It was a real challenge looking for replacement hinges with the exact measurements and screw-hole placement as my old hinges.
While these hinges cost more than I wanted to pay, I'm so very glad I bought them. They are of excellent quality, good weight and are very good looking. Thanks for a GREAT product!

Rich Rodriguez Monday Presser Notes 11-22-10
Notes from Rich Rodriguez's Monday meeting with the press.
Injuries and Actual News
Multiple guys had headaches, their status is unknown until he talks to the doctors. Not sure about Stonum - he'll try to run around a bit the next couple days [but is in a boot].Gallon's shoulder will have to progress.
"Mike [Martin] should be OK. He'll be a little limited probably, he and Jonas [Mouton] both." Martin is the most dominant defensive player when he's healthy. "When we've got a healthy Mike Martin in there, it's different for us... He's one of those guys that can stand up to anybody." He gets treatment every morning, but he still won't be 100% this game - maybe by the bowl game.
Special teams have been pretty good outside of the inability to make a field goal. Drew Dileo and Fitz Toussaint will do more returning with the injuries to other guys. Fitz was on returns for the first time all year against Wisconsin because they were running out of capable bodies. "I think he's still getting back into the groove. There's so much time, it's like starting all over again. I think you'll more likely see him more often this weekend."
Kickers - "Seth had a great week of practice then he missed the one... Brendan kicked the extra points, but they were low, so we're lucky they weren't blocked." Nothing looks wrong with Seth's form, so it may be mental.
"Hopefully Vincent's OK." He's been the #1 RB, but Stephen Hopkins, Fitz Toussaint, and Mike Shaw should be good to practice all this week.
"It's looking that way" for a medical redshirt for Devin Gardner. Muscular issue in his lower back, probably won't require surgery.
Wisconsin accusations: "Playing dirty? That's funny." Must have been looking for something controversial.
Rodriguez has played during Thanksgiving week in the past. "The routine really pretty much stays the same." Most teams are still playing this week.
Personnel and Team
Denard - "For a first-year starter, he's had a pretty remarkable year." Hasn't looked as young as his age a lot of the time. Very committed to improving his game, understanding everything better. Not worried about postseason awards "I don't think we have to trumpet anything." On top of the numbers, Denard's taken a bigger leadership role, he loves his teammates. "He's got the type of personality that you wanna be around."
Scrutiny in the media might have changed with bowl eligibility, but the attitude inside the program is no different. "We've kinda had to take a tunnel-vision type of approach as a staff, and as a team, and as a program." The focus can't change because of outside perception. Sometimes stuff is falsely reported - and being a coach is like being a politician in that way.
"I didn't get this job at Michigan by getting a lottery ticket that said 'congratulations, you're the coach at Michigan.'" There's more to building a program than what's written in the media. Some circumstances may come up altering timeframe, for better or worse. "Close in some areas, but still a ways away in others." Rodriguez is still positive that they'll get to where they want to be - he sees the progress. "It's sooner rather than later, but it's not overnight."
The program has come a long way offensively since last these teams played, not as much progress on D. "A lot of the other thing that I've seen that's maybe not shown on the field as much, I think has come a long way."
The perception that teams with spread offenses have poor defenses is incorrect. Northwestern won a Big Ten title with the spread, Florida and Oklahoma won national titles running a spread. West Virginia had top-10 defenses when Rich was there. "It was probably doubts because people just wanna doubt. There's a faction of them that love being negative." Way too much is made about running schemes. The execution, players, etc. are more important.
Have to continue doing some things well, and improve the areas in which they haven't done well. "It's a game that's easy emotionally to get your guys focused for." Need to worry about execution. "Defensively, we've gotta make some stops, it's as simple as that." You can make some steps during the season, but the D won't improve exponentially in, say 4 weeks.
The defense isn't just one thing, there have been different issues each year. "There's no question that it needs to get fixed." Getting healthy, recruiting, development, putting them in position to succeed. "We've gotta look at everything, just like we would on offense." Team will naturally improve next year with experience, it's just a matter of maximizing that improvement.
"I've seen us play outstanding football in all three phases at times." Been more consistent on offense, and if the defense grows up and a few things bounce their way, it's a winnable game. Last year, they played well defensively but the offense turned it over too many times. "The situation was right us to maybe sneak one out there." but they missed opportunities to make plays.
Jordan Kovacs has been one of the D's most solid players. Kevin Koger has been splitting time with Webb at TE. Those two will be some of the team's greatest leaders next year.
The offense has stayed healthier, the defense has been ravaged by injuries. The freshmen who are playing would normally be redshirted.
Ohio State
"First off, it means a lot because it's Michigan-Ohio State." Means a lot to the seniors. "This would be something for them to remember quite fondly." Ohio State may have at stake from a conference championship standpoint, but the game is important on its own merits either way. "We do a few special things different for Ohio State week."
Great for fans, seniors, coaches, families. "I don't think about the end result right now, winning or losing. Right now, I want my players, and my coaches, and myself, we're thinking about the process." Want to focus on what they need to do to achieve the end result, not the result itself.
"I don't think about point spreads. When I came to Michigan I thought about winning championships."
Slow starts in past few games haven't been the same cause, sometimes a turnover, bogged down in the redzone, etc. "I'll study all of that after the season and see if there's something that will help our guys get out of the gate faster."
Pryor - improved understanding of the offense, runs when he has to. "He's a great athlete, I think there's no question he's the leader of that offensive unit, and he's made a lot of big plays for them."
The Ohio State OL is good, tailback position is talented, Dane Sanzenbacher is one of the best WRs in the country. Best corner pair in the league, LBs as good as anybody - and they gave Michigan lots of trouble last year, especially Brian Rolle.
OL - "We didn't play as well up front last week on the edges as we have been." JJ Watt's talent had something to do with the struggles, and the guys know they'll have another challenge this week with Cameron Heyward and John Simon.
Ohio Stadium is a challenge, but the quality of the team is daunting itself. "As far as intensity level and all that, it will be unparalleled." History, intensity, make this the greatest rivalry in sports. "It's hard to match the intensity of this one." Playing at OSU will be loud, as Penn State was. Communication issues come with offensive guys, so the youth on defense hopefully won't be too affected by the road atmosphere. Last time at OSU, saw some stuff, old ladies giving the bird, but that wasn't anything new. "Playing with Pitt, we saw whole families of them."
"We're not practicing and going down there with the intention of 'let's just show up and see what happens.' We're going down there to battle our tails off and try to get the win."
"We don't talk about the past and what's happened last year, 3 years ago, 5 years ago, but you want to be able to have it on your resume that you beat Ohio State if you played at Michigan." Greatest rivalry in college sports "for us, we've gotta perform better and get some wins to make us feel better, make our fans feel better."
Even if you fall behind, the team should have enough confidence that they can make a comeback. "It certainly will help the atmosphere so to speak if we can at least get off to a better start offensively."
Might the coaches take more chances on offense or special teams to cover for the weak defense? "If I did think that, would it make any sense to tell you? Probably not. We'll probably punt on third down."
JT Floyd's Ankle: Probably Not So Good
out of date
HAI GUYS I BET YOU LIKE GOOD NEWS. Troy Woolfolk's twitter:
Things just got worse for Michigan fans. Can't elaborate that's all I'm saying.
UMGoBlog's got a rumor that this is in reference to JT Floyd's ankle, supposedly in a nonfunctional state after practice today. Tom got an independently sourced email saying the same thing. Player on team saying bad news + two different sources with identical stories about what that bad news is == 99% true e-rumor.
So JT Floyd is probably done for the year. One of three freshman will start opposite James Rogers. I'm working my way through the Penn State game tape and am not sure how much this actually hurts but it's not good. Your available non-freshman cornerback on the roster is James Rogers. That is all.
UPDATE: Woolfolk is hurriedly backtracking, which may be CYA but may not. Downgrade your likelihood somewhat here. I probably wouldn't have posted this without that third bit but the two standing are melding with other stuff around the internets and this is still likely to be true.
UPDATE II: So the "out for year" bit seems unknown. Definitely out for Saturday, though.
PSU Injury Report, Position Switchapalooza

No surprises, and no Denard:

Woolfolk, Troy Ankle
/press release
More interestingly, Rodriguez dropped some science about position switches on his coaches show that is either earth-shaking or wildly misinterpreted by the internet. These are the supposed moves via the somewhat confused twitter feed of Angelique Chengelis:
- Marvin Robinson to linebacker. I have a source who tipped me off about this a few days ago, so that's for real. Robinson's likely to compete at WLB for the job Mouton vacates after the year.
- Will Campbell(OG) and Quinton Washington(DT) are sticking at their new positions. Since these moves had already been confirmed, that's legit, too. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but there's some insider hype about Washington being a "beast" on Rivals. So we've got that going for us. Not likely to impact anything until next year unless Washington is a miraculously fast learner.
- Cam Gordon to "both safety spots" and Ray Vinopal to "deep safety". Since Vinopal is already a free safety this position switch is more a depth chart thing. There have been rumors floating around about Vinopal playing with the ones and either starting (fanciful) or getting real playing time (apparently likely) on Saturday. These are confirmed now; the source also dropped that Vinopal was getting a serious look at deep safety. The Cam Gordon bit there presages a move closer to the LOS, whether it's spur or bandit, eventually. (ATTENTION BYRON MOORE: duuuude. Seriously.)
- They "moved defensive linemen." Vague but the only thing that makes sense here is putting Sagesse back inside at NT and moving Patterson to a backup DE position.
Also, Rodriguez promised more carries for ham fiend Stephen Hopkins and said Teric Jones(!) would see the field. I looked for podcasts on WTKA's site but couldn't find them; maybe MVictors will be able to dig out exactly what was said so we can parse that into molecules. He's clutch like that.
QB Bolden "very doubtful" for Michigan, Paterno says
Also, Crawford is "likely" to miss the game.
Unverified Voracity Slowed By Prayer, Hats
The heat melts their brains. Miami fans are trolls:
You've got me there, Jim Martz.
(Via Jerry Hinnen.)
Further adventures in Remember When Smoking Was Cool And Pregnancy Drankin' jes' fine. Les Miles has done all manner of disqualifying things since the Kirk Herbstreit Miles Hiring Fiasco, before which I was highly in favor of Miles as Michigan's coach and after which I was very upset at Bill Martin. He derped the Ole Miss game and lied about it afterwards. He cut some kid who'd been on campus for a month. Whatever the hell that was at the end of the Tennessee game happened.
Miles is now in the radioactive bin of hypothetical Michigan coaching candidates next to Ron English, Mike DeBord, and Stan Parrish. I'd rather have Brady Hoke around. And yet somehow this is the worst thing he's done since that fateful day on a sailboat:
I'd rather see Simon Cowell as head coach around here.
Quarterback ding monitor. So you may have noticed that three Penn State quarterbacks wandered around the field asking for direction/pudding from the coaches in their win over Minnesota. This is because starter Robert Bolden left the game with "a cut hand" or "a cut hand and an eye poke" or "concussion-like symptoms" or, you know, a concussion. JoePa thought Bolden was questionable at best for next week; JayPa thought he was fine. JayPa's probably right since someone asked Joe about Kevin Newsome and he said "who?" I wouldn't put much stock in this "McGloin might start" headline from the Post-Gazette since it's generic walk-on fluff and the only mention of the injury is this:
Bolden was expected to undergo a series of medical tests Sunday, but Penn State spokesman Jeff Nelson said Bolden's status would not be updated until today at the earliest. If Bolden is unable to play Saturday night at home against Michigan on ESPN, McGloin could get his first career start.
I'm guessing Bolden starts.
Meanwhile at Purdue things just keep getting worse. Third-stringer Rob Henry acquired a "crushed index finger" against Ohio State and Boiled Sports believes that means true freshman Sean Robinson will end up starting when Purdue takes on Illinois next week.
Penn State confidence monitor. They didn't lose against Minnesota but they did get outgained by 70 yards and cough up 400 yards of offense to a team headed for 1-11, so reviews are negative:
-- Penn State made Gopher running back DeLeon Eskridge look like Barry Sanders out there. The Lions missed so many tackles I thought they must have brought the wrong shoes. … -- Lion defense just has no playmakers. … -- In fact, until the fourth quarter, Penn State had precious little success running the ball against a defense ranked 102nd in the nation against the run. Unimaginable, really. … -- Minnesota's 75-yard TD drive to start the second half was so easy I thought I was watching the New Orleans Saints shred the Penn State defense. Very, very scary, folks.
This was a win, but no one was impressed. The line swung from M +2.5 to M –3 based on it, though it's gotten bet back down some since.
It's not that timeout, it's that you still had it. Back to the hat: many people are pointing at Kirk Ferentz going "Les Miles!" in the same manner you would scream "witch!" during a good hysterical mass hallucination after Iowa biffed its clock management good in their 31-30 loss to Wisconsin. Cue defense from Ferentz:
"We wanted to burn the timeout and just go from there," Ferentz said. "I guess we could have gone the other way. Might have saved us two seconds, something like that. I don't think that was exactly the turning point in the game."
Cue Hat reference:
Les Miles might agree.
Iowa fans probably won't.
Ferentz is right—taking the timeout there is not a major factor. But he's not off the hook because he made the most frustrating error coaches make these days now that they don't punt from the opponent's 34 (HINT, NORTHWESTERN): he didn't immediately start calling timeouts when Wisconsin made it first and goal. If Iowa has 40 seconds instead of 12 when the spike/timeout decision is made it's not nearly as big a deal. Always, always get rid of your timeouts on defense if given the opportunity—you will never save more time by holding them.
No, still a punk. In the weeks before the season Ohio State teammate Tyler Moeller said Terrelle Pryor was "kind of a punk" by way of explaining that he was no longer the kind of guy who puts "VICK 3:16" on his eyeblack or talks about how everybody steals from people, murders from people, whatever. Pryor should ban the word "everybody" from his vocabulary:
"Not to take anything away from Wisconsin at all – I really don't want it to come off like this – but they weren't better than us," he said. "Everybody knows that if we play nine out of 10 times, we'd beat Wisconsin."
Pryor stats: 14/28, 156 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 56 yards rushing on 18 carries. Final score: Wisconsin by 13. I'm sure Michigan would have been better off the last few years with Pryor behind center but right now I'm happy Michigan missed on an unlikeable guy who's not living up to his athletic potential.
The unabated stupidity. Richard Billingsley's computer rankings are even more off the chain than usual this week:
His ballot does not disappoint this week, ranking TCU at No. 1 (three spots higher than any other computer poll) and Missouri at No. 10 -- the Tigers' lowest spot in any computer poll by seven and two places below the less Mizzou-friendly humans. …
In fact, the rule that causes the high and low scores for each team to be thrown out might as well be called the Billingsley Rule -- counting ties, Billingsley ranks 17 of the 25 teams higher or lower than any other computer in the BCS, including being the only one to rank Virginia Tech at all.
At least the discard rule does effectively neuter Billingsley's poll. His poll is maybe 20% as impactful as the other four.
Etc.: You think we have problems? Boston College fired a good coach, hired a career assistant in his sixties named Spaz, is 0-4 in the ACC, and has scheduled Vanilla Ice to participate in something called "Ice Jam." Boston College has problems. EBay watch hits up 1976.
Unverified Voracity Pulls Out The Durr Sharks
Too busy to read the message board? Watch it. So this happened. It is a NSFW postmodern message board conversation verbalized by xtranormal:
Listen to the British woman.
Lord of the flies. An injury update from Penn State has more bad news for the Nittany Lions:
"Latimore, I'd be doubtful if we get anything out of Eric the rest of the year, although he may be ready for a game or two. Crawford has not done anything yet. ... I doubt if he'd be ready this week. Crawford might be ready next week."
That would be Eric Latimore and Jack Crawford, the nominal starting defensive ends. Latimore will be out for Michigan, with Crawford either on the bench or gamely giving it a go. Sean Stanley's status is still up in the air after it was revealed his violation of team rules was a marijuana arrest. He's practicing with the team and I'd be shocked if a simple possession charge would keep Stanley out four games. He's already missed two. Unless there's something else going on he'll probably start in Latimore's place, with either Crawford or unimpressive journeyman Kevion Latham on the other side of the line.
If Michigan held Iowa's DEs in check, the rag-tag PSU DEs shouldn't be a problem. Michigan will have a test against Still and Ogbu on the interior.
Penn State has a bunch of walking wounded they hope to get back for Minnesota; we'll see how many do.
And now a random dumb thing a Penn State blogger said. Take it away, Some Guy At BSD:
I hope that Denard Robinson gets healthy during Michigan's bye week and starts at QB in Happy Valley Halloween weekend. Choir boy / line-dancer Tate Forcier may provide more visual fodder for the blog, but I think he's a bigger threat at QB than Robinson. Denard Robinson can run all over weak competition, but in the Big Ten, where every defense is designed to stop the run, a competent passer like Tate Forcier is actually more deadly.
This is not factually wrong so it's not Fiutakin' it, but good God. This is the worst bit about turning it over seven times in two weeks while racking up 900 yards of total offense against the #28 and #13 defenses in the country:
"It doesn't work in the Big Ten" cannot die soon enough.
This is a disturbing indictment of nothing in particular. Will Campbell is going to get a look at guard:
"He may be better-suited to play guard," Rodriguez said.
No decision had been made, but Rodriguez said he'd convene with his coaches tonight to discuss possible position changes. …
"He's not playing much on defense," Rodriguez said. "I don't know if it's possibly to switch and learn a position that quickly, but we'll probably talk about him tomorrow. He's got a good attitude. He's working hard and is willing to do whatever's best for the team."
What does it mean? It means that ESPN was right to be skeptical of Campbell, who has a ridiculous physical package but doesn't play football very well. It was apparent to me the first time he got on the field against Iowa and immediately got gashed; freshman or not the passivity and inability to get under anyone's pads was alarming. This would be no big deal if Michigan had gotten either or both of Pearlie Graves and DeQuinta Jones a couple years ago, but since they whiffed on both the depth chart at DT is thin enough that one guy not working out leaves you a big hole after Martin.
It does not mean that Bruce Tall is an idiot who can't coach—Mike Martin and Ryan Van Bergen say STFU, please. Also Brandon Graham.
Not their fault, except for that one guy. The BCS computers come in for another round of bashing, this one in the New York Times. At least this time there are quotes from the guys who run the things complaining about the What About The Children decision to remove margin of victory from the metrics. That is a major source of computer rankings DERP. And this is a delightfully blunt assessment of Richard Billingsley:
"I'm not a mathematician," Billingsley said. "I'm not even a highly educated man, to tell you the truth. I don't even have a degree. I have a high school education. I never had calculus. I don't even remember much about algebra. I think everyone questions everything I do. Why is he doing that? Does he know what he's doing, a crazy kook in Oklahoma?"
The short answer is no. Billingsley's ranking system is vilified by professional mathematicians and a subculture of amateur computer rankers.
I'm not either but I've already got my vilification in. Any attention Billingsley's inane system gets that might get it booted is welcome. I mean: "It is a simple formula, he said, because he is a simple man." This guy isn't fit to decide what to eat for breakfast, let alone who should be playing in the national title game.
Just a love machine. The MZone highlights a program from 1978 featuring the sex machine that is Mike Gittleson:
You have to admire that dedication to facial hair: 32 years without even thinking about a change. Also, yes, that Jack Harbaugh.
Hail Zoltan! Zoltan just launched the punt of the year, nay the punt of the decade:
During the Patriots OT struggle with the Ravens last Sunday, punter Zoltan Mesko may have made the punt of the year. Facing a 4th and 6 from their own 16, Mekso was called in try to bail out the Patriots.
Typically, punts from that region of the field net about 39 yards, putting the Ravens at their own 45, and it looked like the Ravens were going to win the field position battle. From there, it only takes one or two first downs to move into striking distance for a game winning FG attempt. When Mesko trotted onto the field, the Patriots' win probability (WP) was 0.33.
Mesko's punt went for 65 yards, aided by wind and by poor fielding by the Ravens returner. When the ball came to rest on the Baltimore 19 yard line, the Patriots had gained the upper hand with a 0.54 WP. The punt was worth +0.21 Win Probability Added (WPA), an impact extremely rare for a punt that neither results in a long return nor a fumble.
Hagerup did something similar—though it wasn't in such a high-leverage situation—when he bombed one past the Iowa returner midway through Saturday's game.
Really? Iowa guy who looks at a lot of film says this:
A couple of times Iowa made good audibles and a couple of others they missed their chance to hit Michigan where it hurt. It definitely seemed the crowd noise was a factor late in this one and it made it hard to change calls at the line. I would guess they'll make some tweaks to their audible calls this week, especially on their scripted series calls.
That would be something close to unprecedented. Woo luxury boxes?
Etc.: Entertaining WSJ piece on alumni cheerleaders focuses on Michigan's homecoming festivities. Hey let's fire Turner Gill already! (Note: it took all of two months for Gill to go from a molder of men to a "Victorian-era" fuddy duddy what with his rules against ladies and cell phones. Rich Rodriguez should start a support group.) Twelve pictures to sum up TRY FIGHT WIN. One of these five men will be Minnesota's next coach. (HT: Eleven Warriors.)

Lovely camping spot. Bathroom facilities lacking, i.e not enough bathrooms, freezing cold showers
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Beautiful setting with clean and comfy rooms. The restaurant has good food and a nice view of the lake. Only problem was just staying one night.

Great place to stay, getting there can be an issues if the road is wet, but once you are there, absolutely glorious. Beatiful setting and jumping into the lake is great. Facilities are some of the best around. Hot showers, clean and amazing views. Recommended.

beautiful! Camp toilets and showers not great but location unbeatable.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I would recommend this place to self-drives and it seems (as the name would suggest) that it is a big part of the overland truck scene. For independent travellers the Crater Lake place right next door is far better and offers a kitchen for use to keep the costs down.
My biggest complaint would be the amount of time it takes to get anything from the restaurant. There is Africa time but there is also waiting 45 minutes for some hot water. I wouldnt mind so much but for some of the time I was the only guest and outnumbered 20-1 by staff. If I got my meals in less than an hour I would have added an extra star but as this seems rather chronic they need to do something about it. 16,000Ush for camping is also scandalous.

Gorillas (Farting) in the Mist...
I'm so excited to talk about gorillas but I guess I should start at the beginning!
So Sunday night after I last wrote Jess had a really rough night. Nick ended up flying out and arrived late Monday night. Jess was discharged Tuesday (having given up on the insurance company and just paying the bill herself!) and Nick very kindly put me up …
Free day!
First free day on trip. Slept until 0930 and spent morning handwashing and relaxing. Damp day and pretty chilly so no hope of drying!! Lunch with group then hired a dugout canoe - basically a tree trunk - for a paddle on the lake, which is apparently 6,000 ft deep. Very difficult to canoe in straight line but we got the hang of it eventually. …
Driving day
Breakfast and departed 0800. Drove in truck until lunchtime with a brief stop in Mbarara to get fuel and change some money. Stopped on side of road in mountains for lunch - surreal as locals came to stare while we ate. Gave them food we had left - fruit etc - and the kids left it and ran away. Very mountainous and windy on drive - could see where …
Lake retreat
We left the Bwindi NP and drove for about 5 hours to reach Lake Bunyoni. The drive was very scenic. The lake is beautiful and the lodge has a lovely setting on the lake shore. The lake is 27 kms long with many finger bays and hillsides and islands both forested and some terraced with tea plantations.
The lodge was a welcome relief after …
Meeting the Queen
The lovely red Ugandan dust always presented us with fun times in the truck. Particularly with temperatures creeping up and the need for African air conditioning, i.e. open windows. You never really noticed how much floated in until the end of the day when you went to retrieve your sleeping gear from the back of the truck only to find it had gone ' …

"Everything I Didn't Even Know I Wanted"
While I have not experienced the print version of this book, I was beyond impressed with Amy McFadden's reading. She gave the characters voices so distinct that at times, it sounded as though more than one person were reading.
I think Chubs and Vida are my favorite characters. They provide counterweights and levity to some of what goes on.
Being a fan of comic books, I was drawn to this book because it sounded very much like something I would find in one of the monthlies I read. It was that and more. Alexandra Bracken does an excellent job at defining her characters. So much to the point that when they make a leap to something that might seem otherwise illogical, it makes perfect sense based on what she had established for that character.
There is nothing about this book I don't like-slash-love. I've already consumed both this and Never Fade and I'm eagerly awaiting the follow up.
"Greatness with an Asterisk"
The Good. Selena Kitt is genius. I have yet to be disappointed by anything of hers I've read. I was an instant fan since that first taste of her writing, and this proves to be no exception. I'd previously read this work and wanted to experience the hands-free version. Which brings me to...
The Not as Good. Taylor Quinn has a delivery style that doesn't hit my ears favorably. She always sounds like she is one the verge of laughter. Then there are times when she speeds through the reading. Usually on the sexy parts. It was jarring at first, but after additional listenngs, I was able to accept it.
In the End. The reading delivery doesn't detract from there overall story. The stuff on the page is the part that is ultimately going to stick out in your mind I would definitely buy this at full price.
"Sugar & Spice and Everything Naughty"
Selena Kitt, once again, does not fail to bring the sexy. Each one of these stories is hot enough to melt your ears, yet well written written enough to make you want to stand at a podium and read it to your fellows.
E.V. Grove does a good job at speaking the words into existence. While I would prefer a less clinical delivery, I can listen to the woman over and over.
All in all, this is one of a hand full of purchases I would gladly have purchased at full price.
"Laugh Out Loud Sexy..."
Vocal goddess Lucy Malone was a major draw for me to this work, but Melinda DuChamp's ability to tell a story was a close second. Her ability to simultaneously speak to my inner adolescent humor and my adult libido is a trick of magic.
I can't think of anything this side of Cinemax After Dark that can compare with this book...except for something else written by Melinda DuChamp.
Chastity in the hotel room. Yes, please.
There were several moments where I was compelled to laugh out loud. I did not fight the urge to do so.
It was funny, sexy, smart and hot. The author doesn't overuse any of the devices used to tell the story. The balance of humor and heat keep the story new from the first page to the last. Lucy Malone takes time to give each character a unique voice. Thought is put into each syllable.
Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience I can't wait to relive.
"Funny and Hot"
This is a story I'd listen to over and over. The combination of Melinda DuChamp's words and Lucy Malone's voice make it an irresistible draw.
I loved the smooth infusion of humor that made me laugh aloud, while not pulling me out of the moment.
...and, as always, any excuse to hear anything read by Lucy Malone is a treat.
"Yes, A Thousand Times, Yes!"
I would definitely listen to this again because all of the essential elements came together for me in this book. The narration was great, the stories collected were varied enough that nothing felt recycled, and it was hot as hell.
There was no one thing that I could highlight about this book that outshone something else. Everything was working the way it was supposed to work. One of the most complete offerings in the history of ever.
Lucy Malone's performance in this book is as solid as anything else she has ever done.
So hot it'll make your eyeballs sweat!
"Well, That Happened"
Lucy Malone was, by far, the best thing about this audiobook. There were two, maybe three plots recycled throughout the entire book. Little effort seems to have gone into fleshing anything out other than the writing of people having sex. If that's what you're looking for, then this offering has it in spades.
It would have been more enjoyable for me if more effort were put into developing plotlines. I also would not have minded if the characters in each of the stories weren't carbon copies of the people in the story before and the story after.
Lucy Malone, is Lucy Malone. Her voice is heavy, sensual and just what you would want for almost any erotic reading. Her reading this is the only reason I made this purchase.
On the one hand...no. On the other hand, the narrator's performance was on point.
"Absolutely Delectable"
I'm on my third listen and it's still an interesting listen as it was the first time. There's something appealing about a married couple rediscovering one another and finding new ground within their marriage.
The scenes with Charlie, Jack and Lloyd all together.
It'll make you want to lick the pages.
Amber Beard's voice works well with Selena Kitt's words. Her voice has a certain weight to it that lends itself well to erotic readings. I love the inflections she adds. You actually feel like you're listening to something sexy.
"A Well Worth Visiting Over & Over"
Yes. Please. More.
Amber Beard delivers in this reading. Her voice drips sex and at those times where emphasis is wanted, she raises her performance, adding a sigh here or a slight moan there, to emphasize the heat falling off the pages in this work.
I have listened to this one at least four times. I try to do it all in one sitting, but I end up having to stop and walk away from it.
Selena Kitt never fails to deliver the heat. It's rude, it's dirty and so well written one dip in her pool is not going to be enough.

But if the price dropped, it would no longer be profitable to truck ice from far away - surely the cost of gas wasn't magically dropping to keep pace with the ice business, was it? - so the flow of ice would stop and then everyone would be right back where they started, wouldn't they? Seems like an extremely short-sighted and temporary solution. What am I missing here?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Last Chance Saloon was a popular name of a type of bar in the United States that began to appear in the 19th century as an early expression of border economics. Saloons situated near areas where alcohol was not easily obtainable frequently took the name as a literal indication to customers that this was their final opportunity to imbibe before progressing to an area where obtaining, selling or drinking alcoholic drinks was prohibited. The phrase "last chance saloon" also has common British metaphorical use, based upon this historical context.
While the term refers to actual places that existed, it does not refer to a singular place. Many saloons on the border of dry areas incorporated the phrase "last chance" into their name. Of the many saloons so named, two have found particular notoriety, to the extent that they may be sometimes be referred to today with a definite article, as in "The Last Chance Saloon".
The first is one in Caldwell, Kansas. Dating from 1869, it was the last place travellers could legally buy liquor before moving into Indian territory, where alcohol was banned. It gained prominence during an incident in 1874, when a posse from Caldwell burned down the building, after erroneously believing that the objects of their search were inside. Because of this fire, it does not exist today, but the building's site is currently marked by the State of Kansas as a place of historical interest.[1]
The second is the "Heinold's First and Last Chance" in Oakland, California. It was opened in 1883. Located on the docks of Oakland, it would have been the last chance for drinkers to imbibe before falling under the jurisdiction of their boat's captain. While it wasn't a legally dry area, a boat could often be practically dry. Even if a captain chose to allow alcohol, it would have been relatively scarce and usually tightly regulated—if the boat's hold had space for it at all. Thus, Heinold's saloon served precisely the same practical function as the Caldwell example. It was made arguably more famous because noted American author Jack London was an irregular patron. When in Oakland, London drank there often, gleaning insight from the tales of world-traveling sailors.[2] Not only is the saloon commemorated by name in London's works, it is recognized by the California State historical marker program, the National Literary Landmark scheme, and the National Register of Historical Places. Nevertheless, it continues as a working business, maintained privately for the benefit of locals and tourists.
Technically, both of these businesses were also signed as "First Chance" saloons, as the proprietors wanted to market their business for travellers, irrespective of their customers' direction of travel.[3]
The name persists in the naming of modern bars, though it is not always associated with the original meaning. Bars nowhere close to a dry county are sometimes named "Last Chance Saloon" as an homage to the earlier establishments. There are (First and) Last Chance Saloons in the phone books of almost every American state.[4]
In everyday speech, by British speakers of English, the term has been adopted to describe a situation beyond which hope or good fortune will greatly diminish.
"This is the last chance saloon. If we again fail to improve the performance of our schools I believe it is time to look at the reintroduction of selection at the age of 13, to reintroduce grammar schools which were the great escape route for the working class in post-war Britain."
—David Frost of the British Chambers of Commerce, [5]
"At least, that's the way it had been until Monty arrived, although I have to admit we all thought: Here we go again. We've heard it all before. But he and everybody else knew very well that this had to be the last stand. We were definitely in the Last Chance Saloon."
—Quote from World War 2 diary extract., [6]
Because of its infrequent use in relation to alcohol or bars, "last chance saloon" is usually employed as a paralogical metaphor.
The expression often lends itself to newspaper headlines, as it describes a complex situation in a relatively scant number of letters. Home Office minister David Mellor in a December 1989 television interview asserted: "I do believe the press - the popular press - is drinking in the Last Chance Saloon".[7] The ethics of the British press were then being scrutinized by the Calcutt Committee and the phrase caught on.[7] In another example, John Major's 1995 attempt to stave off critics by calling for a Conservative Party leadership election was famously headlined in The Independent as "John Major's Last Chance Saloon"[8]—but there are many others.[9]
A subset of the general use for the term is its use among British automotive journalists. Because saloon has a uniquely British automotive meaning, applying the phrase "last chance saloon" to a story about cars is to use a pun. Thus, it is common to see the phrase applied to the automotive industry. For example, the launch of the Rover 75 was humorously described by the then BMW owners as "Rover's Last Chance Saloon", and Cerberus' 2007 acquisition of Chrysler has been called that car manufacturer's "last chance saloon".[10]
The phrase has a specialized use in British sport. In youth sport, it specifically defines a qualifying round of competition—the "Last Chance Saloon Round" — comprising students from schools who don't have a mechanism in place to determine a winner at the local level.[11] Because a Last Chance Saloon Round does not connote anything substandard about a participants' skills, but merely the way in which their school participates in regional tournaments, this usage is slightly different from how it is used in Britain to describe professional sport. Sports commentators and fans will often use the phrase in conjunction with professional or Olympic athletics to speak of a waning team or player's last opportunity to make good on their talents.[12][13]

More distance - plain and simple - on average, 17 yards longer. How does the RocketBallz fairway accomplish this? For starters, a Speed Pocket in the sole boosts ball speed dramatically, while Thick-Thin Crown design creates lower Center of Gravity (CG) to promote a higher launch and more distance. The clubhead is exceptionally large for a fairway, with a deep face and high-MOI (Moment of Inertia) head for easy launch. The lightweight shaft and grip promote faster swing speed and the white crown and black face makes alignment easy and eliminates glare on top of the clubhead.
"The technology in our new RocketBallz fairway woods boosts clubface COR to a place we haven't come close to before, promoting an immense increase in distance. It's an absolute breakthrough." -Dr. Benoit Vincent, TaylorMade Chief Technical Officer

The Rocketballz fairway was fantastic when I first used it. When I hit the ball I did not think that I had hit the ball. But I did for about 280 yards. It's a beautiful club.

Andes — The Andes Society of Culture and Arts is pleased to have the East Branch Delaware River Plein Air Painters (EBDRPAP) exhibit their paintings of the Catskill Mountains environs at the Hunting Tavern this summer. The opening reception will be held at the tavern on Saturday, May 25 from 3 to 5 p.m.
By Joe Moskowitz Two more years. Andes Supervisor Marty Donnelly hopes to remain in office for at least that long. The Catskill Mountain News recently reported that Donnelly had undergone a procedure for carotid stenosis. Donnelly was suffering from a 93-percent blockage to one of the arteries that supplies blood to his brain.
Andes — The Andes Democratic Party will hold a gathering on Sunday, June 2, from 4 to 6 p.m., at the home of Dorothy Lyman at the intersection of Gladstone Hollow and Gambichler roads in the Town of Andes.
The event is open to anyone who is interested in the future of the town, and those who are interested in running for town office, as Democrats or on independent lines, are especially welcome.
Andes Central School has announced its Valedictorian and Salutatorian for the Class of 2013. Tristin Tait, the daughter of Dale and Judi Tait of Andes, has been named Valedictorian.
Tristin will be attending SUNY Oneonta in the fall and majoring in biology. While in high school, Tristin has participated in the Drama Club, Travel Club, Outdoor Club, SADD, and chorus. She has been a member of the National Honor Society and Student Council.
Kelsey Little, the daughter of Tom and Susie Little of DeLancey, has been named Salutatorian.
Andes — The Andes United Methodist Church had its beginnings in 1812, when local resident Israel Chapman hosted "Methodist Society" meetings in his home. In those days, many societies gathered throughout the area, in people's homes, for prayer and Bible study. These groups had no regular clergy, although there were "circuit riders" who traveled throughout Delaware and adjoining counties, to lead services. There were no organized churches, but these society meetings became the foundation for establishment of future churches in the circuits.
By John Bernhardt One of the highlights of 2011 Andes Central School Travel Club's adventure in southern California was a visit to the home of Jodie and Jason Womack.
The Womacks, a husband and wife team, operate The Jason Womack Company. Jason, an author, motivational speaker and productivity expert, provides workplace performance workshops and executive coaching for clients around the world.
By John Bernhardt Like most things at Andes Central School, the track program depends on a team-like approach to schooling. Everybody pitches in. For the smallest school in Section IV, being small is a success criteria rather than a liability, more about making the best of what you have rather than focusing on what you don't.
By Joe Moskowitz The wait for the long-awaited Andes Health Clinic is going to be a little longer. Workers this week are putting the final touches on both the interior and exterior of the 2,800-square-foot facility.
By Geoff Samuels The Andes Town Board has tabled a resolution to join the Sheriffs' Association and numerous other entities in opposing the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (NY SAFE).
After hearing from several members of the public at last Tuesday's meeting, the town board agreed to delay any vote on the measure, pending modifications to the proposed resolution.
Andes — On Thursday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m., on the popular Cooking Channel show, "Hook, Line & Dinner" hosted by Ben Sargent, for culinary and fishing enthusiasts, watch the process of catching, smoking and cooking local Catskill Mountain eel with two of Delaware County's own.

First Defiance Financial Corp. CEO Discusses Q4 2010 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Beyond our normal business activities during the year, the company successfully converted its core operating systems in the fourth quarter with no significant service interruptions with client impact. The core conversion project consumed significant resources in both capital and staff terms. The reach of this project was extensive, and it took many months to unfold. I am proud of the conversion team and their efforts as they consistently placed client needs first and work to mitigate any negative effects.
From an overall performance viewpoint, net income was flat with the linked quarter but was up significantly over fourth quarter of 2009. Full-year results for 2010 were also up over 2009 results. Net interest margin performance throughout the year, increased mortgage production in the second half of 2010 as well as improved performance in both our wealth management and insurance business, all helped to offset the credit related expenses and the costs related to the core conversion.
Asset quality performance in the fourth quarter was again considerably weaker than our historic standards. Our provision expense in the fourth quarter 2010 was down significantly from the 2009 fourth quarter, the total provision for 2010 was at the same level as 2009. In light of the continued environment of high unemployment as well as the overall uncertainty of the commercial real estate market, we believe it is prudent to maintain reserves at this level.
This decision drove the provision expense throughout the year, bringing our ratio of allowance of loan loss to total loans up to 2.7%. With a sizeable increase in charge-offs during the fourth quarter as we were more aggressive in writing down collateral values and disposing of OREO. We did have a slight improvement in the fourth quarter over the linked quarter in our level of non-performing assets. We continue to devote significant resources to the monitoring and early recognition of any weaknesses in the portfolio, or we are not seeing new specific home [ph] problems to arise in the portfolio.

A sample revision is the process used to re-design and re-select the samples for many of the Census Bureau's surveys of the retail, wholesale, and service industries. This process is performed to
The current Quarterly Services Survey sample was introduced with the release of estimates for the fourth quarter of 2012 on March 7, 2013.
Sample revisions are performed approximately every 5 to 7 years. During the period for which the samples are used, updates are made on a quarterly basis to reflect changes in the business universe. These updates are designed to account for new businesses (births) and businesses which discontinue operations (deaths). The samples are also updated to reflect mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, splits, and other changes to the business universe.
The size of the current Quarterly Services Survey sample is approximately 19,000 employer firms. The size of the previous Quarterly Services Survey sample was approximately 17,000 employer firms.
In most cases, yes. Whenever possible, estimates from different samples have been put on a comparable basis. For a detailed description of the process used to link the estimates from different samples and for specific information on which industry estimates are not comparable, please refer to http://www.census.gov/services/qss/qsstechdoc.html.
NAICS is scheduled to be reviewed every 5 years for potential revisions, so that the classification system can keep pace with the changing economy. Prior to the March 2013 release for fourth quarter of 2012, Quarterly Services Survey estimates were published on a 2002 NAICS basis. Currently, Quarterly Services Survey estimates are published on a 2007 NAICS basis.
The changes between 2002 NAICS and 2007 NAICS that affect industries within the scope of the Quarterly Services Survey are summarized below.
For a more detailed comparison between the 2002 and 2007 NAICS, please see the NAICS Concordance Tables.

Asking to be able to flash away from a melee range skill is hardly asking a lot.
personaly i think that flashing away isnt really the problem, where i think the skill is totaly broke and unbalanced is that in that short window it is possible to stun/CC him AFTER he has launched the ult...and even you do cancel out his ultimate, it does not come off cooldown so he can simply launch it again. THAT is bs in my eyes and all other skills i know of that are similar are instantly sent on cooldown if you cancel em midway like that. its written that if you kill it refreshes, but i think thats untrue(and the reason why its broken) i beleive the reality is that the skill is made the other way around and has NO COOLDOWN, but has a condition that if it fails to kill: a cooldown starts. In this way if you CC him, the skill was never completed so the script asking: did this ult kill? no? cooldown! never happens. It should be the other way around like lets say Cass' E or master yi's skills, cooldown starts if you get the kill it refreshes meaning if you stun him midway, its still cancelled.
he isn't broken. quit being stomped by him in pubs and learn how to deal with a darius. hint hes hard if you're bad at the game.
Good post OP. I agree. Darius is toxic to the game. Super super low skill cap to play and insure kills. High skill cap to counter play. Yes there are counters...Nid does **** all over Darius (and 99% of other top laners). Teemo does **** all over Darius in lane (and is also really hard to fit into a good team comp). But super hard countering isn't fun...either way it goes. So please...give Darius some utility and raise his skill cap... Take some damage away from Decimate so that it isn't the ultimate "fu(k melee" skill. Make him have to actually harass someone...not just land one decimate and then wait for decimate again and full combo for lolfreekillsIwin. I hate laning against Darius if I don't have a ranged auto attack. Because Darius is the ultimate game ruiner. No melee can get cs against him. So you get zoned out of most your CS for the first part of the game...and play catch up for the rest of it. Stupid stupid stupid... more toxic than Yorick or Renekton ever were.
Tbh, I don't feel like decimate is much of a factor against him. Then again, my champion choices might have something to do with that, rofl.
