Who would have thought she smoked?
Posted by dexter on April 3, 2012, 11:34:56, in reply to "Re: Scene From A Club (early 90's)"
OMG listen to me. 1992 I took a girl to the "cheese cake factory" in -----.
My girl was neither good looking nor unattractive. Just mildly overweight like most people. She enjoyed smoking a few cigs a day but I never paid attention because she just wasnt hot.
So we site down to our meal and in comes this group at the next table. Behind my girls sits some kind of blond fashion model in bedecked in diamonds... a real killer.
The dangerous blond immediately lights up a cigarette and proceeds to hold it up right, high in the air for everyone to marvel at all the diamonds on her impossibly elegant fingers with blood red polished nails.
Cheerful cone exhales blasted at the ceiling all night, in between a lot of smiles and laughs.
I hide to hide my interest in all of this from my girlfriend

Chad's malnourished children offer stark illustration of Sahel food crisis
"The NGO Action Against Hunger says that, in March alone, it had 68 new admissions to its therapeutic feeding centre in Mao, a dramatic increase compared with February, when they had 27. Therapeutic feeding centres cater for those children worst affected by severe malnutrition, youngsters too sick to eat fortified nut pastes such as Plumpy'nut or Plumpy'doz. Once in the centre, the children receive fortified milk and round-the-clock medical care. In an average year, admissions peak in July and August, just as the rains arrive but before the next harvest has matured. According to Action Against Hunger, the peak has begun already."

Making Castlevania's Soma Cruz in D&D
I've always had a soft spot for "I defeat you and gain your power" type characters. From the aforementioned Soma Cruz of Castlevania's Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow to Kirby, to
, that kind of character who purposefully hunts down strong opponents to become ever stronger themselves is just so cool. Is there any kind of structure in place that allows a character in D&D to do that?SpoilerSpoilers for Supernatural Season 9SpoilerThat chef guy who ate animal organs and gained animal powers, not to mentionSpoilerSERIOUS SPOILERS FOR THE MOST RECENT EPISODESpoilerCas who just cut open an angel's throat and ate that angel's grace
I'm thinking PrCs mainly, but I'm open to other suggestions. Both Necrocarnate and Soul Eater fit very thematically and involve strengthening themselves by killing, but the benefits are too generic and too temporary. They don't have much to do with the actual power of the defeated enemy, and they need refueling. I guess I'm after a more generic and far less broken version of Illithid Savant, because that "brain eating, ability harnessing" thing is just what I'm after.

Re: Making Castlevania's Soma Cruz in D&D
Greater Doppelganger and Neh-Thalggu can do similar.
The first ate brains to copy not just the form of someone, but its memories and abilities.
The second swallow brains by teleporting them (!!!) directly into its "stomachs" and then gains Sorcerer spellcasting levels for that (can eat up to 13 brains).
Probably there's more than that, but it's what i remember right now.

HOUSTON - A spokesperson for Bass Pro Outdoor World denied allegations in a federal lawsuit that the company has engaged in racial descrimination in their hiring practices since as early as 2005.
The Equal Opportunity Commission filed the suit in U. S. District Court in Houston, claiming qualified African-Americans and Hispanics were routinely denied positions at Bass Pro stores. They also claimed managers at the stores in Louisiana, Houston and other locations made racist comments acknowledging the practice.
Mike Rowland, Vice President-Human Resources for Bass Pro, said in a press release that they're taking the accusations very seriously.
"The EEOC's allegations are contrary to our profound respect for and commitment to our team of experienced and knowledgeable associates, and we are determined to prove them wrong," he said.
The suit also claims Bass Pro destroyed documents connected to the applicants, and retaliated against those that spoke up against the practice. Rowland said they provided more than 250,000 documents to the EEOC and that the commission made "unrealistic" demands to the company.
Bass Pro is based in Springfield, Mo.

AMBIEN: The new "Twinkie Defense"
Remember the case in which the accused perpetrator blamed injestion of Twinkies as the reason for the crime in question? "The TWINKIES made me do it!!!!"
There was general outrage as the urban myth of the Twinkie defense began to spread. Urban myth? You betcha. Here's the real story according to Wikipedia and Snopes.com.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief that sugar and preservatives are not a clever trial lawyer's method of getting his client out of hot legal water. But other similarly bizarre excuses are starting to pop up for those who externalize their behavior that rival "The devil made me do it."
The "Ambien defense" is starting to rear its ugly head, thanks, in part, to Rep. Patrick Kennedy's nighttime excursion around Capitol Police barricades in Washington, DC. True to form, the Kennedy's dodged potential legal ramifications for their actions with clever lawyers and the novel notion that "the Ambien made him do it" as an excuse for getting behind the wheel of a 2,000 lb automobile and nearly mowing down a Capitol Police officer.
When used improperly -- as in, with other drugs or alcoholic beverages -- Ambien, as with any pill taken for sleep disorders, could have adverse affects. Hence the labels pasted all over every prescription bottle and warnings from doctors about taking Ambien or any sleeping pill at home and without interference from alcohol or other drugs. Pretty simple stuff, really.
It doesn't stop at the Patrick Kennedy joy-ride, however.
Here's a story about a hideous accident in which a mother loses a limb -- a LIMB -- because this cretin decides to take not one Ambien like a normal human being...but FIVE Ambien. Did he have a prescription? No.
Who takes five sleeping pills of ANY kind unless he has a death wish to begin with?
It is nothing but reckless and abominably stupid to begin with.
To blame the Ambien, though, would be the wrong course of action. Luckily, the court did the right thing here. But just for future reference, an Ambien defense would be akin to suing gun manufacturers because of a fatality caused by a dolt who pulls the trigger.
No one forced this clown to obtain a presciption medicine without a prescription. And no one blew five times the dosage down his throat with a straw. He did it on his own and therefore the reckless, stupid, damn near unforgivable tragedy that followed from his actions are all on him, not the Ambien.
As a mother, I see toddlers in my own household struggle to own up to their actions. Taking responsibility for one's actions is a tough lesson for a toddler to learn and a mother to teach, but more mothers should be worried about that than self-esteem, in my estimation. Kids today seem to be overflowing with self-esteem, but not a heck of a lot of humility, self-control or the ability to take responsiblity for their actions.
No doubt the Ambien defense is a clever trial lawyer's way of earning his exhorbiant hourly fee. But courts across the land should reject this legal course of action as they have the frivilous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and instead, opt for the personal responsibility lesson instead.
Let's hope the Ambien defense goes the way of the Twinkie defense -- a bad idea that was mistakenly tried one time and is nothing more than a legal urban legend. It is a shame that for that mother, now maimed for life because of another's thoughtless, careless actions, that the ramifications will be a daily reality....not an urban legend.

With the Steelers, in his backup role, all Batch has done is play well when called upon...
I can't understand the JJ thing at all.
I can...
If you want to keep a UDFA QB who hasn't played football in a year over a proven vet who has performed well, that UDFA QB needs to clearly dominate his competition and outplay the veteran ahead of him...
While Johnson played well, I wouldn't say that he definitively did either of those things...
I predict that when Weslye Saunders' suspension is up after 4 games, he takes David Paulson's spot on the 53 man roster, and then Paulson is moved to the P.S., taking Jamie McCoy's spot.
Also, when DeCastro is put on "reversable I.R." (or whatever we are calling it) on Tuesday, the team will be bringing back Trai Essex once again, as has been widely reported. When DeCastro is able to come back later in the year, he will likely take Kelvin Beachum's spot on the 53 man roster, and then Beachum will be moved the P.S., taking John Malecki's spot.
Trade #22 (780 points) to JAX for #36 + #67 (795 points)

5.24 FS Kurtis Drummond, Michigan State 6'1" 205 lbs.
6.23 CB Cam Thomas, Western Kentucky 6'0" 195 lbs.
7.22 RB Malcolm Brown, Texas 6'0" 223 lbs.
I'm slightly disappointed that we didn't re-sign DE Corbin Bryant to the PS, I thought he had really good long-term potential as a 3-4 DE.
I also want to know why the hell Beachum was selected ahead of Lee. Beachum is not even PS worthy.
Can Sean Kugler recognize and develop talent on O-Line??? Seriously what was Sean Kugler thinking while making that decision?? Maybe Beachum knows something personal about Kugler.
Steelers Draft
Rd 1: Mad Maxx Williams - TE
Rd 2: Owa Odighizuwa - OLB
Rd 3: Steven Nelson - CB
Rd 4: Jaquiski Tartt - S
Rd 5: Henry Anderson - DE
Rd 6: Lorenzo Doss - CB
Rd 7: James Vaughters -OLB
Very happy with Lee & Victorian on the PS...& Gilreath too. Disappointed that no developmental DL's or RB's are on it but could care less about JJ or 3rd QB's in general - our future starting QB hasn't entered college yet & our next back-up is probably playing
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

As someone said each breastfeeding experience is different. I would suggest to boost your supply (if that is a problem this time) to eat lots and lots of green leafy veggies. Try to avoid certain foods such as cabbage as it sometimes can dry your supply up. Also oatmeal, mother's milk tea, and cookies with flax seed are great ways to boost your supply. Hope this helps! :)
What your going through sounds completely normal. If you are concerned though with your supply going down I would suggest making lactation cookies and drinking mother's milk tea. Both should help great increase milk supply. She may have an allergy to something your eating too. Such as dairy. I would suggest trying to cut out something in your diet and see if that helps.

The Grammy Awards only added a best dance recording/dance field in 2003, now to go along with that at this year's Grammys there will be a dance segment, and Chris Brown and Lil Wayne have been confirmed to perform during it.
Grammy show producer Ken Ehrlich says, "we decided to go all out this year. All we're going to try and do next week is to try and put the home audience in the middle of it. ... It is more than just sitting there and watching it."
What this means is that Lil Wayne, Chris Brown along with Deadmau5, The Foofighters and David Guetta will all be performing amongst 1,000 fans in a tent space.
"I don't know that I figured out a way to do it that felt right until now," Ehrlich said in an interview Monday. "My feeling about dance is it's such an immersive experience for the participant, that to put it on stage ... where the audience is not a part of it ... I don't know, honestly, until we came up with the idea of doing it this way, I don't know if it ever would have worked."
The Grammys take place this Sunday.

Brazil star Neymar has revealed that he turned down a move to Chelsea in 2010, despite a "huge transfer bid" from the then Premier League champions, and says it was the right decision.
Neymar, now 22, eventually opted for a switch to Barcelona last summer after 10 years on the books of Santos and he has lit up the World Cup on home soil, hitting four goals in Brazil's opening three games.
Chelsea were reported to be chasing the forward for some time prior to his Nou Camp switch, but in his autobiography 'Neymar: My story - Conversations With My Father', he recounts the moment which prompted him to stay in Brazil.
"It was August 23, 2010. My father and I had a meeting with president Luis Alvaro at the Santos headquarters inside the Vila Belmiro. Chelsea had made a huge transfer bid," he wrote.
"In the middle of our conversation, the president turned off the lights and pointed at an empty chair. 'This is the chair of the great national sports hero.
"Since Ayrton Senna's death, this chair is vacant. If Neymar Jr stays in Santos and refuses Chelsea's proposal, he will give his first step to sit in this chair.'
"That made us think. That decision would be a turning point in my life. Even Pele called me. Can you imagine how important I felt? The King of Football called me and asked me to stay.
"He reminded me of his entire career with Santos, his five world titles with the national team and the club, and all the recognition he received.
"It wasn't easy but it was the right decision for us. We did the right thing for our friends and my career."

So, I got the ICS update yesterday and I was in love with my phone again, but when I turned it on after charging it was stuck in the boot animation. Looked up the problem, most people had it fixed by using the Recovery mode. Did that, phone got stuck in "Updating Android Appliations" or something like that, and now it gets stuck right after the Moto "M" comes up, and I can't get past the Droid text. I'm not quite sure what to do now. :icon_eek:
You're not the only one with this problem. Turned my phone off, tried to turn it on and it was stuck at the "Droid" screen. I popped my battery out, took out the SD card and SIM, replaced them and tried to power on once more. Still stuck. Did a reboot, same thing happened. Did a frickin' factory reset and it started downloading ICS, but now it is stuck at "Android is upgrading...starting applications". It's been like that for over an hour. I'm so frustrated with this phone, I don't know how something so basic as powering a phone off would result in this.
I used RSD lite and tried to flash the update. Seemed successful, but its stll stuck on the Droid screen. I'm haven't a clue what to do, and I can't get a replacement as my phone got wet back in August.
Use the HOB method to fix. SamuriHL's House Of Bionic - DroidRzr.com read post #1949 here if you get the black screen of death after using HOB. SamuriHL's House Of Bionic - DroidRzr.com - Page 98
It's not a long process at all, 10 minutes maybe. battery have good charge? phone should read "battery ok". low battery not good for flashing.
I used HoB and it went to the end (I think) when it says the radio is installing and the phone will reboot.The phone didn't reboot, and I only have the AP Fastboo flash mode boot failure now. Edit: Yes, Ok battery
okay, got the Boot animation to work, but still stuck there. Followed all directions. I'll re-read and try again (that won't make it worse, right?)
I'm sure you know, after an update like ICS it's gonna take like 10 mins to finish... just in case you didn't know..
was it stuck at "black screen of death" at boot up? if so, here is the fix Post #1949 SamuriHL's House Of Bionic - DroidRzr.com - Page 98
No, I'm here: SamuriHL's House of Bionic 9.2 FLASH MODE: RSD Ready to flash FXZ... WARNING: RSD may appear and disappear several times during flashing. DO NOT PANIC. This is normal. NOTE: Your phone must be in AP Fastboot Continue when ready to start flashing Press any key to continue . . . Flashing HouseOfBionic_FXZ.xml 1 file(s) copied. erasing 'cache'... OKAY [ 0.018s] Flashing HouseOfBionic_WEBTOP.xml 1 file(s) copied. Flashing HouseOfBionic_RADIO.xml 1 file(s) copied. But it reboot my phone and it's stuck on the droid screen again. HoB hasn't done anything in about 25 minutes.

text: Getting audited by the irs is definitely scary, but as long as a person is on the up and up with what they are reporting there is nothing to worry about. However, most people are probably like me and just loose paperwork or guess at this number or that one. Probably not the smartest or the best thing to do, but what else can you do?

Saturday, March 12
Philips Arena
Attendance: 15,522
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Jeff Teague tied a career high with 24 points, Jamal Crawford scored all 20 of his points in the second half and the Hawks handled the Trail Blazers, 91-82, at Philips Arena.
Josh Smith posted 14 points, 12 rebounds and six assists while Joe Johnson added 11 points and five boards for Atlanta, which snapped a four-game skid.
"Any time I get on the floor I am just happy to be there," Teague said. "I had a good game tonight and it was big. I am just glad we got off the skid and we won."
The Hawks swept both games with Portland this season and have won five straight in the series overall, including three straight at home.
LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 22 points, seven assists and six rebounds while Wesley Matthews added 19 points as the Blazers dropped both games of a back-to-back.
"We were missing shots like crazy," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "You shoot 35 percent, pretty much shoot under 40 percent the entire game, you expect to lose. I thought [our team] made the effort but we gotta make shots and take care of the ball."
The game's turning point came in the third quarter, when Atlanta held the Blazers to 33 percent from the field and made half its shots. Behind 10 points from Crawford and a 15-5 rebounding advantage, the Hawks took a 62-54 lead into the final stanza.
Atlanta widened its lead to 10 on Teague's running layup to open the fourth, then established a game-high lead of 18 when Zaza Pachulia's dunk made it 79-61 with 5:27 remaining.
Portland attempted a late comeback but didn't get its deficit below 10 until Matthews capped the scoring on a three with 13.9 seconds remaining.
Portland held a 18-11 lead with half a minute left in the first quarter. However, after Johnson's jumper, Teague scored six straight points in the final 9.2 seconds -- ending with a three-pointer from the corner directly following a steal -- giving the Hawks a 19-18 lead.
Atlanta held a 29-26 lead just past the mid-point of the second before the Blazers went on an 11-2 run, capped by a Gerald Wallace three-pointer with 3:15 remaining.
The Hawks cut their deficit in the closing minutes, and Damien Wilkins' jumper had them within 38-35 entering halftime.

How to improve your coding standards using StyleCop
This article explains how to use StyleCop tool to improve C# coding standards and to maintain consistency throughout the project.
Contents |
It's always a good practice to keep a check on the coding standards used in the project irrespective of the number of developers involved in it. It not only helps in readability and understanding but saves lots of time and resources in the maintenance phase as well. StyleCop is such a FREE .NET tool which enforces a consistent style to be used in the project.
Note: As mentioned here, StyleCop tool can be used to check C# development guidelines only. It can't be used to check XAML guidelines.
- Windows Phone development environment
- StyleCop
Installing StyleCop
StyleCop can be downloaded from here after which you need to install it.
Writing sample code
To showcase the usage of StyleCop, we need some piece of written code. We are writing a simple function which will show a MessageBox to the user.
The code snippet is as below.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using Microsoft.Phone.Shell;
using StyleCopUsage.Resources;
namespace StyleCopUsage
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
// Constructor
public MainPage()
private void greetVisitor()
MessageBox.Show("Hello, Visitor!");
If we try to build/run this sample piece of code then it will compile/run successfully.
Running StyleCop
We will now run StyleCop to check if there are any C# development constraints we haven't met and if yes, then how many? To run StyleCop, simply right click on any page inside the application and choose Run StyleCop option or go through Tools>>Run StyleCop.
The results of the StyleCop tool can be viewed in the form of Warnings in the Error List window as shown below.
You can see, we have 19 StyleCop warnings in our project consisting of just one file and one very simple function. All these warnings are showing that we've not met the guidelines of C# development. Now you can imagine how many warnings would be there in our regular average projects and how much uneasy it would be for any other developer who used to follow C# guidelines immensely. The situation even gets worse when we(the developers), at times, need to deposit our source code to our clients as it puts a negative impression on them.
Removing StyleCop Warnings
The StyleCop warnings can be removed easily when read. So, after removing most of the StyleCop warnings our code looks like shown below.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// <copyright file="MainPage.xaml.cs" company="Sample Company">
// sample rights
// </copyright>
// <author>Pooja Arora</author>
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
namespace StyleCopUsage
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using Microsoft.Phone.Shell;
using StyleCopUsage.Resources;
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
// Constructor
public MainPage()
private void GreetVisitor()
MessageBox.Show("Hello, Visitor!");
The remaining warnings are shown below.
StyleCop Settings
We have an option to remove some or all of the predefined settings set by StyleCop. These settings can be accessed by selecting the project in the Solution Explorer window, right clicking and choosing StyleCop Settings. By default all the settings are applied but we can modify them as per our project's/time's requirement.
Assuming we don't want to handle below mentioned kind of warnings.
For this, we can deselect the relevant check box(s) from the StyleCop Settings as shown below.
After applying above settings, if we again try to re run StyleCop, we will see all the warnings have been removed.
This way we can keep a check that all of us (developers) met with the C# development guidelines using StyleCop tool while making Windows Phone apps.

A new list is out of America's dirtiest cities.
And get this -- New York is no longer in the top spot.
Now, it's New Orleans.
The home of Mardi Gras claimed the distinction of filthiest city in this year's Travel and Leisure Magazine poll.
Readers looked at air quality, litter, even the taste of tap water.
Philadelphia came in at number two, up from number four in last year's survey.
The top five are rounded out by L-A, Memphis and New York, which cleaned up its act to drop to number five this year.

The Fighting Irish moved to 7-0 by defeating two opponents. The first was a game Cougars team, going all out for a signature win. The second, more daunting opponent was the physical and mental hangover from the OT win against Stanford.
While Ev Golson, smiling on the sideline, did not participate, Tommy Rees handled business to guide the Irish to victory. He simultaneously demonstrated why, despite his remarkable competence as a reliever, he doesn't measure up as the ND starting quarterback. Rees passed early to Eifert, forcing the Cougars to cover Tyler more closely, which provided a fulcrum for the Irish rushing attack, which gashed BYU's defense for quadruple their customary rushing yardage yield.
At the 6:31 mark of the third quarter the Cougars missed a field goal, giving the ball to the Irish who trailed 14-7. In their next three possessions, the Irish generated 65 yards in 7, 72 yards in 8 plays, and a suffocating, clock-chewing 48 yards in 9 plays. And the Irish were then ahead, for good, 17-14.
The Notre Dame defense, having gone 17 quarters without yielding a touchdown, gave up two passing TDS in the middle of the second quarter. That was it. They began a new two quarter no TD streak in the second half, and have now played 7 games, 28 quarters, 420 minutes without allowing a rushing TD.
This 2012 Notre Dame team channels Rooster Cogburn. They have shown true grit in four 4th quarters, protecting leads against Purdue and Michigan, and coming from behind against Stanford and the Cougars. Make no mistake, this toughness is a habit, a trait, not mere luck.
Player of the Game: Theo Riddick. Many internet cognoscenti were certain that Wood was the better rusher. Theo said no. He had two archival runs. The first was in the second quarter, a Reggie Brooks/Ray Zellars/Irv Smith-evoking, tackle breaking burst through the left side for 27 yards. The other gem was the "I ain't down" show of focus for 55 yards late in the 3rd quarter.
With the final margin at 17-14, the Irish left the field 7-0 and bowl eligible. I think we have another game next Saturday.
We add one feature to this week's unit rankings. We identify a "pivot player" whose performance,if improved, can elevate the performance of his unit. Admittedly, this is more conjectural than evidentiary, but let's try it.. We'll use "Keep an Eye on" but that will identify the "pivot player."
Front seven-consistent excellence. Excellence from the starters, quality depth, play with good, clean violence without stupid roughness penalties and have no apparent weakness. Keep an Eye on:
Ishaq Williams-has playmaking ability but Shembo is playing so well it's tough to get snaps. Nevertheless Diaco and Ishaq must collaborate to get him on the field. He's ready to be a difference maker right now.
TES-they catch passes. Eifert is America's best receiving TE. They block like madmen (especially #85 other than his mulligan against Stanford-he's a great run blocker, just learning as a pass blocker) and can get downfield when needed.
Keep an Eye on: Koyack-if he can elevate his play just a little bit, then Kelly can feel safer in using the three TE formation.
RBS-yes, they have EARNED the promotion to BCS level. This is a competent, mature group, and they now block better than they have in the past. And yes, we are counting Theo Riddick in both the WR and RB group.
Keep an Eye on: George Atkinson III, has progressed steadily, but if he can become even a minor pass catching threat, the offense opens up. Can you just envision him in space with a linebacker in front of him? He also could use ten more pounds of muscle on his upper body.
New Year's Day Bowl Level
OL-Purdue is now officially a mulligan. As Golson and the passing game progress, the run opportunities open up. Keep in mind, that in October we have, in three games, rushed for 796 yards, or 265 per game. That pace would rank 8th in America in rushing offense. The left side is great, the right side OK. Biggest remaining tests are OU and SC.
Keep an Eye on: Chris Lombard, if he can solidify his play, the right side can close the gap with the left side.
Bowl level
QBS-Golson has exceeded expectations. He continues to excel in the short to intermediate passing game, and is improving as a runner. His command of the offense, the huddle and the field are getting better. Psst!! Everett: ball security, Ball Security, BALL SECURITY!! A "good" outing against OU, whatever that means, could earn a bump in grade.
Keep an Eye on: Tommy Rees – doesn't it feel as if he has one more relief stint in him? Oh, and have you noticed a tall blond kid on the sideline, that kid from Columbus, Indiana. Well, he won't play this year, but nothing he's seen on the field scares him.
WRS – steadily improving, but not daunting. The youngsters are progressing, but they need to take another step up. They really don't drop balls. T.J. Jones has now arrived as a playmaker. He's not a gamebreaker, but he comes up big in the clutch.
Keep an eye on: Chris Brown-if he can catch just one bomb, it will change him and the disrupt the peace of mind of opposing coordinators.
DBS-have played better than expected for three first year (and two surprise) starters. They are athletic and play physically enough. The three biggest tests (OU, SC and bowl opponent) are yet to come. They are a pleasantly surprising 8th in the nation in pass efficiency defense. Keep an Eye on:Matthias Farley and Elijah Shumate. Farley survived and advanced against Stanford, but he has more tests to pass. Shumate is getting more comfortable, and if the coaches can get comfortable lining him up against WRS of OU and SC, that's a great leap forward. This unit is still the Achilles heel.
This is an unusually unified football team, even by Notre Dame standards. They trust each other, they lift each other up, they are fond of each other, they are accountable to each other in addition to the uniform, the fans and the coaches. Great parts, for sure, but the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The most unified team, top to bottom, since 1993.
Did you hear the one about the two bookends that Notre Dame built in Norman?
In 1953, Bud Wilkinson, a product of Bernie Bierman's wondrous machine at Minnesota, was in his seventh year as OU head coach. He had coached Billy Vessels to the Heisman in 1952.
The incomparable Frank Leahy brought his Notre Dame team to open the '53 season in Norman. Leahy was thoughtful enough to bring Ralph Guglielmi, Neil Worden, Joe Heap and Fenwick's own Johnny Lattner with him. It was September 26, 1953 and Notre Dame beat Oklahoma 28-21. Wilkinson responded and the Sooners finished Ike's first term without another loss.
In 1957, Notre Dame was struggling under Terry Brennan. Buzzards were circling Cartier. The Irish were scheduled to visit Norman. The swift Sooners had won 47 in a row, the longest streak ever in the history of man's inhumanity to man (and still the longest ever). Revenge, sweet revenge was on the minds of Sooner Nation. In they came, Eastward from Lone Wolf and Guymon, Southwest from Okmulgee and Claremore, up from the rich oil fields of Duncan and the rich bass population of Lake Eufala. It was November 16, 1957.
Jumping up off the sacrificial altar like Isaac did when Abraham halted the downstroke at Mount Moriah, the Irish refused to be the 48th sacrificial lamb and ended the revengefest with a sweet, short waltz by Dick Lynch around right end for a 7-0 final margin. 47 it was and remained. Not one win more. The bookends were built, and yet remain. (Yeah, we built two around UCLA's 88 game hoop streak, but that was in South Bend.
Oh, the Sooners tried for revenge a decade later in 1966. They had a wondrous middle guard named Granville Liggins, speed and ferocity at linebacker with Eugene Ross and Hary Hettmannsperger, and they planned to ambush the big slow Yankees from Notre Dame with Sooner Speed. Uh-Uh. The big slow Yankees include Page, Duranko, Lynch, Hardy, Gmitter, Conjar, Seymour, Goeddeke and others. Notre Dame 38-OU 0, and it really wasn't that close.
Interestingly. Brian Kelly brought his Cincy Bearcats to Owen Field in 2008. They lost 52-28, to the Sooner team that Florida beat for the BCS title, but they scored points and did not back down.
(1) Survive the opening onslaught. Stoops played and coached for Hayden Fry, but Stoops credits Spurrier, for whom he served as defensive coordinator in the mid-90's, for teaching Bob how to prepare for and win "big games." Unlike Midwesterners like Hayes, Holtz and Schembechler, who always kept some powder dry for the second half of big games, Spurrier preferred to launch his most devastating ordnance early. Stoops will have OU pull out all the stops, and attack aggressively early. Notre Dame must merely survive the opening salvo in the first ten minutes, before the game settles in.
(2) The moment of truth for our secondary. Landry Jones is a four year starter. He has a keen, mature eye for weakness and vulnerability.
(3) Jones will throw to tall, talented receivers, even though four of them, Metoyer (JC transfer) Saunders (the Fresno transfer), Brown (the PSU transfer) and freshman Durron Neal are relatively new to the Sooner system. They have speed and can catch the ball. If you were to count the passes Metoyer caught as a JC, that Brown caught in State College, and Saunders caught at Fresno, it would be a large number. We will get a mega dose of four receiver sets. These are, by a margin, the best receivers the secondary will have seen, including, and in particular, on our own practice field.
(4) Diaco must both protect his secondary, and still find ways to generate pressure against Landry, who is not too nimble. Of course, teams have been trying to sack Jones for four years, with limited success. This is NOT a vintage OU offensive line.
(5) OU is not a strong running team, but is opportunistic with talented Damien Williams leading the running backs.
(6) The Belldozer stops here. Blake Bell has been a short yardage and goal line player. Not against the Irish. Cf Taylor, Stepfan.
(7) The Notre Dame offense must step up. Kansas State got 213 yards rushing and controlled the ball for 34 minutes. Klein had 79 of those yards. But Notre Dame must run effectively, both to set up the pass and to keep Jones & Co. off the field. A litmus test is that Notre Dame must significantly, materially outrush Oklahoma. It SEEMS like a prerequisite to a Notre Dame victory. Long drives could help.
(8) This is not the sack crew of old at OU. There is no Gerald McCoy or Tommie Harris. A combination of good protection and moving Golson around should give him time to throw.
(9) Don't underestimate Mike Stoops as a defensive coordinator. He is a big improvement over the departed and overrated Brent Venables, now at Clemson, who took too many chances and gave up a lot of big plays. Mike Stoops doesn't do that. Remember, he shut out Florida State in the 2000 BCS championship. No easy yards, no easy points.
(10) Our toughest opponent, by a margin. So FAR!
This is only the second true road game for the Irish, the first having been in East Lansing. The Irish have enjoyed home cooking and the insidious influence of backslapping and wide-eyed praise from their fellow students since September 15th. Once they get on that plane, they get to look each other, and only each other, in the eye once again, furloughing the student impulse and remembering that they are a team on a mission.
It is a mission that they all dreamed about and hoped for, an implied proviso in the Notre Dame bargain. Still, it is surprising that they board the plane with a 7-0 record. Well, it's been said before at Notre Dame, with a different predicate, but the punch line is still apropos, Fighting Irish: This is that game. You are that team.

Expect OU to fill the box with 8-9 defenders. They will make Golson throw the ball. I definitely agree that OU will come out swinging by throwing the ball over around 75% of the time. They will be very aggressive.
Damian commented on October 22nd, 2012 at 8:34 am
Toughest test this year is coming. This will be an uphill battle. I think ND can win if all the pieces come together. Would I be surprised at a loss, no. Oklahoma is likely the best team ND faces this year. I would be surprised if it's a blowout though.
Agree on Rees. He is great in relief and in a pinch, but for a whole game he is limited. I remember a lot of people saying how he has plateaud last year. I think we saw that against BYU. That is about as good as Rees gets, which is why he is not the answer at quarterback. I give him credit for helping win the game, he just is not the long term solution.
Golson is going to be a great quarterback. The problems he is having do not surprise me in the least for a first year starter. There is a lot of raw talent there, and with some seasoning and continued practice, he is going to get better. Just the ability he has to roll out of the pocket, reset and still make a great pass makes him an exciting quarterback prospect. By the end of next year, this guy is going to be explosive all around.
fxm replied on October 22nd, 2012 at 8:57 am
The growing pains and process are OK, but it is shame he doesn't have a little more accuracy on the deep ball which would make things so make easier. Tommy doesn't have the strength and EG doesn't have the touch. This offense could be scary if that were not the case.
storespook replied on October 23rd, 2012 at 1:09 am
Absolutely agree. Barring any unforeseen injury, EG is going to be a hell of a QB. It's hard to get seasoned in 6 games. When he gets to a point where he is in command of this offense, I'm telling ya, watch out.
Shazamrock commented on October 22nd, 2012 at 9:24 am
What did I see against BYU?
I saw Tommy Rees start and play the whole way, and with that, I saw a college head coach that made me very proud of Notre Dame, Their football team, and their approach to college athletics.
We win or lose as a team. Next man in. Next guy up. It takes a total team effort for ND to succeed. Kelly said it, stands behind it, and I believe it.
If I were Everett Golson's parents, I would be very thankfull that my son plays for coach Brian Kelly.
Kelly has his priorities in line… which starts with his love, concern, and the well being of all his players all the time.(as it should)
In an age where winning is everything, and wise game decisions are often sacrificed in favor of selfishness and the almighty victory, it is refreshing to see a big time college coach treat his players like the fine young men that they truely are, and not some comodity or piece of meat.
If EG played for LSU, or Alabama, or any of two dozen other programs accross the country, he would have started and played last Saturday.
And maybe he was able to. But is that the wise thing? The responcible thing?I am so glade we are not Alabama or LSU.
Anytime I hear about a concussion, or head injury, I can't help but think of our own Dave Duerson. Could an ounce of prevention been the difference?
There is of course, (Besides being 7-0) an upside to all of this.
The offensive line was needed to step up. And did so for the second straight week against a very good defense.
The team rallied around Tommy Rees.
They learned how to win dispite adversity.
We certainly are not a single running back team.
They are the fighting Irish!
And now, if cleared and deemed fully healthy, we have a well healed and well rested Everett Golson going into Norman Oklahoma!
We have a team of players, not individuals. And that's what it will take for continued success.[Reply]
David replied on October 22nd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Well we saw ohio state have their QB hospitalized and he was miraculously cleared with absolutely no signs of a concussion. Wow that gear they wear needs to be issued to all teams. Because it sure did look like a concussion a mild one at the very least

Yes, and that very attitude of Urban Meyer and Co. is just the recipe to injure his qb for life. Coach Kelly made the right decision; he took care of his men first and foremost. Now EG will be 100% for the OU game.
Damian replied on October 22nd, 2012 at 2:37 pm
Agree on the call to put Rees in. I think Kelly did the right thing. If you have any doubt on a concussion, best not to chance it.
My main point was that Golson is going to be a great quarterback and I agree with Kelly's decision that he is the starter (unless injured). The talent is all their, he just needs grooming. All the problems he has (ball security mostly) can be coached. I'm a huge fan of the NY Giants and one thing Coach Coughlin teaches his team above all else is ball security. I think the staff will continue to work with Golson on that and he will get better.
JDH commented on October 22nd, 2012 at 10:34 am
They found a way to win, period. Granted, we cannot be a "second half team) against OU and USC. Lots of hard work each week with this offense will yield better results. If Brindza hits his field goals the game would have been much less hair raising.
I believe the Oklahoma game is going to come down to turnovers. I think Oklahoma is going to be unpleasantly suprised at how hard it is to score on this ND defense. If Golson does not turn the ball over, we will leave Norman 8-0. We will need to score about 21 points to win. OU is 43rd in turnovers, the worst of all top 10 teams. ND is 10th. That's my prediction.
Shazamrock replied on October 22nd, 2012 at 11:47 am
Turn overs are always crucial, but never more so than in big games against talented and well coached teams.
There is just no margin for error. No forgiveness. No second chances.
But strangely enough, I feel better about ND on the road agianst OU this week, than I did about last weeks game at home agianst an unranked BYU team.
Maybe it was the mentality that last week we were playing not to lose, and this week, as the road team, and a 9.5 point, undefeated underdog, we can be more aggressive!
If Kelly has anything in reserve, anything up his sleeve, a bag of surprises, this is the game to get them out.
I would love to see something from our special teams.
A kick off return, a punt reurn, a reverse on a return, a blocked punt or a blocked field goal.These plays are game breakers!
Crowd silencers, momentum changers if you can get them.Just ask Frank Beemer and VT.
A great, and always dangerous underdog team, because of their special teams play in big games.Even if our offense does it's job, and the defense does theirs, we will probably still need a play or two from our special teams!
So far our special teams have contributed by playing fudementally sound football and not beating themselves.
Good snaps, good holds, good blocking, good coverage, solid tackeling, and smart decision making.Maybe this is a good spot to just turn them loose and go for it?

"But strangely enough, I feel better about ND on the road agianst OU this week, than I did about last weeks game at home agianst an unranked BYU team." -Shazamrock
I feel the exact same way. I was nervous all week about BYU, because they are one of those teams. Always solid, can probably beat most top 10 teams on any given day if they play well. And the Stanford game was so physical and tiring.
I think ND will rise to this occasion.
JDH commented on October 22nd, 2012 at 10:37 am
Shazam- I really like your analysis and think it's right on target. 2 weeks in a row this team showed the character to come from behind and win. It speaks volumes and it's been YEARS since we had that ability and mindset. A culture of losing is, day in day out, week in week out, being changed into a culture of winning again.
Sad Warrior replied on October 22nd, 2012 at 11:36 am
JDH-Amen! I do not mean to be cliche but this team has shown it is 'battle tested.' They expect to succeed and that is so critical to the mental set that develops.
As for OU? The Irish need to let them know right off the bat that "We came here hunting for you." Not vice versa. Best to be the invader rather than the invaded.
Go Irish! Hooah!
bC commented on October 22nd, 2012 at 12:20 pm
I cant wait to see ND sodomize Mark May's every hope and dream, brought to you from Norman, OK
storespook replied on October 23rd, 2012 at 1:12 am
Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha. Well said about that Mr-He-Thinks-He-Knows -It- All
bC replied on October 23rd, 2012 at 2:52 am
The last game day I seen this guy that had a sign that said "Mark May has a cheese d!*k" I laughed so hard hoping he would be able to get it on tv
duranko commented on October 22nd, 2012 at 1:59 pm
JDH, I agree that OU will be surprised by our Front Seven. Don't think they\ve seen anything like it since they played Florida.
I thought our Front Seven would be good, but am shocked that it is as good as it is. Seriously, is it not true that all seven players, even the great Manti have SIGNIFICANTLY elevated their game in 2012?
JDH replied on October 22nd, 2012 at 3:12 pm
It's quite incredible Duranko. They play with a toughness and expectation to win that we haven't seen in a long time. Defense wins games, and championships, period.
Damian commented on October 22nd, 2012 at 2:43 pm
I agree with others about BYU. All week we heard about the dreaded trap game. Then ND comes out flat. A loss to BYU could have dashed our hopes of a BCS game.
I hope and believe ND can beat Oklahoma, but I also know on paper this is the most complete team ND will face up to this point (possibly all year). So ND might come away with a loss. But that really won't affect BCS prospects. ND could probably lose to OK and USC and go to the BCS (though USC looks more vulnerable this year). As long as they duke it out and beat who they have to beat (Pitt, BC and Wake Forest), and fight to the end with OK and USC, they'll be a lock for a BCS bowl.
That being said, I hope ND can put the beatdown on OK. I'd love to see ND in the NC talk (we'll still probably need Alabama or Oregon to lose for that to happen, but you never know).
JDH replied on October 22nd, 2012 at 3:13 pm
And I think we will see Alabama and/or Oregon lose one this year. The second half of their seasons look MUCH tougher than the first half. My bet is that Bama lets one slip…
bj commented on October 23rd, 2012 at 8:40 am
kelly has to produce some offensive scheme that gets more points on the bd, and we need a new field goal kicker, cant he produce? diaco has big time
ND Southy replied on October 23rd, 2012 at 10:51 am
An offensive scheme to produce more points, hmmmm, interesting thought. I wonder if a head coach with 20+ years experience and almost 200 career wins has thought of that.
Pete k commented on October 23rd, 2012 at 2:14 pm
I think it's a front 10 or 12, and that's been important. Springman, Day, Schwenke and about 5 or 6 LBs led by Teo

you think cowher is scared of firing up the bengals? or upsetting marvin lewis? maybe marvin can pin "we dey" up in the locker room right next to chad johnsons list and still photos of their "rap/funk" video. lol
All im reading here is "Nope, sorry LITP - I cant back up my previous assertion"
I said I dont think its classy for coaches to indulge in snack talk - there is a reason why Cowher finds himself in the tiny miority in respect of other head coaches on this matter.
Thanks anyway.
They've been great for a while now, three Super Bowls' worth of great. But only this season have the New England Patriots become The Show, the must-see team of stars, pretty boys and reformed bad boys. Suddenly, the Patriots are not simply great; they're compelling, fascinating, appearing to be almighty and a touch lawless.
The Patriots didn't bother with swagger to start this NFL season; they went straight to defiant. Either you're one of them or you're about to get crushed.

Today, I went shopping with a friend of mine who I haven't hanged out with in a long time. We were originally going to see Bully but the tickets were expensive so instead we decided to visit Long Beach.
It was so hot and then it got windy. I think it's cause we were close to the beach. There were some people protesting by the downtown area about god or something. There was also like a race nascar thing going on so some streets were closed.
Alright so I saw this documentary in english class called the weather underground and now I'm riled up and returing to my revolutionary thoughts. After a while I calmed down, but now I believe we must get rid of the capitalist pigs once more. So now I have to write a research paper on them and do laundry.
That's it so watch the film or read about them, whichever is cheaper.
So I took my meds yesterday and I feel better and my headache when away! And those weird thoughts too. I went running and did exercise with my friend. My ass and legs are so sore. We also talked and had lots of fun. We were saying that we should buy a mini van and paint it different colors. Mostly pyschadelic. Is that how it's spelled? Also in english we're doing creative writing so that we don't use common verbs and contractions and others. Wasn't easy but not impossible either. Today has been a good day. Better than yesterday.
Right now I'm registering for the SAT I'm taking and it's going to suck! I had some disturbing thoughts earlier today but I feel fine right now cause I went running with my friend and we talked too. Firstly, I wanted to kill myself, but then I thought, why not take someone with me? Then I thought it has to be someone I hate or has done something to me. Then I said I'll bash their heads with my baseball bat. And then see all their brain matter all over. And they'd squirm in pain and feel what I've felt for the last 4 years. Then I took my meds and now I'm fine.
I was planning on writing a journal this weekend but I was too depressed and I was contemplating suicide so I didn't. Now I feel better so why not write today.
I'm sitting on my bed, chewing gum, and waiting for a friend. The reason I say this is because even my own so-called friends don't seem to want to understand nor care to.
I did a scene with my friend for theatre class yesterday. It was for midterm (it's a college class) and it went well. We improvised most of the time.
This whole week hasn't been kind to me. I keep having headaches and I don't get enough sleep, but why? I'm also experiencing shortness of breath and I keep eating sugary snacks for breakfast. I noticed, too, that I am out of toilet paper. Will it never stop?
This week is going to be really busy for me! I just got back from my friend's house. We did homework and finished editing the film. Then tomorrow my other friend is going to throw a surprise party for her sister and I'm going after my therapy session. On friday it's my other friend's birthday and we're going to eat at a restaurant.
Not much has happened except that a friend of mine is moving to Kentucky and she hasn't even told her sister. Well I really don't care cause I don't talk to her as much anymore.
This weekend I didn't do much. I went to eat pizza with my family on saturday. The same day I also saw Casablanca. Also it was hailing yesterday night and the storm was crazy! It isn't always nice and sunny in Los Angeles.
Today I finished filming the commercial I have to do for chemistry class. Last time we did a film for that class everyone in my group was stressed, even me but more. We did a beauty salon service commercial and it was fun and tiring! I had to do my hair slicked back and it was so funny.
Haven't posted since tuesday I think. Can't remember. This week has been really boring.
Ok so I read that if your dreams die, then you're dead. I think it was a Langston Hughes poem I read. So now I'm scared and I'd like to discuss cause I'm afraid I'm dead.
I want to be (any one would do) a model, actor, director, portrait photographer, photo-journalist, and pornstar.
I only want to be a model because I believe it would boost my self-esteem and it looks like fun. Also because you get to be on magazine covers and it seems so glamorous. I also think photos tell stories.
Today I went to eat chinese food after school with my friend. There's a chinese restaurant close to our school so that's why I go their often. I then went to theatre class and we are going to start reading Hamlet so that means I have to get my copy tomorrow from the public library. I have that class only on mondays and wednesdays. I won't go this wednesday because I have an appoinment with my therapist after school.
Also I'm getting sick and my throat hurts. I made myself a honey and lemon tea. Hopefully I feel better cause I don't want to feel like shit tomorrow.
I've been busy with school and theatre class that I haven't been able to post for like a week or so.
So for theatre class my friend/scene partner and I had to do a cold reading of our selected play, The Bear, which is a jest in one act. We did fairly well and it has many emotions in it, therefore when we actually do it, we need to be ready.
For speech class I have to write four poems and I don't think I'll do it cause then people will know and laugh or look away and I'm not doing it.
Today was the first day of school. Surprisingly it went well and my friend was telling me that I wouldn't stop talking. I didn't take it as a bad thing cause she said I was talking to people I never do and I was more talkative cause I'm usually quiet. Being a quiet person is sometimes useful because when I say something, people know it's important or what I'm thinking/feeling.
I think that being gay is like a person's hair color or skin tone: no matter how much you try and change it, you'll always be what you were, or are; whichever comes first. I am not trying to sound philisophical or appear philisophical but that is what I think and I'm just trying to get used to the idea of sharing my thoughts and feelings.
That said, I can begin.
So I've been thinking about college and I highly doubt I'll go right after high school because I'm going to need time to think about what I want to do career wise.
I'm having movie night with my friends tomorrow and we're going to have fun!
I hate taking out the lint from the lint compartment in my dryer because it's annoying. Tomorrow is ash wednesday and I'm not sure if catholics only celebrate it. I'm also not sure why they go to work on sundays.

Products of the Year
WomensCycling.net has tested many items throughout the year, on our travels, at races, in races and training. All of the products have been purchased and used in the same manner as anyone else would do - nothing has been received for test from suppliers or manufacturers, the items listed below are therefore considered as serious contenders for something you might like to buy for yourself.
Giro Pneumo Helmet
This must be one of the lightest and coolest (in more ways than one) helmets on the market! The fact that it is worn by so many of the top pro teams attests to its quality. It looks good and fits very well too. This helmet is exceptionally well ventilated - 19 vents according to Giro's blurb. The fit is enhanced by the Roc Loc system which allows micro adjustment of the fit via the straps which tighten round the back of the head. The pads inside the helmet are even made from Coolmax.
Mine is in WomensCycling.net orange and blue. The straps are blue - not the standard black and the buttons to work the Roc Loc are also coloured - orange. Well, okay, the helmet is actually the Rabobank special team version - in (you guessed it) orange and blue......
Other colours available - black / carbon, also white. Prices - around £90
Team colours available - USPS (red, white, blue), Cofidis (red, white) and "Lone Star" - a Lance Armstrong special (at a special price too!) Prices - around £120 (Lone Star £130)
Sizes for all helmets Small, Medium and Large
Deeside Cycles mail-ordered mine to me in just three days.

After two-plus weeks of practice action, PFW has decided to take stock of the Patriots roster. Who's on the rise? Who's trending in the wrong direction? Who's holding steady?
Read on to find out which Patriots players are worthy of a Buy, a Hold or a Sell as they get ready to do battle in the 2013 preseason opener in Philadelphia against the Eagles. And remember a Buy doesn't necessarily mean a guy is going to make the 53-man roster after camp, nor does a Sell mean that the player won't make the team. This is about which way a player is trending more than his specific chances come roster cutdown time.
Quarterbacks (3)
Running Backs (8)
Tight End (6)
Wide Receiver (11)
Offensive Line (15)
Defensive Line (16)
Vince Wilfork - BUY - Leading the charge at a new-look defensive tackle spot.
Linebacker (10)
Defensive Backs (15)
Adrian Wilson - HOLD - Veteran has struggled at times covering tight ends, but is a load near the LOS.
