We will be heading to Central TX to spend the holiday at my folks home with all the Family. Dad will be slow smoking the bird, as we have all come to expect and enjoy. I know a ham is in the plans and will be cooked on his holland grill to perfection. Also on the menu...cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, black eyed peas, mashed potatoes, gravy and fresh rolls. Desserts will consist of the 3 main pies we enjoy during this time of year...pecan, pumpkin and chocolate. I know an Italian cream cake will be in the mix, and some home brewed Belgian Blond ale will be the beverage of choice as we enjoy time with Family, Give Thanks and enjoy a little traditional NFL football.
I am going to buy a turkey breast, some good sourdough, and cranberries to make some food and hopefully brew a honey orange hefeweizen. No plans, no people, no schedule.
To save room in the fridge, I plan to put the turkey and brine in one of those Williams-Sonoma brining bags, which are reported to not leak, and then put the whole thing in my 10-gallon MLT cooler with ice to keep it cold overnight.

Don't the set shields already have powers? I seem to remember shields that proc turn rates, deflectors with acc, engines with slip stream cool downs... ect ect...
This is really just a test too see if people are willing too BUY there over powered sets.
I guess this one isn't a passive so that makes it different... ya its basicly just a borg tractor tied to one piece instead of a couple. I have a feeling we will be seeing more of this in the cstore... I mean once you have 5 or 6 P2W loaded you run out of room right... reusable battaries with skills...
They already have weapons on some ships that level with... engines shields and deflectors is just the natural evolution. Just wait 6 months from now you will be able to run a ship with 2 paid weapons a paid shield with skill a paid engine with a skill... a paid deflector with a skill... a red matter cap 2012 Cstore Maya edition that has a skill... + the 4 or 5 BS units people already load now. I can't wait.

Monday practice report
Posted by Adam Jude
Darron Thomas continued to throw well, the defense came up with a key stop during the final two-minute drill and the energy was as amped as it has been all season during Oregon's practice this morning in the Moshofky Center, the last full-blown workout before Thursday's 6 p.m. kickoff against UCLA at Autzen Stadium.
"I thought it was pretty good. Good tempo, good energy," coach Chip Kelly said. "Today's our last big, physical work day, because this is a Wednesday practice for us. But they were good. The defense came up big in the two-minute situation, which is encouraging to see because I root for both sides."
(Only on game days, Kelly said with a smile, is he an offensive guy.)
Trying to drive the No. 1 offense into scoring position during the "clutch" drill at the end of practice, Thomas narrowly missed Lavasier Tuinei down the middle of the field on fourth down, giving the No. 1 defense the win.
House of Pain's "Jump Around" blared from the loudspeakers midway through practice, and many of the players started, well, jumping around the field and throwing their hands up, as if in the middle of a dance club. Good energy indeed.
Maybe it was just a coincidence, but on the next play (against the scout team) Thomas hit David Paulson in stride for a long "touchdown," and on the other side of the field Cliff Harris picked off Bryan Bennett along the sideline and, on the play after that, Eddie Pleasant scooped up a fumble in the backfield.
"For me, that kind of shows the character of our team, when you see us on the hardest practice of the week and you see that much energy flying around," senior defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. "That shows you how well we're practicing and how well we're staying in shape and how well the guys are moving around and getting prepared."
The defensive was without three starters today: cornerback Anthony Gildon, tackle Zac Clark and end Terrell Turner, all listed on the injury report with leg injures. Gildon and Turner both wore a boot at Sunday's practice; Turner still had a boot on today and Gildon had ice on his foot/ankle at one point.
In Gildon's place, Harris took most of the reps with the No. 1 defense. Entering the Washington State game, Harris wasn't listed on the two-deep at corner, though he plays enough snaps that many would consider him a top option. His numbers certainly back that up, namely his four interceptions and four touchdowns (three punt returns, one interception return).
It certainly seems plausible that this could be the week Harris enters the starting lineup.
Defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti recognizes that some fans don't understand why Harris wasn't already listed as a starter.
"This is not going to be a very popular statement, but the fans don't coach, the fans don't sit in our meetings and the fans don't do what we do every day in trying to mold young men," Aliotti said. "There's more to it than just football. And I love our fans, and I appreciate their enthusiasm and I appreciate their support, but this is not an intramural program.
"We're trying to win. And I would think that most people would think that we would try play the best people to try win the game."
Also of note, Kenjon Barner attended practice for the third straight day but did not participate.
The Register-Guard doesn't necessarily condone the comments here, nor does it review every post.

Is it a coincidence that "Jump Around" is the song Winsconsin plays between the 3rd and 4th quarter at Camp Randall?
Duckdude, Top o' the Heap
Great to hear that the Ducks are energized by their No. 1 ranking. Never before has a Duck Football team gotten a boost like that! Sorry to hear that Kenjon is not yet healed enough to play. WSU seems to be hurting a lotta star players…..such as Kenjon, Darren Thomas, and….most recently, Nick Foles. Coincidence? or is it: "we can't win, so, what else can we do?"
I know that normally the team stays in a hotel Friday nights before home games, are they doing the same Wednesday night for the Thursday night game? Will the team be attending classes Thursday?
James, Beaverton
Damn right Aliotti! Drives me nuts to hear fans second guessing the coaches, who are highly paid to eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff 24/7.
Thurgood Maloney
Wisconsin's jump around song tradition is probably the lamest thing i ever seen. It reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire. It's funny that the team was playing that song in practice.
I'm loving the high energy practice. Lets hope it translates well into Thursday. GO DUCKS!Thurgood
You can't make that case with Darron Thomas. He was running and landed on his arm wrong. How is that Wazzu's fault?
Football is a contact sport. The hit on Barner was at least a personal foul, though (by definition of the personal foul rules this year, ie, leading with the helmet.)
machaca and rice, i feel like bear goulash tonight
I don't think WSU is out to hurt anybody.
They are just playing super aggressively to make up for a lack of talent and depth.
It's the same with BSU. I don't think Petersen instructs his players to injure the other team. But he wants them to play at Aggro Level 10 in order to make up for a disparity in talent.
It is a problem, of course, because as we've seen the teams that play overly aggressive football (BSU) tend to injure other players on the regular.
This is why the solution is officiating. The Conferences should tell their officials to keep a short leash on ultra aggressive players, and give them the power to eject players.
I can think of a few players that would be ejected regularly if that were the case. Vontaze Burfict, for one. And probably half the roster at Boise.
Go Ducks! Pepper spray the Bruins!
Scot, Eugene
You said that KB is at practice but did not participate. Could you/can you, elaborate on this?
I mean without being technichal, is he taking and interacting with his team mates, is he running doing skill drills, or is he passive, and just standing arround?..
True. Boise, especially, does seem to be out to prove something physically every time they play a big boy. I'm not suggesting they play softer, just that rules are rules. Officials seem to buy into BSU's mentality, though, and don't throw the flags like they would if the opposing team did the same things. It's almost as if the officials (even everyone, for that matter) somehow feel bad for BSU.
Kyle, UO Campus
I was just thinking this weekend how great that Wisconsin tradition is.
also, if you watched the game Sat. night, you saw Pryor and crew dancing around along with the Wisconsin fans during the song.
looks like a blast

I posted this on an earlier thread.
There's a Tennessee fan on their blog who every week recommends that all team members should be sure to eat tomatoe soup the night before the game. Superstition?

with kenjon out (and i have to assume he is out at least for ucla, if not longer), how has the rotation behind lamichael been looking? is alston getting a lot of the reps after lmj, or is huff starting to get more now?
thanks for carrying the whole load these past few days!
go (#1) ducks!
ResilientDuck, Portland
Listening to debate about Riley going for two against UW ... just have to rant about the talking head on 95.5 The Game (John Lund, whom I generally like) who says you have to blame someone, whether it be the coach for making the call or the tight end for dropping the ball. No, you don't have to blame someone—that mindset drives me nuts! Give credit to the safety for making a play on the ball, and move on already!
Duckdude, on watch
lightning yellow, m&r: I find it hard to believe, too. But, I'm just sayin'. I'm probably wrong, but….....they bear watching for some skewed results, i.e. more than their share of causation of disabling injuries.

Curtis Interuptis, Sisters, Oregon
Okay, I have a scenario that I need help working through.
What if the Ducks stay undefeated up to the Civil War (a big if, considering the brutal schedule), and what if every other Pac -10 team (with the exception of the OSU Beibers) has three conference losses, not counting USC (non factor). And what if the Beibers have two losses but own tiebreakers over all other teams (other than the Ducks).
Civil War Scenario: If the Ducks win they go to the National Championship Game—If the Ducks lose they go to the Rose Bowl. If the Beibers win, the Ducks go the the Rose Bowl and the Beibers go to a lower tier, non BCS Bowl. But if the Beibers lose, they go to the Rose bowl.
Could it happen? Can some schedule cruncher figure out if it is possible? How would that be for a weird Civil War?
GoDucks808, Honolulu
And what about Darryl Hawkins?
Anybody else notice it's hard to type with an index finger in the air…

Spike89, Springfield
Part of the WSU/injury mix might just be their old field. Obviously the hit on Barner had nothing to do with the field, but DT's just as obviously did. That, the rash of leg injuries, and LMJ getting banged up all could have come from a worn-out, overly hard artificial turf.
BSU just plays a bit over the line with aggression. Anyway, I'm as much a homer for the Ducks as anyone, but I get a bit tired of so many of us being quick to describe every opponent's hard hit and Duck injury as a cheap shot and then celebrating every hard hit and opponent injury. It is football and even when there is an illegal hit, it is almost always because these guys are moving so fast. Sure, there are cheap shot artists, but most of the players are just trying to find that very thin line between playing on the edge of control and going slightly over. -
Spike89, Springfield
Curtis #21,
The scenario is semi-valid, but the reality is that a 5 loss (3 conference)OSU would NEVER get picked for the Rose Bowl. The RB is a BCS bowl that is only forced to take the champions for the Big10 and Pac10—they have no obligation to take the 2nd-place team and wouldn't even be allowed to choose OSU in your scenario (they'd have to choose from among the BCS eligible teams).
Curtis Interuptis, Sisters, Oregon
Spike 89,
Thanks, that clears it up. Too bad, I really wanted to watch the Sheep Boys squirm on something like that….. Not the sheep, the scenario….
DuckButter, Work?
Check out this Civil War scenario.
Ducks roll in 11-0.
Beavers roll in 8-3 with only 1 conference loss. Ducks win and go to the NC game. Beavers win, they take the Pac-10 and go to the Rose Bowl while the Ducks hope for a Fiesta Bowl invite. If not, it's the Holiday Bowl with a 1 loss season. Imagine that!!Man I'm bored, need it to be Thursday.
Go Ducks!!
Adam: Lot's of "energy" in your posting but only one "engery". Hint. ;-)
And I have the same question as GoDucks808, where's Hawkins in the mix?
Yet another reason why Allioti should be replaced.
Cliff Harris should be starting now.
He should have been starting at the start of the season.
And he should have started the Rose Bowl and jumped some routes and picked off a few of the ugly floaters Pryor was lofting up for grabs all day.
A genius Nick is not.
Blackout, Eugene
It's going to be another blackout on Thursday, join the students who are on board for this. Go Ducks!

I don't suppose you would consider loaning us your coaching staff for a weekend?
rckymtnduck, denver
Bark rats still have Stanford and USC, I suspect they will have more than 1 conference loss heading into civil war. We already have tie breakers over Stanford and USC (by virtue of their disqualification). Barring a duck losing streak of multiple games, the only team that has a realistic shot is Zona, who still plays USC and Stanford, and their q.b. went home to Texas to have his knee examined (the injury is more serious than Stoops will admit). I like our chances of going to Pasadena (more likely than not); however, I think the stars will need to align perfectly to play for the BCS (50% chance).
BCS is a Cancer, Wilsonville
An unbeaten Auburn and an unbeaten Oklahoma would play for the NC. It would be what the powers in charge would want.
EverybodyDuck, ca
The UCLA game is presenting the opportunity to rest Barner. Sadly, Alston and others have been a significant drop off in the backfield.
LaMichael needs some relief back there that produces. Shouldn't we run the fly sweep with Huff and others to help take the key off James when slamming between the guards?
Defensively we have been gashed by the run to start games. UCLA brings a punishing ground game. What are the Ducks doing, if anything, to compensate for this weakness in practice? I assume a 4-3 with the linebackers up close because of the questionable passing ability of UCLA, but that won't help against a team like USC. Any noticeable adjustments at this time?
Who is returning kickoffs in practice? Punt returns beside Harris?
Why the big secrecy regarding the extent of the Barner injury? Is the kid out for the season? Day to Day is a bit obnoxious when dealing with a head injury and we are not allowed to know the severity of it.
Everyone in America knows Barner won't play on Thursday, wished it weren't so, but knowing he'd return someday would be comforting.
Thursday is huge, I hope Kelly can keep a lid on the focus for the team.
Nado, Portland
We know Harris was in for Gildon, how about Zac and Turner's spots? -
I think we should play "The Other One" between the 3rd and 4th quarters. That would be a fitting tradition.
Mike, Eugene
I heard from a friend who is roomates with a duck football player that Lache and Dontae were getting extensive amounts of touches with the 1st team offense late last week. Now I hear from Adam that it seems Huff and Hawkins are going to suppliment Lamike with the absence of Kenjon. Huff is a special player with tons of experience with the ball in his hands and he has shown he can compete at the Pac-10 level with the big boys as a true freshman. But if Kenjon concussion keeps him out for 2-3 more weeks why disrupt what Huff is doing at the Slot when you have 2 amazing young talents with Dontae and Lache? I know, I know there not ready and we have to believe the coaches. Which ultimately will happen no matter what I rant about. But really? 5 star RB's can't figure it out with a whole fall camp and 7 weeks of practice? Is a redshirt that important? Oregon can recruit RB's all day long. Oregon can't return offensive lines every year and start off 6-0 in the Pac-10 very easily. This is special and rare! Huff is really starting to show his talents at WR becoming Darrons favorite target. Heck, Costa threw to him 3 times in a row! And were going to mess with that and put him in the backfield to rest up Lamike? Lache and Dontae must be way farther from getting on the field than I thought? I can see Lache creating a buzz and excitement similiar to what happened when Blount came out on the field to play in the Civil War. Darron, Lache, Lamike, Barner, Huff, Maehl, and Davis = a shit storm for any defensive coordinator! Lets blow this season open and start putting up 80 points! Come on coaches! Lets turn up the heat and show our true potential!
BlackDuck, Happy Valley
I agree. Now that were so far ahead in the rankings (as i predicted correctly in the summer) its time to hit it in overdrive and give it all we got. Offensive line wont be back next year so the NC run is now or never. Even if it means to throw everything we have, like releasing Seastrunk or Williams, then i say Go For It! Chip all in.
And no black out please, didnt work out right for the stanford game.
Yellow out was planned already -
LMJ21 for Heisman
Why waste Lache and Dontaes redshirt? We have quality depth at RB and LMJ will get more carries. Chip Kelly said he's not going to waste a redshirt just to play someone. I would love to see what they can do this year, but look what a redshirt year did for LMJ.
fro, section 3
Sooth, Obviously there is something he's not doing to not make him a starter. Whether it's not covering correctly in zone D, sleeping during film review, etc. he is not doing something up to snuff with the coaches. My guess would be the Zone coverage as I have noticed many times he is on the field when it is man to man situations and we all know when it comes to man to man the boy is the CHEESE.

I've read that if the Pac-10 Champion goes to the NC game, then the Rose Bowl is not obligated to take the 2nd place Pac-10 team. They can go outside the Conference for their pick. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Check out this Civil War scenario.
Ducks roll in 11-0.
Beavers roll in 8-3 with only 1 conference loss. Ducks win and go to the NC game. Beavers win, they take the Pac-10 and go to the Rose Bowl while the Ducks hope for a Fiesta Bowl invite. If not, it's the Holiday Bowl with a 1 loss season. Imagine that!!Man I'm bored, need it to be Thursday.
Go Ducks!!
==============Doesn't work. If OSU beat Oregon in the Civil War, there would be a tie for the conference since OSU lost to UW and Oregon would have beat them. Then, I think they look at OOC games which means Oregon goes to the RB anyway. (See 2000 for an example where there was a 3-way tie and UW got the nod for the RB).
LMJ21 for Heisman, Lou Holtz OR-EE-GONEth
Cliff Harris is great in Pass D but his run support isn't as good as the other corners. I'm guessing that what it is.

I'm not so sure that that an OU/Auburn matchup would be "what the powers in charge would want." Nearly the entire ESPN staff is on the Oregon bandwagon, and they love watching our exciting brand of play. I think they'll be overjoyed with us in the NC game.
Mike, Eugene
I agree with not wasting Lache or Dontae if Lamike stays healthy and Barner remains on the sideline. But I just want to know if these guys are being prepared to play incase something happens. Like it to hear or not. Were one play away from not having a descent running back. What if Lamike gets hurt against UCLA? No Lamike, no Kenjon and Kelly decided to let Huff and Hawkins run some plays along with Remene? Really? Do you want to talk about spiraling out of control. Lamike will come up limping, or with a hurt arm, a tweaked finger, a twisted ankle, etc. He will not make it 30 touches a game for the next 2 games without injury! I hate to say that becasue I don't want that to happen at all! The only hope that Coaching staff sees something that I'm completely in the dark on. Huff was a taleneted QB, RB, WR, Kick off, and Punt returner in highschool and he's doing great. But man I'm going to be really upset if something happens to Lamike and were forced to throw the ball and become one dimensional! Lache and Dontae are the future and besides JStew who else came out of highschool more ready to play at the Pac-10 level? I know there not ready yet. But you have to get them ready and some touches with the offense or else we could be really screwed! So how fast would Lamike be wearing an armoured suit? Ha Ha! Stay Healthy Lamike! Your our work horse!
Mike, Eugene
Have you seen Lache or Dontae atleast practice with the offense? I'm curious why I was told from a player that Lache was taking reps and yet no one says a thing about it in practice. Even with a focus on kenjon being out…still nobody talks about his replacement? I know it's Remene and then likely Dayrle or Andres. But what happens when we find that Kenjon is out for 2-4 more weeks? Can Lamike really take that many reps?
Sorry for being such a negative nancy but I just cant believe with barners future uncertain that were not getting either of our two stud rb's ready to go. Seriously Kenjon might not ever play again? No one knows!
Driedout Webbing, Nogales, AZ
"UCLA brings a punishing ground game." Yea, they racked up an overwhelming total of 28 yards on the ground against Cal, and we all know what a great D Cal has against the run.
DuckButter, Eugene
If there is a 2 team tie the tie-breaker is the head to head matchup, which would be OSU over UO in that case. UW doesn't matter. Maybe you are talking about 3 way ties and such. Anyway, it won't happen, I'm just bored.

Best comments ever from Aliotti.
EverybodyDuck, ca
#48, I wouldn't be so dismissive of the UCLA ground game. UCLA beat Texas with it and they have as good a defense as Oregon. We have been giving up huge chunks on the ground.
Without Kenjon, Oregon better find a way to get James the ball without being keyed and punished at the line of scrimmage or James will suffer from a beat down.
How did we get so thin at RB with a single injury?
Thank you, BCS, for not sticking the #1 on the Ducks. Frankly, I'd rather they be at #4 about now. #1 just removes all chips from all shoulders and the results are predictable.
I wouldn't mind seeing what Boise would do with an unambiguous #1 ranking. No school carries a bigger chip on its collective shoulder. Without that chip, would they just float away?
#20 That was my dream scenario at the beginning of the year until realizing it was the Rose Bowl's turn to take a AQ team should the pac-10 champ being in the NC game. It would be perfect. The Beavers only benefit if they lose. Pretty much guaranteeing a Duck victory. Unfortunately that is next to impossible this year.
GoDucks808, Honolulu
BTW, Orwss/Tokyo:
Did you see the UO-Stanford game Saturday night? My Tokyo girlfriend, a total Duck, said ESPN Asia did the replay…
And ditto about trusting the coaches. I played in high school, and in college took a football coaching class to get what I thought would be an easy couple of credits—turned out to be one of the toughest courses I ever took, classic Greek included… Unless you're at practice every day, in film sessions and meetings, which none of us at the site are, you have very little to go on other than what we see in games. Chip got us to No. 1 in 19 games—I'm sticking with him and his guys…
With index finger pointing high…
Go Ducks!
Texas Duck, Waco TX
Not sure what the obsession is with keeping the redshirts on the freshmen running backs. Either they develop into All American candidates like LaMichael in which case they likely should and would go pro by the end of their 4 years anyway. Or they don't turn out to be that good and it won't matter anyway if not before. Few players turn into indispensable redshirts seniors, especially at that position. Be different if they were on the line maybe.
Andy, Eugene
How many times will we try the blackout before people understand how stupid it looks on TV. Just make sure your not sitting in the stands dead silent when the camera swings your direction.
I hope they pull a redshirt once they figure out that Alston only runs well against FCS teams.
As somebody said earlier I hope Huff can stay at the TZR position because he looks to have found his role.
I have a feeling we will see even more quick passes out to the WR. That seems to work just as well as a 5 yd run.
Am I the only one who thinks the BCS computers are messed up. I was wondering if anyone has put the NFL teams through the same system. I would be curious how it works for ranking the NFL.
abducktion, SoCal
BlackDuck and Mike have it right:
Time for the coaching staff to make the difficult decision and burn a redshirt (or two).
Time to burn a redshirt or two for the following reasons:
Lamike is the BOMB and STRONG - but if KB is out for significant time then we are one LMJ injury away from this team falling FAR from the top. He needs ~15 touches to help blow up this UCLA game then send him to the showers. We need the horses to spell LMJ and lower the odds of injury, while remaining explosive from that position. 30+ touches/game for LMJ until KB returns is a BAD idea. Perhaps I am wrong but I see Alston as more of a possession back. The solution may be to bring along a youngster.
The logic of "saving" Lache may be flawed. Consider: if he is as advertised, then he won't be here for a fifth year, and if he falls short of the (unreasonably?) high expectations he is likely to be a #2 behind the next stud that Kelly et al. recruit.
Folks need to come to grips with the fact that Kenjon might be done for the year, or at least through some very tough road games at USC and Cal (best case scenario?). We need the explosiveness that Lache and Dontae might bring. Alston is muy muy macho - but (forbid!!) if LMJ is dinged does this offense really fire with him as "the man" in the backfield?
We finally have balanced threats at WR with HUFFster doing his thing and Maehl finding his golden hands after a couple rough games…how long has it been since we could say that? Keep him out there!!
The O-line is here, now. The stars are aligned. Go get it. What are you waiting for? Put the best players on the field. If that excludes Lache and Dontae, I retract this comment!!!! After all, I have not seen either play…i guess we trust the coaches and get back to our own (much less fun) jobs.
abducktion, SoCal
Add Andy and Texas Duck to the list of sane fans in favor of burning a redshirt.
Burn it Chip!!
PS: The blackout is a dud. A Halloween novelty perhaps, but a total misfire for TV audiences. And not a school color, is this the Raider nation?
Rob Moseley
Folks: I realize I've been gone for a few days and things could change, but based on watching practices up until the Washington State game, neither freshman running back looks ready to help the team much right now. Granted, their performance in practice is reliant on a lot of other guys, but neither has been the sensation LaMichael James was a couple years ago. If I had to bestow that upon anybody, it would probably be Eric Dungy so far.
SacDuck, Sacramento
So, This week instead of offering a score prediction I am going to go with an individual prognostication and my player I pick to have a HUGE game is Mr. LaMichael James: 260 yds. rushing, 70 yds. from passes, no fumbles, 3 rushing TDs, 1 pass TD, ALL before sitting out the fourth quarter. This will vault him into No. 1 in the running for the Heisman.
Hate to be an individual type of guy but I thought this would make it more interesting for us blog-responders. (Maybe I am just grumbling cause I didn't get on a Fantasy league this year!)
Do any of y'all have any "big game" calls for this week (offense or defense)?All in fun,
Yell OOOOOOOO! Go Ducks!
While year to year teams look to reload.
Harris is a great example of having the ability to REARM in a game or in a season with great talent. Depth is key and Harris has done a great job for the Ducks and the University and fans. Depth on this team is critical and in my book it is 1A 1B 1C as no matter how you stack it ALL the DUCKS ARE NUMBER ONE and I am not talking about BCS or POLLS I am talking about a number ONE TEAM, and I hope at the end of each day that is spelled the Number WON TEAM. GO DUCKS. -
Just Ducky, Feelin Groovy- 59th St. Bridge
Mike et al give it a rest. The Ducks are the number one team in the country by all three major polls. Does that suggest that the coaches don't know what they are doing or that YOU know better? This great team didn't just materialize out of thin air. It arose from a plan and it proceeds from a plan. The fact that Duck fans are not privy to the plan doesn't mean it isn't brilliant and involving the right players at the right time.
So until one of you coaches a team to number one status I suggest you push away from that keyboard, bite your nails until Thursday and then see just how CK and the rest of the boys do.
All of this armchair coaching was bad enough at the start of the season, but where the Ducks are now it is absolutely ridiculous.
Judy Patsch, Rock Island Illinois
GoDucks808: that was a great line! I'm typing with my index finger, but I've got a 'proud' story to share too: I wore my tie-dye shirt to the nursing home where I call bingo twice a week. They love it anyway, but today before I started the game, I asked the residents to raise a hand, then keep just one finger raised, and I had them yell: We're Number One! This they did and I'm afraid it may have awakened napping residents down the hall. But I didn't have to explain it to them - several had seen the polls in the newspaper this morning and they knew I'd be in a good mood. So Ducks, you can add St. Anthony's Nursing Home in RI to your broadening fan base! And I may have to buy a few tie dyes next trip to Eugene for bingo prizes…
(As I type this, I'm replaying the Game Day Show… amazing what has happened in just two weeks!) -
woodduck, bend,or
For the scenario Curtis Interuptis puts forward..'If the Ducks win they go to the National Championship Game… beavers to Rose??'
The new agreement dictates that the rose bowl would HAVE to choose a non-AQ that had automatically qualified.
So Boise St. Maybe TCU or UTAH state."For the games of January 2011 through 2014, the first year the Rose Bowl loses a team to the NCG and a team from the non-AQ group is an automatic qualifier, that non-AQ team will play in the Rose Bowl.""
So once again while the non AQs complain about being left out of the big bowls, they will be invited while a 2nd pac 10 team gets shafted and sits at home in January. (See CAL 2004 10-1,ranked #4; Oregon 2005, 10-1 ranked # 5; ASU 2007 10-2, ranked # 11)
Non AQ teams have been in bcs bowls 6 times. The pac 10 has got a second bid twice. (2003 USC went to Orange, WSU to Rose; and 2001 UW to Rose; OSU to Fiesta.
The cry of Non AQs of 'We never get to play in the big bowls' does not stand up to close inspection
Duckdude, Euphoria
Remene will utilize his opportunity for increased playing time, and show the Bruins what a huge mistake they made in not recruiting him by going for 180 against them. They'll be keying on LMJ and Remene will surprise. Also, don't forget: in UO's spread offense, the QB is a running threat, too. Throw Huff, Paulson, and the wideouts into the mix, and…....we've got more than enough firepower for UCLA to deal with. If our "D" plays all game like they do in most 2nd halfs, I think we win easily by at least two touchdowns.
Driedout Webbing, Nogales, AZ
Before Thursday's night game don't forget to practice making the "O" with your index finger extended straight up for #1. (And, no, not that finger).
For Nick Aliotti - the more logical reason Harris hasn't been listed as a starter is the same reason occuring many times over the past years. A certain DC has his head up his…...
graveyardshiftduck, SLC
20 of us are going in all black, I've heard a lot more are as well. Most students are not able to afford new shirts at the drop of a suggestion, so there is going to be a huge amount of black.
If the fashion police don't like it, too bad I say.
akduck, alaska
Add me to the growing chorus that says we are nuts for not putting Lache or Dontae into the first ranks. Unless there is a real question of physical maturity, I see no point to holding these boys out. I don't see Barner playing again until the civil war, and I do not see our healthy backups as a realistic option to give LaMike the mid-game breaks he will need to stay healthy.
Allowallotti, PDS
#4 A lot of supposedly smarter than everyone else guys who were paid greatly, blew up our financial system so not all of us think that just because one is paid well they are always right.
Ruby d, Top of the Mountain
James will rush for 288 & 4 TD's…in the first half!
Just Ducky, said "Mike et al give it a rest."
Kind of like saying take your seat and shut up…Oh brother…
If any fan wishes to display curiosity or discuss possible strategies regarding replacing KB in the offense and on special teams, who are you to question such Just Ducky? We're not discussing state secrets. if you don't like it click the forward button. Or better yet the shutdown button.
Mike, Texas Duck, Andy and Abduction and others have all hit on something. There is indeed an "ugly duckling" in the room (I dislike that cliche but it makes the point) which we have avoided discussing for a week, in deference to KB.
Oregon has moved from #11 to #1, over the span of six games. Barner has been an integral part of those performances.
So the question is now, how does Oregon move forward without KB, at the very least for one game, but likely much longer? Whom has been prepared to try to fill-in or replace KB?
See my post #27 in the next blog thread.

I keep getting this vibe whenever I hear the coaches talk about Harris in practice. It's like they don't want to call him out publicly, but they're not totally happy with his attitude. He is still a teenager…
guys the fact of the matter is that those kids are backups right now - and not explosive enough to demand being put on the field. if its not obvious that they should play to help us win aka harris - they sit and redshirt. we have too many guys to get the football too to worry about the 4th and 5th string true freshman running backs getting carries. BTW—is brandon williams making it back for this game? he deserves about 5 footballs a game with that size. when we go away from LMJ we got lots of weapons including DT on the keep. we are fine.
ResilientDuck, Portland
A nursing home in Illinois full of Duck fans ... that might be the funniest and at the same time greatest thing I've ever heard! Instead of BINGO you should play DUCKS.
davep, pdx
I am always amazed at the critics of Aliotti….Do you really think the coaching staff would hold Cliff back if they didnt think they needed too…Oh, but Im sure the Aliotti haters are smater than the entire defensive coaching staff….Its my bet that the redshirting of the running backs is with the understanding that they will most likely be starters next year when LMJ goes pro….What else will LMJ have to accomplish in college????? Bet he is gone…
Sooth, etc.;
Rich Brooks, Mike Bellotti, and Chip Kelly built the Ducks program into arguably the best program in the nation (see the 3 major polls).
What do they all 3 have in common?
They each picked Nick Aliotti to be their Defensive Coordinator!
If you, or any of the others hiding behind cute fictitious names, think you know more about coaching college football at Oregon than Brooks, Bellotti, AND Kelly - than you really are deluded.
abducktion, SoCal
davep: I hear you - i sense there is something under the surface with Harris that we are not privy to - he is too much of a playmaker to not be "starting"...although he may be on the field for nearly as many snaps as a "starter" - anybody got a feel for that? And hey, maybe he is more effective off the bench?
I respectfully disagree w/ regard to LMJ going pro after this year - he is a STUD and muuuuuuy fuerte, but i think he could use a little more beef to absorb the Ray Lewis type punishment that gets doled out on Sundays…but maybe that's my wishful thinking…
Silver: here's to ya' - We're just talking ball here Just Ducky, part of enjoying this team is pondering the options…and boy there are lots of 'em…though it does sound like the young 'uns aren't ready to fledge…
Is it Thursday yet?
Oregonfan_03, Ogden, Ut
John Lund just moved from Salt Lake to Portland following a recent divorce if I understand correctly. He was a host on my favorite local morning show, "The John and Hans show" and it's not really the same without him. He usually makes great points, provides decent insight, and is able to do so objectively. Usually, that is. I'd be interested in what his take is concerning the Ducks, if you've heard him discuss the topic. Thanks.
Oregonfan_03, Ogden, Ut
Agreed. And to call it deluded is putting it very, very mildly. Great point.
A 11-1 Duck team either goes to the Rose Bowl, Feista bowl or the Alamo Bowl. OSU is out of it as their defense just isn't strong enough. Be more concerned about Arizona
Cliff Harris will start when he is a complete DB and not just a cover corner.
The coaches say "Cliff plays starter's minutes", well…it would make sense to have a portion of those minutes played at the starting gun.
It makes zero sense to have one of the nation's best playmakers/gamechangers sitting on the bench at the start of games. What if the Wisconsin kick returner was sitting on the bench instead of running the opening kickoff back for a TD? The entire game very well could hinge on that play.
Coaches are stubborn and loyal. It's OK to change…really. Play Cliff's minutes when they matter most. If you only want him in for a certain # of plays or certain down-and-distance, fine, but have him in at the start of both halves. I don't get it.
This guy is one of the most dynamic players in the country. He easily could be the difference in a win down the stretch.
Little Deek, Davis
Porter- great call! At a minimum give me a shout out for Dark Star! Go Ducks, whip the Bruins.
ResilientDuck, Portland
You can catch him at 95.5thegame.com from noon till 3; they also have podcasts. He's only been back on the air in Portland for a couple weeks. Not sure what his take on the Ducks is. Today, I was rather bewildered to hear him talking much more about Riley going for two than the Ducks' #1 ranking and NC hopes. He has a good personality, but I think the show would be stronger if he had a sidekick to go back and forth with. I don't think he's especially savvy in terms of analysis, and he even makes fun of himself for not having an athletic bone in his body. So really, to this point anyway, I guess I listen because I like his self-effacing nature and interview skills, not for his ability (or lack thereof) to provide insight.
Kim, Eugene
Hey everyone,
I have one question. Since when did the Ducks Team change from being a team-oriented team to an individual team? If you think about it long enough, I bet the light bulb will come on and you'll understand where the coaches stand. I for one thought UO Football was all about being team-oriented, focused and playing as a team, team chemistry which means everyone is involved as a team and not just an individual which leads to getting recognition as a team not just one or two individual. Remember, Cliff is able to show off his talent because the other ten guys have his back. That sounds like team play to me. I am thinking that cliff hasn't displayed this on a consistent basis to the coaches and that is why he is a situational player for now and not a starter. You all talk about us being just a game or play away from losing it all, well if one guy is going around saying me, me, me and this game is all about me, then there is your one game that sinks the ship!!!
Andy, Eugene
I also think that LMJ will be back next year. That said, I would not be suprised to see him go. He is projected as a second round pick right now and he has half a season to improve on that. The fact that he is going to see more touches will only help his draft stock with the durability questions that are sure to come because of his size.
I doubt I am the only one who wishes I would have put a few bucks down on the Ducks to win the NC at the start of the season. If I remember right I think they were at 50-1 odds(I may be wrong). -
davep, pdx
Biggreenunit….coaches are not loyal in my experience..10 years as a player…....they cant be and still be winners…when Cliff is their best bet, he will start…
honestduck, Long Beach
Rob-Love the article. I felt the exact same way. I decided rather than be nervous and worry about what if's and how many good teams we have yet to face, I thought, I'll enjoy it now. Can't wait to watch them on the national stage Thursday. Keep working Ducks!
Sweet Q and A on Rivals with Chip Kelly:
Terrysheldon, Eugene
Hey SOOTH. Did you hear Alliotti? He was talking directly to YOU. Ha ha. Read it again and insert your name right after his comments.
The level of arrogance among some Duck fans is jaw-dropping astounding ...
Niles, PDX
Sooth…..did you read the entire article?
MetalElvis, Eugene
Please tell me I am not the only one whom thought of Dan Hawkins' rant when Aliotti said "...this is not an intramural program."
Go play intramurals, brother!
Dan Schulte, nopo
BAll control spells voctory. No fumbles or interceptions means national title. A few means the Ducks have a great chance. 4 or 5 in a game means our hopes go out the window. Hold onto the ball. Freshman running backs fumble alot. Red shirt years are the right thing to do. Go Ducks.

Comments about Kreg Precision Router Table Fence Stop :
My previous review said this stop did not fit Kreg's Benchtop Router Table. Called Kreg and they sent a new set of knobs for the fence that eliminate the problem for FREE. Excellent customer service.
Does not fit Kreg benchtop router tables
I really like the flip stop, but it is difficult to use on Kreg's benchtop router table. It fits the T-slot fine, but it cannot slide past the knobs that lock the fence to the table. The knobs must be removed to slide the stop past. The stop cannot be used at all directly in front of these knobs. Not sure if it is a design flaw in the flip-stop or the fence on my small router table. I am disappointed that Kreg cannot make this stop work on all their tables and vise-versa. I expected better from Kreg. I found a workaround though; I added a riser (about 9/16 inch) to the fench lock knobs and the flip stop will now pass underneath the large knobs.
Must have with a Kreg Fence!

it works, thats all that it needs to do. If you have a Kreg fence, its very much worth having.
I agree, it's a must have tool.
By Don
from Raleigh< NC
It would be a great accessory to use on any fence in theshop but, It is made for a Kreg fence and must be modified ever so slightly for other fences.
Functional but lacking
By Greg
from Illinois
About Me
The stops tend to tip laterally on the fence when tightening, which makes them more difficult to set. A little more engineering (and material) would make them easier to use.

Gran Tierra Energy Tests 3,095 Barrels Of Oil Per Day With Peru Horizontal Well
Initiating Engineering Study to Implement Long Term Test and Bring New Oil to Market
CALGARY, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Gran Tierra Energy Inc. ("Gran Tierra Energy") (NYSE MKT: GTE, TSX: GTE), a company focused on oil exploration and production in South America, today provided updates for its exploration drilling in Peru.
"Gran Tierra Energy has successfully completed testing of the sidetrack on the Bretaña Norte 95-2-1XD exploration well in Peru, with results supporting the significant potential production additions expected from the Bretaña field," said Dana Coffield, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gran Tierra Energy. "After joining Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper during last week's trade envoy to Peru and Colombia, I am further encouraged by Gran Tierra Energy's commitment to the vast potential in Peru. This discovery has material contingent resource potential, and is expected to provide significant growth for the company and assist Perupetro in achieving its objectives to bring new oil to the market on behalf of the Government of Peru," concluded Coffield.
Block 95 (100% working interest and operator) Gran Tierra Energy completed initial testing of the Vivian Formation sandstone reservoir in the horizontal sidetrack of the Bretaña Norte 95-2-1XD exploration well. Log interpretation of the 1,595 foot sidetrack indicates the presence of an oil-bearing sandstone reservoir in the Vivian Formation beginning at 10,735 feet measured depth (" MD") to 12,262 feet MD, with a total net pay in the lateral section of 1,283 feet with an average porosity of 22.8%. A production test was conducted over the 1,595 foot horizontal length of the sidetrack penetrating approximately 25 vertical feet of the top of the Vivian Formation in the Bretaña structure. A final rate of approximately 1,699 barrels of oil per day (" BOPD") was produced on natural flow with 0% water cut, through a 32/64 inch choke. The choke size was then increased to a 64/64 inch and the oil flow increased to approximately 3,095 BOPD on natural flow with 0% water cut. Wellhead flowing pressure was increasing during the first test indicating the formation was cleaning up. Cumulative production for both testing periods was approximately 3,552 barrels of oil and testing was concluded when available storage capacity had been achieved. Detailed analysis of the test results is currently under way. The long-term test is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2014, subject to facilities upgrade, and execution of crude oil transportation and delivery agreements, at an estimated rate between 2,500 and 3,000 BOPD. Gran Tierra Energy is planning a front-end engineering and design study to assist in the expected development of the Bretaña field. Test crude is expected to be sold to the Iquitos refinery during the initial test period, one of several crude monetization options under evaluation for Bretaña.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I've had a request from a 2 year old disabled girl who would like to play Flash games designed for children with disabilities. The problem is that these games are designed to use input fed through to the space and enter keys, but her accessibility hardware can't do this, it sends a mouse click instead. Is there any way on a Mac to map the space bar to a mouse click? I've had a look in the keyboard and mouse settings but there doesn't appear to be anything in there, I'm no Mac expert though. If it is not possible within the OS, is it possible via third party software? I know of several PC applications that can do this (eg. Error 404 - Page Not Found, but can't find any for the Mac. Please let me know if you can help so we can put a smile back on her face! |

The University of St. Thomas basketball programs and the African American Student Union completed its first annual Thanksgiving Food Drive on Nov. 21. The groups teamed up to provide approximately 172 meals to the Houston Food Bank. "With this being our first food drive, we weren't really sure what to expect," said Women's Basketball Head Coach Mike Ricks. "We're thrilled that we were able to contribute to a great cause and a great organization. Now that we have one under our belt, we will set the bar even higher next Thanksgiving." The weeklong drive began at the men's and women's basketball games against Red River Athletic Conference opponent Jarvis Christian College on Nov. 12. Canned goods and other donations were provided by UST students, faculty, staff and game attendees. All proceeds were donated to the Food Bank. ---

Are our engineering labs stifled by proprietary software?
The lack of employability of our engineering graduates has been a pet peeve of the IT industry. Its discourse, however — often limited to soft skills and communication — has not emphasised enough on the technical quality of engineers.
Experts point out that seven out of 10 engineering graduates can barely write their own code. Why is it that four years of technological training does not breed the kind of innovation that comes out of the IITs (Indian Institute of Technology) or the IISc. (Indian Institute of Science)? Universities, that have for long harped on industry-academia partnerships, have failed to find an answer. While industry-academia partnerships have brought with it a focus on jobs, and have given colleges a perspective on what the offshoring-heavy industry wants, fostering innovation has not been atop its priority list.
At a panel discussion on including Free Software in the engineering curriculum, held at the convention on "Free Software in Research and Training", academics and researchers reflected on what ails the system. While the debate focussed on the Visvesvaraya Technological University, the largest technical varsity in the State, panellists also partook in a discussion on how Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) can play an important role in helping cross this barrier. The convention was organised by the Free Software Movement of Karnataka, in collaboration with REVA Engineering College.
The VTU's engineering syllabus — like most State universities — has practical lab work dominated by proprietary software, a lot of them outdated. The course mandates and recommends the use of several proprietary tools: be it incorporating a case study in Oracle in the Data Base Management Studies subject paper, or forcing students to learn .NET or Visual Basic, or narrowing the Operating Systems subjects to studying the general structure of MSDOS and Windows 2000.
Prabodh C.P., faculty at PES College of Engineering, points out that proprietary tools have stifled most engineering labs. "The syllabus must only mention the technology, not the tools. Most institutions still use obsolete compilers such as Turbo C, built for 16 bit machines, instead of GCC, a Free and technically superior compiler."
Affiliate colleges, some of which have wanted to opt for FOSS labs to save money (here the "free beer" part becomes important, as opposed to "free speech", to quote the famous Richard Stallman metaphor), are unable to. Even the All India Council for Technical Education recently inked an MoU with proprietary firms Microsoft and AutoDesk for free licences of their tools, a deal that was heavily criticised by Free Software activists. VTU too had inked a similar deal with Microsoft in 2009.
But why is it important that GNU/Linux ware be part of engineering labs? It's obvious, says K. Gopinath, IISc. professor and ardent FOSS advocate. "Our research labs use no proprietary tools. Because without access to code, there's no learning." Free software — that offers the freedom to run, copy, study, change and improve — is critical here.
As C.R. Venugopal, Chairman, Board of Studies for Electronics, VTU, puts it, with proprietary software, you're just operating one layer above the operating system. "They know the functions (open, run or close a file), but not how the system makes this happen," he says, adding that in the U.S., courses emphasise on the systems side. Engineers today are closer to technicians, believes Prof. Gopinath. Courses have their minds set on jobs, not learning. . "If you're simply operating the tools given, you're not an engineer." An engineer must tinker; only FOSS tools allow students to play with code, understand it and then build on his (or her) own, he emphasises.

Daylight (Track by Track) - February 21, 2015
Daylight (Track by Track)
1. Every Little Thing - is about moving on mentally and spiritually from where I was... And being okay with it. "It's okay to walk on through, to see the transformation of you" I was writing this song when I found out my mom was in the emergency room hospital, in Upstate NY. I could hear her voice in my mind saying every little thing going to be alright... At the same time I was so afraid she was going to die 1000 miles away from me. "Earth is shaking sky is falling I can hear my momma calling."
2. Little King of Everything - my wife is king of the castle… or queen… In other words… She rules my heart. (happily so) I liked the sound of Little King better. I love the way she looks in the morning as she sleeps while the sun is coming up… shining through our windows. "Come on sleepy head, come on back to bed.. let the morning sun shine on and on" ~ This is a not so simple love song with a killer guitar by Mitchell Connell.
3. Dogtown - This was the state of my heart. Nothing to do with skateboarders in CA. "The changing of the seasons in this Dogtown…" My heart was turning cold. Wah wah guitars & acoustic rhythms. I dreamt this melody and had Onel learn it on his saxophone, I had Meredith sing it on vocals and Mitchell play it on guitar… It was a perfect trio of sweetness. This became the songs "bridge solo" - stuck in my head in a beautiful way. It is the warmth on a cold day.
4. Set Our Sail - is about how me and her are gonna make it through anything. And how God's grace is always there, even if the church community abandons you and judges you. And how ultimately, I bought the lie that God abandoned me in my darkest hour. He didn't.
5. Find Joy (Whatever The Day Brings) ~ I thought I was writing about someone else when I realized it was about myself. And how after I left the church over 5 years ago… my small community shattered. Friends became distant, I became paranoid, stayed home, focused on my family… years of self-doubt and self-hatred slowly turned into acceptance and forgiveness. I found out, I don't need a community of 500 people that say they will be there for you… when the shit hits the fan… most of them won't be there. The ones who REALLY matter, are the ones living under your roof. THAT is your community. Anything else is a bonus of love and true friendship.
6. Same Way Twice - I loved this line "Things Never Happen The Same Way Twice" so I built a song around it. Charlie Haley came up with the reoccurring guitar riff. I added fuzz upon fuzz to it… to make it sound like a 60's glam jam or some lost Patti Smith jig. Mitchell Connell plays a killer solo with more fuzz. One can't have too much fuzz. I love me some rock and roll fuzz.
7. Ragamuffin Song - it's about the physical and mental abuse I suffered while living with my father. And how I had carried this deep hatred for myself which caused me to do things I've regretted throughout the years. I'm not blaming him for my own choices in life… but it' part of my history. I'd rather write a song than pay for therapy. I'd rather use that money to pay my rent.
8. Daylight - a song about transformation and redemption.
9. Slide - an experiment that turned into a song. That feeling of utter loneliness whether you're in the sunlight or moonlight… as if nothing can comfort you. "All you want to do is slide right down… the arms of love… the arms of love" Like you're trying to hide yourself in God but feel like you're a million miles away from whatever that is.
10. Goodnight, Goodnight - is a lullaby. Plain and simple. It's my way of filling up your head with a sweet melody.

BlackBerry Z30 Holsters For Sale on eBay
Was surfing around ebay and I stumbled upon the Z30 holster up for sale.
Genuine Rim Blackberry A Series Z30 Black Swivel Holster Case Acc 57199 001 | eBay
Genuine Blackberry Z30 Leather Swivel Holster Case Cover Black Acc 57199 001 | eBay
Whether they are genuine or not, there is no way to confirm it. But with the accessories already up for sale, the phone should be released soon. -
Hmm, wonder whether or not they're legit.
Remember that BBRY has not actually even announced the Z30...
I've been curious what OEM cases would release for the Z30, but I always there'd be the swivel holster so this isn't exactly a revelation.
Of course if they're real, the exciting part is that Z30 isn't too far behind these hopefully!Saving the world, one OS at a time...

this is exciting as it means the OEM peeps already have the final dimensions of the Z30 so they can start to manufacture cases and such.... im totally getting a Z30 to replace my old 9860
This could be good news or this could be false news, one never knows coming from an ebay point of view
A friend of mine (works for one of the big brands, Thou-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named) told me the story once how they have to compete on their home turf with cheap Chinese accessories made secretly in the same factory they have contracted to make their own, official, branded accessories so it's really impossible to tell - as a matter of fact those are, by all means and purposes, original accessories, even they couldn't tell the difference... the only thing you will lack is the receipt from the brand store but if you buy one from an authorized reseller and 3 more knockoffs you can keep exchanging them while the original's warranty lasts because there's literally no difference.

Halloween Photos du Jour: Finally!
After getting off to late start I am pleased to announce that 97 Russell Street is getting down to some serious Halloween business! What's more I got to meet the woman behind some of this madness (she was waiting for her husband to arrive with a lift so they could hoist a ghost onto their tree) and get the 411 as to what is going on.
Apparently the reason they got off to a late start this year (the left-hand side of the yard was still incomplete as of today) was because she went on a trip to Egypt (!) and her hubby didn't where she had stashed all the Halloween goodness!
Once the aerosol foam insulation dries on this bad boy he'll be brandishing a meat cleaver! YAY!
This cute little witch holds court with her retinue of ghosts above the front door…
right next to this rather nasty looking fella.
Scaryass clown? Check.
Wraith and an organ? Check.
These skulls on a pike come from Long Island!
I can hardly wait to see what this looks like once they fire up the smoke machine. (YES, they're going to have one!)
Last week I learned from their neighbors over on Humboldt that there is some long-standing friendly competition between brains behind the Humboldt Hurler and the folks at 97 Russell. As a matter of fact, their properties abut each other —enabling them to keep careful track of each others progress. It's all in good fun though. The incredibly kind woman at 97 Russell told me today with a hint of pride that their house and 648 Humboldt were featured in the New York Daily News last year. This came to pass because her daughter happens to be a reporter for this publication.
Now that's what I call an inside scoop!

A Very Special Greenpoint Moment
Ever had one of those moments when you see something and think to yourself:
Gee, I bet there is an interesting story behind this.
Only to realize that in order to achieve true understanding would probably entail taking large quantities of psychotropic drugs? I had one of those moments this afternoon on Monitor Street.
Well, what do we have here?
But of course— It's the Anti Imbedded Mossad Partymobile! Silly me.
Looks like the rear suspension could use a little work.
Shine on you crazy diamond, you! SHINE. ON.

When the opportunity affords itself I like to engage in a little urban archeology. What some might consider an unsightly pile of garbage is an anthropological goldmine to me. In fact, I have a pet theory; one can tell a lot about a neighborhood (and the people who live in it) by the garbage left in its bicycle baskets. I have decided to keep a visual record of my findings via a little blog I have erected on Tumblr entitled Shit In Bicycle Baskets. Enjoy!

Disconnected: The Verizon Rant
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
A couple weeks ago I had lunch with a fellow Greenpointer. At one point we talked blog shop. Here was my take on New York Shitty:
I started it because I needed to blow off steam. Then people started reading it. I never knew there were so many people who would find my fucked up fascinations so interesting. Go figure.
In the clarity of hindsight I realize I do not exclusively chronicle my magnificent obsessions on this blog. It serves also as a diary of sorts. On that note earlier today I wrote:
Have you ever been told that your Internet service cannot be restored until a fucking bar opens— and then was assured that this kind of thing is "pretty common in Greenpoint"? I have. On October 28, 2008 at 11:30 a.m. to be exact. When this iron-curtain-customer-service-meets-Preston-Sturges-comedy-of-errors morality tale is over you can be good and damned sure I am going to write about it. And oh, what I story I have to tell!
That time has come, kids. Before I proceed I'd like to state there are a number of morals to this story. Here are a couple:
- If you are making reference to a "bar down the street" in Greenpoint be very specific because…
- the Garden Spot has a shitload of bars. Too many, if you ask me —but I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
As I awoke Saturday morning Mr. Heather quietly whispered to me:
Our Internet is down. I have contacted Verizon.
I suspect the Mister broke the news in this manner because he feared if told me such a thing when I was in a total state of consciousness I would flip out— and he was probably correct. You see, Verizon has this nasty habit of disconnecting our service (be it telephone and/or Internet) when they endeavor to hook up someone else's phone line. This has happened four or five times. This phenomenon is one (of the many reasons) I dread the occupation of the Viridian by fresh-faced condo-goers. One man's 130 unit luxury complex replete with concierge, gazing pool and virtual golf is another woman's 130 potential disconnections by Verizon. But I digress.
Once I came to and grabbed a cup of coffee I shuffled into the living and asked:
So when is it supposed to be back up?
Mr. Heather: Monday.
Me (hardly surprised but nonetheless irked): Great.
Over the weekend I managed to rattle off a few posts via the Mister's Blackberry in preparation for Monday: the day our service was ostensibly going to be restored. I thought I was well-rested and ready. I wasn't.
Monday, October 20, 2008 at 11:15 a.m. the phone rings:
It's Verizon.
Miss Heather: Cool, I'll be right down.
I let the repairman into our apartment and show him our set-up. He asks:
Is your phone working?
Mind you, this gentleman just dialed our land line less than a minute ago — and I answered said call. I thought to myself:
This is not a good sign.
Me: Yes, our phone line is working. We have no Internet. See the dsl router? It hooks up to this thing over here. The line is dead.
He went out to the pole and poked around. After about 15 minutes he returned.:
I have to wait until the bar down the street opens. The box I need to access is located behind it.
He said and assured me this was not at all unusual in Greenpoint. Puzzled but finding this entirely plausible (because the neighborhood I call home sports quite a number of drinking establishments) I asked for some clarification:
Which bar, (bar #1) or (bar #2)?
After some discussion we established it was bar #2. Then we both concluded there was no way he could access this property until it opened. The nice thing about living in a neighborhood riven with alcoholism is the bars tend to open early. I smugly thought to myself:
This should be resolved by 4:00 p.m. or so.
and went about doing some much-needed housecleaning to while away the time.
ASIDE: My husband always promises to help with the tidying up the house. He does not do this out of the kindness of his own heart. Rather, he knows if I do it I will get very, very angry. At him. Yesterday was no exception. After finding a dirty spoon tucked away under some books (why God, why?) and slamming my foot against a skillet he somehow saw fit to place on the kitchen floor I encountered the straw that broke the my camel's back: a cache of mustard packets buried under a pile of papers in the living room.
Just last week— standing right in front of this hitherto unknown cache of condiment goodness— the Mister threw a tantrum about the local Chinese restaurant trying to charge him 25 cents for mustard. This was his rationale for refusing to buy his dinner from said establishment. Thinking this was one of the stupidest things I have ever heard in my life (because it is) I said:
Why didn't just buy the fucking meal? We have, like, at least twenty of those fucking packets lying around here.
Obviously I was correct. And now I was getting pissed.
At 3:30 p.m. the Mister called:
Mr. Heather: How are you doing?
Me: You don't want to ask that question right now.
Mr. Heather: Speakeasy says the Internet should be restored by 4:00 o'clock.
Me: Cool. I'm going to run.
4:00 p.m. comes and goes. The Mister calls again.
Me: Yeah.
Mr. Heather: Is the Internet back up yet?
I replied "Of course not" and hung up. I was growing tired of housework. I was also growing tired of waiting for this bar to open so I decided that "happy hour" at Chez Shitty was going to kick off a tad early. You know what they say:
It's always 5:00 o'clock somewhere.
So I hit the local wine store. AS I was returning home I had an epiphany:
I bet it was the OTHER fucking bar. SHIT.
I run home only two encounter two chaps claiming to be from Con Edison wanting access to our building. Knowing full well who they really are, I refuse. I make a beeline to my apartment and grab my cell phone so I can call my husband and tell him about my hunch. In the meantime the Con Ed con artists are hitting all the buzzers repeatedly in the hopes someone will let them in. I am getting rattled. After three tries I finally dialed the Mister's number correctly.
Then there was a knock at my door. Hoping it was Verizon I hung up and opened it. Only to discover someone let these miscreants in our building:
What did I say to you a few minutes ago?!? NO THANKS!
I shit you not this pig fucker laughed as he walked away. Now I was getting super-pissed… and my cell phone rang.
Mr. Heather: I noticed you called. What's going on?
Me: That IMBECILE got his information wrong. He meant bar #1. I could have given him access to that fucking pole via the back of our fucking apartment building and our fucking Internet would have been restored HOURS AGO…
Mr. Heather: I don't understand.
Losing patience, I took a deep breath and started to explain the curious case of transposed bars. Then there was another knock at the door. I open it. It was ANOTHER fucking dude from IDT claiming to be a Con Ed employee.
Me (in a low, even tone to Mr. Heather): hold on a minute.
Me (shouting at IDT employee):
Mr. Heather: What was that about?
Me: (sputtering very loud, VERY ANGRY profanity-laden incoherent gibberish).
Mr. Heather: I'm in the middle of a meeting right now. Can we talk about this later?
Me: FINE.
Long story made short my Internet access was not restored yesterday despite both bars in question being open as of 5:00 p.m. The Mister (very wisely I will add) decided to work late because he wanted to give me time to "cool off". Eventually I did. Today at 9:00 a.m. a different Verizon employee arrived. He hit our buzzer and I let him in. In a much-needed instance of dumb luck it happened to the man who installed our Internet line. He knew exactly what to do, did it and profusely apologized for the bullshit I experienced yesterday.
Thank you Mr. Diaz. You are a fucking hero. And oh yeah:
Those of us who live between Green and Freeman Street and get our telephone/Internet service from Verizon need those bars open as early as possible! Preferably at 9:00 or 10:00 a.m.— chop, chop! And for future reference to anyone who happens to live in the above-mentioned area: that fucking relay box is located behind the Mark Bar, not "The Murder Bar" (better known to arrivistes as "Tommy's Tavern").

Help, Hope and Healing
In a crisis pregnancy, many women simply need real help, honest answers and practical solutions in order to choose life for their babies. At APRC, we understand the physical, emotional and spiritual complexities of an unplanned pregnancy, as well as the devastating consequences of abortion. We also realize that a woman will not care how much we know until she knows how much we care.
Our MissionOur mission is to share the truth and compassion for Jesus Christ, support-life-affirming choices and promote healthy relationships by serving and caring for women and families in pregnancy-related circumstances.
