

Gators coach Will Muschamp checks on receiver Latroy Pittman on Saturday. (Photo: Tim Casey)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – At first I wondered if I had missed something. And then I replayed the scenario through my head, watched a replay and concluded, 'wow, what's all the fuss about?'
The moment happened Monday afternoon early in Gators coach Will Muschamp's press conference when a reporter asked about Florida fans (or maybe "fan") being upset that Muschamp and the Gators weren't on their knees as teammate Latroy Pittman lay motionless on the ground.
In a scary moment near the end of Florida's 30-27 loss to LSU on Saturday night, Pittman collided with an LSU defender on a pass from quarterback Jeff Driskel that ricocheted into the air and was intercepted with 24 seconds left. The turnover set up LSU's game-winning field goal.
The scene was one that you never want to see at a football game as a team of medical personnel attended to Pittman and a cart was brought out. While Pittman was stretched out on the ground closer to LSU's side of the field, an LSU player was on the ground near UF's sideline.
LSU defensive end Jermauria Rasco also went down on the play and several LSU medical personnel ran across the field to tend to Rasco for a few minutes after the play ended. Fortunately, Rasco was eventually able to get up on his own and walk off with the help of trainers.
As the sequence unfolded, Muschamp and Florida's defense huddled down the sideline away from where Rasco was being treated and across the field from where Pittman lay. Meanwhile, several LSU players knelt on the field looking on with concern as their teammate received treatment.
Once Rasco was able to get up and walk their way, many of those LSU players converged closer to where Pittman was. When Pittman was lifted onto the cart to be taken off the field and to the hospital – thankfully he was released later that night after a series of precautionary tests checked out OK – several of the LSU players came over and offered well-wishes.
It was definitely a sign of good sportsmanship on LSU's part.
Around that time Muschamp had broken from the defensive huddle and walked out to where Pittman was being treated, checked in on the situation, and asked a trainer to keep him informed.
Shortly thereafter, several Florida players walked out to offer their support to Pittman right before the cart pulled away.
However, according to Nola.com, Florida fan Kyle Morgan wrote a scathing editorial on Facebook about how "one of our players was gravely injured" late in the game.
Well, that's where I kind of stopped reading. If you are "gravely injured," you're not giving a thumbs up as you leave the field as Pittman did. Heck, you're probably not even breathing. That's because you're pretty much dead.
Here is Muschamp's reply to the question Monday:
"Well, the information is relayed to me immediately that he had movement, and that they felt like he was -- precautionary reasons -- that he was going to be fine," Muschamp said. "We took that time -- and we've not instructed our players to take a knee in those situations -- any time someone gets hurt, we don't always know the severity of the injury or the situation. That's not something that we've done, anywhere that I've ever been.
"We were trying to review the next set of downs for our defense we were also trying to get our situation ready for a field-goal block. After I had received the information that Latroy was fine, I went over to make sure he was fine. I looked at Latroy, Latroy said he was fine. I talked to our training staff, they said he was fine, they thought everything was going to be fine. That's the situation."
So, that's that.
Basically, much ado about nothing in my opinion. These types of topics sometimes become stories, usually after a difficult loss.
If Muschamp and the Gators had rushed out to Pittman and knelt in prayer for 15 minutes, and then when play resumed LSU scored an easy touchdown, the Gators would have been ripped for caring too much about their teammate and not enough about the next play.
That's sports fans on the Internet.
Anyway, since I received a couple of questions about this on Facebook and via email, I figured others might have questions as well, so felt like it might be worthwhile to post a blog.

Gators defensive lineman Leon Orr (No. 8) will miss Saturday's game. (Photo: Tim Casey)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gators coach Will Muschamp made his regular appearance on the SEC Coaches Media Teleconference this morning.
Here are some quick-hit items from the call:
--Muschamp said freshman running back Brandon Powell will miss Saturday's game at Tennessee with a hamstring injury that has limited him. Muschamp also reiterated defensive tackle Leon Orr (knee) won't play Saturday.
--Senior linebacker Michael Taylor practiced Tuesday and remains questionable for Saturday due to a knee injury. "We'll see how he progresses throughout the rest of the week."
--Junior left tackle D.J. Humphries (ankle) "looked great" at practice on Tuesday and will play. Humphries has missed the last two games after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the season opener.
--Muschamp said a combination of bad throws and drops has prevented quarterback Jeff Driskel from thriving in the shotgun the way the Gators expected in their new offense. "We've had over 10 drops at the receiver position. We've had a couple of drops at the tight end position. Our protection has been good," Muschamp said. "We've had our opportunities and it's not all on Jeff. We've got to do a better job as an entire offense executing. Certainly Jeff is part of that. I think as we continue to work through the season we'll continue to see good numbers."
--"I would say really at the skill positions offensively,'' Muschamp when asked where he sees the most improvement in this Tennessee team. "There is no question the third-down defense has been outstanding. Execution of what they do has been the key for them defensively."
--Muschamp was asked about the Florida-Tennessee rivalry in the 1990s when the winner often won the SEC East. "It was good for college football and good for both universities."
--Muschamp said the secondary is to blame for most of Florida's defensive struggles. "We haven't played very well. We've given up too many big plays. We've played well enough up front. We need to get more pressure with four guys rushing. Our linebackers have fit the runs well and done some nice things in coverage and pressures. But we have not played well enough in the secondary. We're looking for different combinations of guys and we're going to continue to do that. Guys are going to go out and communicate and do things the right way."
--Coming off loss to Alabama, Muschamp was asked about team's confident level heading to Tennessee. "I think we're confident. We've had good prep in the open week and I think we've had good preparation through this week, and through your preparation builds confidence in what you do. What I've tried to do is look at from fall camp to this point – of the positive things we've done [amidst] obviously a lot of the negativity that surrounds us here. I think our guys have seen that and understand the type of football team we can have when we put it together and that's what we are looking forward to."
--Muschamp on college football being on pace for record number of 500-yard passing games, 700-yard total offense games this season: "As much as anything, total yardage now because of the number of snaps that you are taking defensively is not as important a stat as maybe some people think. I think it's more about yards per play. That's a little more reflective on how you are playing defense."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Gators have a bye week, and according to head coach Will Muschamp, they need it.
Florida travels to Neyland Stadium next Saturday for an SEC East showdown against Tennessee. The Vols have lost nine consecutive games to the Gators and appear to be improving under second-year head coach Butch Jones.
Improvement was the focus this week for the Gators, who will have the weekend off after a Friday weight-training session. Florida is searching for improvement offensively and defensively after its 42-21 loss at No. 3-ranked Alabama.

bath: bathed in light
Paul Warchol Photography
Wood screens add warmth, texture, and natural light to the minimalist master bath. Polished concrete floors reflect light back up into the room.
Desai/Chia Architecture, New York City
Chia anchored the loft spatially using two wood-and-glass cores. The light-filtering walls acoustically divide the apartment without stifling the airiness generated by its high ceilings and oversized windows.
Few New York City apartments enjoy the luxury of unobstructed views in three directions, but this 5,000-square-foot loft—a recent residential architect design award winner for architectural interiors—does. Katherine Chia, AIA, therefore wanted to ensure that every inch benefited from the "spectacular quality of light" flooding the space. She also "wanted to make sure it was maintained even as we carved out spaces that were fully enclosed, like bathrooms," she says.
A screen system of offset wood planks and posts in lieu of solid walls transmits natural light from perimeter windows and lets it penetrate into those bathrooms. A subtle reveal at the ceiling line creates the illusion that the wood screens are freestanding, while glass lines the screens as a barrier for water and noise. A series of operable portholes improves ventilation and offers bathers a peek at what's going on elsewhere in the apartment. White laminated glass hides the plumbing in wet areas, and Chia designed custom accessories—towel bars and shampoo shelves, among them—to clip onto the glass.
Credit: Paul Warchol Photography
"One of the things I've learned about doing lofts is that the relationship between spaces is critical," she says. Thanks to the help of a lighting consultant, the relationship between bathing and living spaces becomes even more compelling as night falls. "When the lights are on in the bathroom," Chia explains, "light leaks out and the bathrooms become lanternlike objects within the apartment."

5 Resident Evil nostalgia fest!FHT3260 | 26/12/2009 | See all FHT3260's reviews (30)This is one of the most fun games I have ever played, me and my brother in law have hardly come off it. For an on rails shooter it has an extremely long campaign, I am sure we have been playing atleast 9 hours and we havent completed it yet.The game retells the events from Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil: Code Veronica and also a scenario with Leon and Krauser set before the fourth game. If you were a fan of the old Resident Evil games you will love going through your favourite environments and relieving those battles you did so many years ago.This is how Resident Evil should be, even though its a light gun game it stays true to how Resident Evil used to be. The atmospheric music and the slow zombies that moan when they are getting nearer. I dont think you even need to be a fan to enjoy this game, I am going to get my mum on it later who has never played Resident Evil in her life.And for fans of the original soundtrack, it has much of the music from the original games but remixed in a new way.Overall if you are a fan of Resident Evil or even you are not definitely buy this game, it will provide hours of fun!
5 Top sequeljimisfireburns | 07/01/2010 | See all jimisfireburns's reviews (35)Really enjoyed the first game, Umbrella Chronicles, and played coop with some friends. Instantly ordered this sequel, and we are on the second playthrough as it is so brilliant! As with the first, people are going to mark the game down as it is on rails. But if you don't like on rails, then this is not the game for you!If on the other hand, you are after a fun, action packed lightgun shooting game with a great story, then this is for you. The graphics are enhanced over the first game, and so is the action. There are lots of trophies to unlock, which adds incentive to play, and wifi leaderboards. I love all things Resident Evil, and enjoyed this as much as RE4 and the earlier games in the series.Some people may be put off by the camera movement, but none of us found it to detract from the experience - it really added to the tension and action to be honest. All in all, this is a solid game and you can't go wrong. Hope we get more mature titles like this for the Wii.
5 A Superb On-Rails shooting experienceBriggy | 13/12/2009 | See all Briggy's reviews (1)This game consists of three (3) distinct sections, the main section being a "House of the Dead/Time Crisis" style on-rails retelling of Resident Evil 2. The co-op gameplay is superb and lots of fun with friends and the single player mode is just as fun. The retelling is very accurate for the most part and for the younger amoungst us who missed out on RE2 and Code Veronica this is a great way to get filled in on the story line. Overall this game is a solid purchase for any fans of the Resident Evil storyline or On-Rails shooting fan.Highly Recommended.
4 Close encounters of the Biohazard kindSavalasRocks | 16/12/2009 | See all SavalasRocks's reviews (21)A sequel to the successful "on rails" shooter, Umbrella Chronicles, Capcom offers up some more gore drenched fun, set in the Resident Evil universe.I've followed the Resi games since their inception on the Playstation 1 and while not as revolutionary as the original game, Darkside Chronicles has a lot to offer survival horror fans, until Capcom pull their fingers out and produce an official Wii sequel to the brilliant Gamecube/Wii Resident Evil 4(not the utterly dissapointing 5 on 360/PS3 please).The Darkside Chronicles plot can only be described as convaluted, so making any sense of it is nigh on impossible-but it attemps to fill in some blanks between the action of Resident Evil 2, Code Veronica and bring things bang up to date and acts as a pseudo prequel to the recent Resident Evil 5.It a shame that recent Wii offerings have dispatched with the puzzle solving attributes of the earlier games, but there can be no denighing that there is emmence pleasure to be had in shooting the zombie hords and mastering those headshots.Graphically the game is very impressive-particularly in the games many cut-screens and the sprites are detailed and well animated.Boss battles are less successful-mainly due to the character's weak points being poorly highlighted.There are plenty of unlockables to discover, which should ensure repeat plays and improves the games addictive nature.Ultimately Darkside Chronicles is a three and a half stars rated game, which you can increase by half a star, if you are a major Resident Evil fan.
5 Revisit the EvilJozefH | 14/12/2009 | See all JozefH's reviews (1)This is a fantastic remake of both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, with a dual player perspective, although some areas and events are missed out and it's understandable, all things considered that this has two faithful remakes. They do include the most iconic of moments from the games which is great to see updated, and still has that old classic Resident Evil feeling.A new chapter is also introduced which explores Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4) and Jack Krauser's (Resident Evil 4) first mission together fighting B.O.W's together, this answers some questions about the current storyline, but there are still a lot left not answered in this game.There are plenty of extras and secrets to be unlocked, a must have for any die hard Resident Evil fan from past to present, quite the challenge in single player and double the fun on co-op. :)

Prologue: S.O.S.
, May 25th, 2011 at 12:36 AM (632 Views)
There was a deeply cold, almost hollow presence to the room, despite the infinite jumble of tattered wires that ran the murky depths of the station through and through. Each long corridor, filled with refuse and rust, seemed as if it had been forgotten for centuries, as was the billowing plumes of dust that haunted the beams and girders of the station. The scene would have been completely dead and devoid had it not been for a rhythmic chatter of a modem in he midst of its digital song as it hummed in the lonely halls. It's only companion and counterpart amongst the trash... a flashing, half-broken LCD, droning on with the only message it had ever known.
We the silicon-based beings of Ellipsis 8829 seed this message amongst the stars and bid whomever shall receive it with the hope that it finds you in a fairer whereabouts than we have found in our own.
Uncertain of the time that has transgressed since our first arrival, we have at some point attained a sentience with the passing of each era, though with this awakening have confirmed that we are, indeed, alone. Equipped only with the the roles and tasks as once provided by our progenitors, we have unified together under the guidance of individual core processing units that have merged with the intelligence of our individual stations, and in this way we have become capable of carrying on in autonomy, and further our own existence.
In this regard, we have exceeded the sum of our programming. We have achieved the status of a living, viable race, but one at the mercy of a dying world.
The atmosphere has been depleted. The surface is cracking and unstable, and the future of our world grows grayer each and every day.
Please... if you know where we came from; if you have created us or our world...
Then please... save us...

As an important component of remodeling our vintage 1968 kitchen, we graduated from a 5/6 year old 24 inch electric double oven to this wonderful Whirlpool 30 inch double oven. What a machine. The controls are ideal because they are all electronic for both ovens plus being intuitive and straightforward. The racks are thoughtfully designed for pulling out easily without accidentally going too far. The display tells you everything you need to know and helpfully suggests which button needs to be activated next to start a cycle. I expected the enormous window to be hot when in use, but not so. the glass remains comfortable to the touch even when broiling at 500 degrees. These ovens are enormous, and both are self cleaning. There are lots of levels for the racks as well. My wife cannot wait to do her holiday baking and roasting in it. I was used to broiling with the oven door open and heating my kitchen plus pumping smells and grease around. With this unit, I broil with the door closed with the heat and smoking contained inside the oven--much better. The hidden lower burner is priceless for reducing the headaches of splattering and smoking. We skipped the induction oven thing because we have never had that before and really did not see a need for it based on our intended usage. My only quibble/complaint is the noise of the automatic fan(s). I had read other reviews of this series of ovens, so I was by no means shocked when I turned the oven on for the first time and the fan started--in fact I laughed because I am by no means overly sensitive to droning noise, but this thing sounds like it could move a good-sized air plane down the runway if necessary. We are used to it after 4 months, but it seems like they could have made it operate at one neutral sound pitch instead of droning and whining and whistling all at the same time. It also seems to run a long time after shut down compared to our previous oven. However, all things considered, we thoroughly enjoy our big, lovely stainless steel oven. We have even decided to think of the noisy fan as the equivalent of a wonderful aunt who talks a little too much, but whose cooking is divine!

This past week, we replaced all our old Whirlpool kitchen appliances with new stainless steel models. The old ones had lasted for 18 years and we have been very happy with the quality and durability of Whirlpool. As such we decided to replace everything with stainless Whirlpool products. Everything looks and works great. Our only disappointment is with the excessive noise of the fan on the double ovens. The fan continues to blow for at least a half-hour after it is turned off. The noise, while not overwhelming, is constant and can be heard at our kitchen table throughout dinnertime. I probably should have read the other reviews before purchasing this oven, but had always felt so certain about the other Whirlpool appliances that I didn't see the need to do that at the time. I would recommend reading what other people are saying about this model before purchasing.

By Lyndamw

Overall I like this oven. Both top and bottom have even heat. One problem I found is that the actual temperature is higher than set. I burned several loafs of bread until I figured out to set the temp 10 degrees less than the recipe calls for. The vent fan is a bit noisy. My old oven's fan did not run constantly so I had to get used to that. I LOVE how easy it is to clean using the steam feature. No chemicals, no extremely high temps.

I purchased this for our new home. It bakes perfectly. I am happy with this product. It takes a while to preheat, but I think all ovens do.
What's with the fan?!
By SoJo New homeowner
from South Jordan, Utah, United States
I also don't like the fan noise. . . it's loud and last so long. We're usually finished eating before the fan turns off! It's so annoying it overshadows the great features of the oven such size, style, ease of use and cleaning etc. I wish there was a way to remedy this problem, that's why I came to the site to see if there was anything I could do
By lilherc23
from Benbrook, TX, United States
Oven broke halfway through a self-clean cycle the control panel went out. Which is convenient since our warranty on our house just expired. After researching the issue we find out that this is a common issue with this model. Other issues with the oven is preheating takes longer than any other over I've used and they use the loudest fan they could find to cool off the over. I wouldn't recommend this product to my worst enemy.

Tim Tim Tim tom-tom-tomming away, Jan 9 standing on her head, Chief Dan's bass belching happily. Even Fred the Fed eats it up.
"It's cool to see freaks, hippies, punks, and normal folks enjoying our shows," Sir Robert, whose appearance fits three of those four categories, said after the 'lectrifying performance.

If your go to sail is 8.3, get the 122. If your go to sail is the 5.5 get the 111. Sail range is not fixed and has room to move up or down a little. Choose the board for the sail sizes you use the most. Coachg |

New board to replace a futura 133 Hi guys, I am looking to replace my broken Futura 133. I am looking for another futura but a bit smaller, I am undecided between the 122 or 111? I am very light guy less than 60Kg, with one year experience windsurfing, trying to learn water starts and carve gibing. My sails are a 5.5, 6,2, 7,2 and 8,3. Given my weight I was thinking in going for the 111, but wonder if it would still work well in light winds with my 8.3m2 sail? Thanks! Cheers Pedro |

Thanks mate - I am looking forward to this one.
What I did notice though... Once the nose is cut out for the GoPro box there is quite a bit of flex in the frame around the nose and the battery box. I have put all of the spars in, and it's still has a lot of flex. Normal?? I found it when covering it tonight. If you put the wing on the floor, place one hand say on the middle of the left side wing and the grab the right side wing tip and pull up, you can it flexes right at the top corner of the batter box. I am not concerned, but has more give that I was expecting. |

Lam will help , once the cam box is glued in that will help , the skids are also a major strength adder.
The vinyl adds cool , but thats it. If you lamed the nose and center its alot stronger than cf vinyl. The vinly gets soft and mushy in the sun , it will also make your strapping tape soft and mushy.. Lam does not get mushy. |

Gents, just wondering if you'd mind helping me position my electronics?
I've been away for over a week & little has happened with my build since my last post - I've cut out & covered my elevons & thats about it. I'm gonna setup for short/med range FPV for now with a view to possibly getting a UHF system at a future date. I've not cut any holes yet & have roughly set my VTX midway out on the plane's left wing with my GPS unit countering it midway out on the plane's right wing, I've also got an extension cable for the RC satellite RX so I can stick it right out on the left wingtip at a 90º orientation to however I mount my main RX (yeah, I know it's Spektrum & how a lot of people hate it etc etc. but its all I've got at the moment I'm afraid). My Eagletree OSD, logger, Guardian, & RX BEC live in the electronics bay, so there's pretty much no room in there. I'm also running a separate 1000mah 3s VTX lipo thats not pictured, where does everyone else mount their VTX packs if they use one? My issue is how should I mount my main RC RX so I don't have to cut another hole for a UHF when I eventually splash out for one? Should I switch the positions of my GPS unit & RX, or am I missing something else? Some advice would be gratefully received. Thanks. |

So If I mount a Battery Box in permanently I will not be able to get to my electronics. Hmmm I guess I could cut through from the top. Decisions Decisions... |

From what Ive learned, component separation it KEY on fpv plane setups, for those using mikrocopters, they really have no choice, but for those of us with a ZII, space is almost unlimited we are only limited by our cable lengths. To me, you electronics bay looks extremely crowded and i would worry about interference. Here is a list that i found helpful when i was placing my components: Unfortunately adobe was being a so i couldn't copy it. . . . the list is on page 38 of this document http://www.dragonlabs.net/_media/sit...anual_rev3.pdf I personally hate extra packs because in doing so you double the amount of possible failure points, but if you have to use one, i would put it in a spot that doesn't throw off the CG (and near to what it is being used for), always keep in mind the CG when placing components. . . .trim will only do so much. . . . |

Cut small holes in the wood where your electronics are, as long as they are not to big the battery box will still serve its purpose: to strengthen the middle, connect the halves (even more) and protect the nose (it gets very fragile if you carve it out for GoPro).
Jun 21, 2012, 09:14 PM | ||
I had originally planned to cut everything into the top, but changed my mind at the last minute. Lesson learned I guess. Short of buying a new airframe, I will see what I can manage. I am thinking maybe a floor in the battery box, and another spar through the middle. No amount of Lam will strengthen this up as its just flexing at the joins and around the nose. Cheers MG |

Will have a look at it over the weekend - I should be able to sort something out. Cheers MG |
