Every few years it seems, Godzilla pops up again to do what he's always done. No, not destroy metropolises. Pitch product.
While there is already speculation about whether or not this year's Godzilla reboot will flop badly enough to kill the movie franchise, one thing is for sure, Godzilla will always be back as the spokescreature for something. After all, the big guy has had a far more lurcrative career in advertising than in Hollywood.
Below, a look back at some of Godzilla's greatest hits, and a peek at the product placement in store for the new Godzilla movie.Continue reading...

One consistent frustration of Google Street View is that no amount of cursor clicking will let users see behind the closed doors of the world. Before the end of the year, a number of doors are about to be open.
Several American hotels have made a deal with Google Business Photos to allow online visitors who search for their hotel on Google Search, Google Maps, Google+, and Google Hotel Finder to have a look inside their hotels. Using photographers trained and certified by Google, the images will be similar to Street View and provide 360-degree panoramic views of the interiors of the accomodations.
"It will allow you to virtually experience the hotel in the same way you would if you were there," Dorothy Dowling, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Best Western, told USA Today. "We personally believe that this is going to be a game-changer in the industry in redefining how photos will be consumed by the consumer." Best Western is particularly proud to be the first US chain to have all of its 2,200 locations included in the program.Continue reading...

Millennials worldwide may not be getting jobs, but they're getting more places to stay. Hilton now expects to introduce a new hotel brand in 2014 aimed at young travelers to match a new offering by Marriott and one by Starwood.
The new Hilton brand of boutique, "lifestyle" hotels would emphasize style and design and be aimed at Millennials with enough money to travel for work or pleasure. It would aim to compete with W Hotels, a brand developed by Starwood, and with both Marritt's fledgling Edition hotels as well as the Moxy chain that it is developing for Europe with Ikea, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"It's something we're working on," Christopher Nassetta, Hilton's CEO, told the newspaper. Hilton currently has 10 brands and a wide range of hotels ranging from Hampton Inn to Waldorf Astoria.Continue reading...

Electric Hydraulic Power Tilt And Trim PT-35 - CMC
This item is found in the following Product Families
Compare this unit to panther integral model 25?
Panther is designed for certain 2-stroke Johnson/Evinrude engines only. The PT-35 can accommodate more outboards. For more info give us a call at 1-800-914-1123.
What is the maximum weight motor weight?
It generally will only fit up to 35 horsepower, and certain 4-stroke engines may not fit with this product. You will have to check to see if your unit has clamps and thumb screws. Certain engines will require the PT-130 instead.
So how do I know what motor and what will fit your product. Do you have a chart.?
It really comes down to the horsepower, primarily. Also, if it is a Yamaha 4-stroke or any engine similar to that, it will not fit. We have just been informed by CMC that it will only work with 2-stroke engines that go up to 35 horsepower.
How do I find the trim motor that matches your product.???
If you have an engine that is 35 horsepower or less and is a 2-stroke, this should work for you. If you have anything larger than that, you will want to consider the PT-130. We have this available with or without the gauge, part numbers 13001 or 13002.

|ESPN.com: Baseball
|[Print without images]
Tomasso DeRosa/US Presswire
By Orel Hershiser, ESPNI'm not a big fan of the All-Star Game determining home-field advantage for the World Series. The main idea of the All-Star Game is to celebrate and showcase the game and the stories, not impact who has home-field advantage in the biggest games of the year.
ESPN researcher Mark Simon notes that since 1985 the team with home-field advantage has won 18 of the past 22 World Series -- the exceptions are the 1992 and 1999 Braves, the 2003 Yankees, and the 2006 Tigers. Also, the past eight times the World Series has gone to a Game 7, the home team has won each time. (The last road team to win a Game 7 was the 1979 Pirates.)
Tuesday's game is a perfect example of that.
This year it's all about the final season of Yankee Stadium. It's fitting that Mariano Rivera -- whether it's in a win or a loss -- should be the last pitcher on the mound for the American League. That would be the right thing to do for the fans, Yankee Stadium and the history of the game. However, that may or may not happen, depending on the situation of the game.
This takes me back to the whole premise that this game is meant to showcase the sport and its stars. I look at one NBA All-Star Game as a perfect example of this. After Magic Johnson announced he was HIV positive in 1991, he still took part in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game, hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds and was named the game's MVP. Memories like that make All-Star Games special.
So, if you want to doctor something, change the rules as they pertain to the All-Star Game, but don't let it determine something as important as home-field advantage in the World Series.

By Mark Simon, ESPN ResearchThe starting pitching matchup in Tuesday's All-Star Game provides an advantage for the National League in terms of All-Star experience. Ben Sheets is participating in his fourth All-Star Game. Still, he might be a little nervous, since the first pitch he throws in this All-Star Game will be the first pitch he has ever thrown in Yankee Stadium. The National League has one thing going in its favor: The past three times an Indians pitcher has started the All-Star Game, the NL has won. But Cliff Lee has been solid this season, replacing CC Sabathia as the Indians' ace.
It's the 100th anniversary of baseball's most famous tune, and "Baseball Tonight" asked nine popular musical artists to record a rendition of the song for a battle of the bands. On Sunday, a winner was crowned. The winner is

I grew up in Oberlin, Ohio.
I became a resident of Boston after high school in 1993.
One thing I always say is that Boston is just like my hometown, but it's a city. They're both college towns, with lovely Victorian architecture, parks and trees, cute local businesses, and they are both full of smart, mostly liberal folks from around the world. So I live here because it reminds me of home, but it's more exciting than Ohio.
So, in 2005, I purchased a large Victorian home in a residential neighborhood of Boston, right in the heart of the city. The house has five separate apartments, each one unique and delightful. But one of the best features is outside the home, and that is the yard. The house is on a 14,000 sq. foot lot, which makes the yard one of the biggest you'll find in the heart of the city.
About myself, I am a member of the local food community, and I work within it as well. I enjoy cooking, gardening, dancing, The Simpsons, being a homeowner, sewing, history, sitting around with friends, community activities, and reading non-fiction.
I'm glad this website exists! One more amazing thing that the internet has made available for us.

March's Postcard of the Month
All I could think of was the impending mud season.
Found this photo online - liked the white snowbanks edging the quagmire.
(photo: George Soules, "Mud Season")
Not living on a dirt road these past 22 years, I don't really experience this so much any more...
it's still white (and pink and orange and purple...) and frozen here, as I'm writing -
But I'm looking ahead - and, despite liking crocuses just fine (they'll be here soon!)
and having already done a crocus card last March
(I realize that this year's card is quite similar to last year's card!)
I don't actually like purple all that much.
But I had these beautiful pieces of purple candy-wrapper foils
and that lovely piece of rice paper that were just begging to be used...
So these were the prototypes I came up with:
The first one I was ok with:
but the black on the lower right looked too heavy,
like it had just been stuck on at the end (which it had been...)
And, once again, I had a yen to use some netting, so...
But it lacked subtly.
So, I shifted it to the left and used less of it... (also switched the sheet music to the right here)
But it still needed something dark on the lower right,
and I decided I didn't really like those curls at the top...
This one was close - I dropped those rubber-stamped circles,
and skewed the black lace piece (lower right) horizontally in the final version.
The Fixin's*
The Steps
Here's the movie:
Step 1 - I've had this pale purple paper hanging around for YEARS...
Here's the movie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_5VHNuTCB8
Step 1 - I've had this pale purple paper hanging around for YEARS...
Step 2 - similarly hued tissue paper
Step 3 - such pretty rice paper!
Step 4 - tea bag envelopes again!**
Step 5 - various rice papers, for the next 3 steps
Step 6
Step 7
Step 8
Step 9
Step 10 - MUD! (brown rice paper)
Step 13 - a different black 'lace'
Step 14 - 'snow banks'!
Step 15 - this holey effect looks good when the glue's dried...
Step 16 - oh, yeah; it's messy. :)
Step 17 - Spring's springing!!***
Step 18
Step 19
Step 20
Step 21
Step 22
Step 23
Step 24 - Wouldn't be right if I didn't 'punch' something this month. ;)
Step 25 - Green! Wishful thinking!
Step 26 - I added these 'tire tracks' as the final touch.

*I ended up using black ink - not the pretty purples shown - to print the vertical lines (step 26) -
Addendum I - VISITOR!!
We've had this magnificent Barred Owl visiting for over a week, as of this posting.
Addendum II - Harbingers!

I've got a question about Full Payment Submission in a payroll software.
I've got a question about Full Payment Submission in a payroll software.
For some years we have used QTAC software for payroll, and with great success. We have just received the renewal invoice for next year which is subject to an increase of more than 30%!!
With Real Time Information (RTI) for PAYE going live for 2013-14
Dear All.
Is there any effective payroll software in terms of its price for an accountancy business? At the moment I am using Iris Basic payroll software and HMRC PAYE tools.
We are looking to move to a new payroll provider, after seeing recommendations on here and other websites have narrowed it down to a few, Moneysoft Payroll Manager 100 being one of
I have a client who needs a new payroll system.
Its a large payroll, 1,000+, but not all of the staff are full time and they are spread over a large number of sites.
One of the unheralded victims of HMRC's drive towards Real Time Information (RTI) for the PAYE Online system is the department's software accreditation scheme.

Compatible with All HDMI Sources; Includes HDCP Copyright Protection Support
ORLANDO, FL â MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems, a premier provider of fiber-optic-based video and audio transport solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, is introducing the HDMI-ONE, a low-cost HDMI and DVI fiber link with HDCP copyright protection support, at this yearâs InfoComm (Booth 4629). Designed to extend HDMI and DVI distance limitations, this cost-effective solution is the first to offer users bi-directional communication over ONE fiber for full HDCP copyright and EDID functionality.
DVI signals are supported by the HDMI-ONE with the use of a hybrid cable adapter. When the HDMI-ONE is used to transport DVI signals, the HDCP and EDID information is transported seamlessly from the monitor to the video source despite the use of hybrid adapter cables. The product also allows transmissions of up to 1000 meters over multimode fiber and ensures that the HDCP encoding remains intact and unmodified throughout the entire process.
âHD has already taken over as the standard for broadcast markets and as a result the transport of DVI and HDMI copyright protected material has become more important for the AV, home theater and permanent installation markets,â? says Jim Jachetta, senior vice president of engineering. âWith the HDMI-ONE, users can now send video from a DVD or Blu-ray player to a monitor or display up to 1000 meters away. Reliable HDCP copyright protection support has not been available over a single multimode fiber until now.â?
This new offering targeted at HDMI users is compatible with all HDMI compliant sources and monitors, while continuing to maintain the original electrical HDMI signal. Designed to support all possible horizontal and vertical sync configurations, it also includes built-in security features for secure video and audio communications in command and control facilities. The lack of EMI characteristics also makes the HDMI-ONE ideal for medical instruments and airborne applications.
The HDMI-ONE includes external power supplies and a USB power port. Alternatively, a free USB port can be used from the video source to power the HDMI-ONE transmitter and a USB port on the monitor can power the HDMI-ONE receiver, eliminating the need for two external power supplies.
MultiDyneâs new HDMI and DVI fiber link can be configured for a wide variety of applications including medical and MRI displays, advertising and signage, sporting and concert video displays, video walls, digital cinema, radar displays, air traffic control, military information and displays as well as in the commodity and stock exchanges.
About MultiDyne:
For more than 30 years, MultiDyne has been a leading provider of innovative and outstanding video and fiber-optic-based transport systems for the broadcast, cable, satellite, production, digital cinema, pro A/V, corporate, retail, surveillance, teleconferencing, judicial arraignment, transportation, government and healthcare markets. MultiDyneâs fiber optic transport systems for video, SDI, 3G HD, DVB/ASI, VGA, DVI, HDMI, audio, AES, Ethernet, data, CATV, as well as the companyâs other broadcast accessories are used worldwide by such industry leaders as ABC, CBS, NBC, RAI, BBC and the Department of Transportation.

Ultramarathon Gear
The Gear Behind The Man: The Ultramarathon Champ
"I first got into the sport of ultrarunning seven years ago, but I was a lifelong endurance athlete throughout high school and college, and a couple of years after college, before that," Callahan explains. "Ultrarunning's just kind of been a challenge, you know, from a purely athletic standpoint. And the longer the distance or duration of something, I always excelled more. Where I live, in Gunnison, Colorado, we've got endless miles of trails and jeep roads."
Given his intense background, we thought that Callahan made a fitting subject for our first "Gear Behind the Man" piece. Here's the gear that helps him down mountain miles like a movie junkie downs kernels.
Shoe: Vasque Trail RunnersA shoe is a vital cornerstone for any successful runner, and Callahan covers his feet in the latest from his sponsor, Vasque. While free shoes are certainly a perk, Callahan values his sponsorship with Vasque far beyond schwag. He appreciates that they've stayed the course instead of jumping on the latest five-toed trail slipper trend.
"That's been the coolest thing about Vasque, is they're known to be kind of the conservative brand that isn't really swaying too much. They definitely shaved weight off their shoes, over the past few years, but they didn't really catch onto the craze of the minimalist movement for the sake of doing it. They believe in the footwear they make and the technology behind that. They've just made some really good changes on materials and on some design in order to shave weight."
"It's very comfortable; it's got a 6-millimeter drop, heel-toe. I consider it a bombproof shoe — stable, comfortable, durable but relatively light still."
Callahan has been running in about half a dozen Pendulum iterations since Vasque gave him the first prototype over a year ago. His feedback was incorporated into the design of the shoe, which hit the market this spring. Some changes between first prototype and final product are a breezier mesh upper and snugger forefoot fit, which make for cooler, more accurate running.
During particularly cold, gnarly winter days, Callahan opts for the Vasque Velocity 2.0 GTX. This GORE-TEX shoe is a beefy, rugged running shoe designed to hold up to the elements and keep you pushing forward.
"We've got days in Gunnison that are -30, and we could be running through six inches of new snow. It really helps having a GORE-TEX shoe that's durable and warm."

Velocity 2.0 GTX: %displayPrice% at %seller%
Honorable Mention: Hoka One One ShoesWhen you have a sponsor designing gear around your needs and whims, you really have no reason to go out and buy competing gear. But sometimes it's nice to explore what else is out there. Callahan says that one shoe he borrowed from a friend really stuck out in his memory.
"The Hoka brand is kind of fascinating to me. It's those big outsoles — real soft, cushy outsoles. People call them moon shoes and marshmallow shoes. I've put on a couple pair of those, and I've liked those quite a bit," he told us before loyalty (and/or guilt) points him back toward his sponsor. "I think we're seeing that trend in a lot of brands, and it might even be something coming down the line in Vasque."
Fitness Monitor: Suunto AmbitLaunched last year and recently updated into a 2.0 version, the Suunto Ambit is a GPS watch that can track your speed, distance, altitude, vertical, heart rate and so on. It's also one of the world's first fully featured wrist-top navigators, allowing you to upload routes and track waypoints to run, climb and hike your way through the great outdoors.
"It's a great device [with] pace, distance, time, elevation, temperature, barometric readings and compass. It's become an indispensable tool for my training.
"The primary function that I use is pace, so I know exactly what I'm running at different terrains, at different altitudes. [Pace is] an important tool for runners in races or in long training sessions to really kind of temper their effort early on, and then that'll enable them to hopefully be strong toward the end. We are running so slow relative to what we could run for, you know, two hours, but if we went out and ran hard for two hours, we'd fry ourselves."
"It's almost unnecessary when you're on established routes you've always been on — elevation and altitude is almost meaningless. But in races or training adventures or high peaks training, it's indispensable because you know, "hey, I know this pass is gonna be at 12,600 feet. I know right now just by looking at my watch I'm at 11,800 and it might be dark, it might be cloudy, I might not be able to see the pass." You know exactly where you are, and that's very, very helpful."
Hydration: UltrAspire HydrationUltrAspire is a niche hydration pack manufacturer that focuses on running- and cycling-specific packs. Callahan has had a relationship with it for several years.
UltrAspire's Surge pack — a 430-gram (with two-liter bladder) pack designed to hug the body — has been his go-to. The Surge uses two flexible side compression straps to keep the load close to the body without restricting movement. It includes several small pockets to hold things like energy bars and electrolytes, and Callahan said it's good for carrying an extra layer along with the water and snacks.
"If I'm going lighter and faster, I might wear just a small one-bottle waist belt and/or a small one-bottle hand bottle with a hand strap."
UltrAspire Surge Racing Vest: $116 at UltrAspire
UltAspire Solace Hydration Vest: $138 at UltrAspire %displayPrice% at %seller%
Threads: Arc'teryx Incendo Shorts and Accelero JacketArc'teryx is another one of Callahan's sponsors, so it's where he "shops" when it comes to apparel. His favorite short for the average run is the Incendo Short (or Incendo Tights for cold weather), and he likes the short fit, which is short enough for performance but still a modest three-quarter thigh length. On cool spring mornings, he throws on the weather-resistant Accelero Jacket to cut the chill.

How Many of you Guys are into Auto Detailing
Heh. This forum sorta reminds me of Auto Detailing. In Waxes alone, I can easily say I have about 2K + in waxes....but ~coatings~ have replaced all my expensive 'nuba.
In the GW Laundry forum, between the German powders to the chemicals you guys use to maintain and treat your washers with care ;-)
I think the closest thing that comes close for me to be part of the GW Laundry Forum, is my commercial grade steamer, but this is more in part to my OCD'ness when cleaning. I bought it with the intent of using it on the the toys (cars) but 90% of the time, I'm using in around the household ...floors, bathrooms, windows, u name it.
Hell, I'm guilty of being a tool junkie, order German wrenches - only to get hit with a hefty Custom Fee, which stopped my overseas ordering on those and Snap On has been my supply since.
Guilty. Dupray Hill Injection Steamer, Kranzle pressure washer, Flex XC 3401 VRG, air orbital, GG 3", Makita rotary, tank air compressor, on-and-on. Plan on switching over to Wera tools; currently have all the way and including 3/4" drive on existing tools. No longer use waxes; it's either a sealant or coating. Mind you this all just a hobby.
LOL, I've even detailed our Miele washer and dryer!
Ha. I knew there had to be a couple of detailers on here.
I was online looking at Persil, etc and I was like .....it's just like auto detailing hobby, just a tad different.
Back in the day, I was importing Menzerna when Menzerna was not even available here stateside ;-)
BTW, CQF with Reload is my favorite combo..

KILGORE — In May of 2011 the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) joined in the efforts of local law enforcement agencies, the Kilgore Police Department and the Rusk County Sheriff's Office, to bring down a methamphetamine trafficking organization.
The organization was responsible for the purchasing, selling and distribution of large quantities of crystal methamphetamine (ICE) in the Kilgore and Rusk County Areas.
In November of 2011, after an extensive investigation, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas indicted the following members of the trafficking organization:
David Christopher Wheeler, 29, of Kilgore
Raelene Dawn Ferguson, 26, of Kilgore
Bret Glynon Bates, 49, of Kilgore
Terri Rhea Young, 49, of Kilgore
Matthew Dean Willis, 24, of Kilgore
Devyn Leigh Quada, 19, of Jefferson
Harold Burgess Dickens, 41, of Mesquite
They were each indicted on the following three counts:
Conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more that 50 grams of pure methamphetamine possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
All seven have been arrested on the indictments and are currently awaiting trial. Kilgore Patrol Division played a significant role in the development of the investigation.
The Kilgore Police Department maintains a zero tolerance in regards to illegal narcotics and narcotic trafficking. The Department will continue to pursue a swift and aggressive drug enforcement strategy.
We hope to send a clear message that drugs and drug dealers are not welcome in our community!

SWTOR Cosplay Comicbook
It's time for another feature of SWTOR Cosplay swagger! This one is a special treat that has been out there for a while but most of us never even knew about it. It's short, so take your time appreciating all the work that went into it, from costume design, backdrop, photography, post-production effects, etc, etc. In my opinion this is total genius and something to learn from for all Cosplayers.

Welcome. Let's get started.
Gary, will every recruit who leaves USC be replaced by another recriut on a one-for-one basis; Or will USC just stockpile scholorships for the future? Thanks!
They will do everything they can to use the full allotment this year.
How hot of a seat is Lane Kiffin in with many decommitments including Kylie Fitts?
He's back in 2013 so the seat isn't hot in terms of coming back next year. But if things don't go well next fall the seat will be extremely hot.
If Lane Kiffin is to be replaced next year, who can you see as his replacement?
The name Jack Del Rio would likely receive a lot of attention.
Hi Gary, any news of a new DC? Any new names that have surfaced in the past week or so?
There are no confirmed updates. The defensive coordinator from Michigan State, Pat Narduzzi, popped up in the last week but that appears to be a no-go. There was also the rumor that Nick Aliotti could have been a candidate if Chip Kelly left Oregon since the head job would have went to Helfrich. The other rumored name still out there is Clancy Pendergast, which would be interesting since he runs the 3-4.
Lane Kiffin is an incompetent, bumbling, arrogant, underqualified, and embarrassing coach, and Pat Haden, by standing idly by and doing nothing, is complicit in the sinking of the football program. That is all.
Thanks for sharing.
Garry,With the way Fitts was handled recently I'm getting the feeling that the wheels are coming off the bus. Here is a guy that was all SC and he gets pushed aside to make room for LM3. I understand the situation with the sanctions but is this really the message CLK wants to send? I think is puts SC in a bad light. Your thoughts?
I thought it was a shame for Fitts, especially with the timing of the situation. It did not put USC in good light.
GP can you give us an update on the DC position? and the current recruiting issues? Thank you great job as always.
We talked earlier about the DC position. Aliotti and Narduzzi were mentioned but no longer appear to be options. Pendergast is still out there as an option, I was also told Joe Barry could still be considered.
What else does Kiffin need to do to get fired? Another embarrassing moment for USC with the Fitts story. Pat Haden has let me down as AD......Football program is a joke right now, not to mention Basketball and baseball programs
I think there are a lot of fans who share your opinion right now.
Hi Garry. Is the D-line still solid in 2013 without Fitts? Can the Trojans run the same defense in 2008 (putting a LB in D-line) so that we don't need to worry about filling the DE spot? Thanks.
it is. Fitts would have added another solid body along the line. I still think things look good with the two ends that are coming in (Hatcher and Prevot) plus it's critical to get Vanderdoes coming back in the middle with Bigelow.
With the exception of LMlll announcement, decommitments keep coming. Do you have anything new on Fitts' situation? Is there a way to get him to Greyshirt, or financial aid so that he could enroll early and kept on the roster?
The big problem is the roster limit of 75 for the spring, he can still come in the fall. I think this news was such a shock to Kylie that he will need some time to regroup before he makes a decision. I still think SC has a chance to bring him in for the fall.
Hi Garry. How do you compare the goal-line stand between Alabama-ND in NCG and USC-ND in USC season finale? I can tell the Bama OL is much stronger/faster and they can create gap in the goal-line stand.
I thought it was very telling. The SC goal line stand was, in my opinion, a symbol of the offensive struggles all year with odd play calls and poor clock management.
When can we expect to hear about a DC hire? I know Jalen Ramsey said it was crucial that he speak to a coach when he visits on the 18th.
I think timing is critical and I'm somewhat surprised it hasn't happened already. It's a huge priority to be in place for next week before the big recruiting weekend.
What is the latest on the Defensive Coordinator search, and do you believe this position is still desirable with the idea that Coach Kiffin could be let go in a year?
There is a lot of speculation that Kiffin's status could be a factor in a search. If coaches at other schools think Kiffin might only be here for another year it definitely could be viewed as a negative.
Why no new DC, OC or QB coach? Is that a sign LK could be gone? I heard o-line coach has be fired. The program sure seems poorly lead and organized. Losing Redfield - and the way they lost Massington,Fitts - plus other recruits have to be questioning their decision to commit to SC, with no DC,OC and LK ineffectively leading the program.
I don't think it's a sign that Kiffin has been fired. I do think news needs to be finalized quickly. The big recruiting weekend for the Trojans will take place on the 17th and they will really want to have things wrapped up by then.
The way the Trojans played in the bowl game had nothing to do with sanctions or talent level. Kiffin has not developed the players well enough, he did not call a good game and obviously does not do a good job of inspiring his players. Why is he being given another opportunity?
Haden believes there is enough merit to have him back for another year and his is the opinion that matters. I agree that sanctions or talent level were not the problems for the team in 2012.
What is going on with E Vanderdoes? Which school is leading for him or which way is he leaning? A coworker (ND fan) seems to think that they're leading for him!!
I wouldn't say ND is leading. I would still think SC has as good of a shot as anybody. He will be at USC on the 17th with the other SC recruits who he has gotten to know during the process. Another big key is the presence of Orgeron.
I think a DC needs to be in place by the recruiting weekend on the 17th. Finishing off these four spots is critical.
Kessler is a mobil QB - Why hasn't he been given a reasonable opportunity? Do you think Kessler will stay at SC?
I think a lot of Cody's game and I do think he could be right in the middle of the competition if he gets a legit shot in spring. There hasn't been any indication that he would be looking to leave but you never know what can happen in a situation like that.
Gary,What are your thoughts from the Fitts deal. He got bumped for a 5 star. With everything going on I am wondering about Kiffin's word and his ethics with these kids.... I just cannot see breaking a kids heart who has done everything you have asked for about a year.. Really makes me question Kiffin's decision making process..Happy New Year Garry..
I have no argument with what you are saying. It's a dark side of the recruiting process and you feel for a guy like Fitts in this situation.
Hey Garry quick question for you. Counting the EE USC will be at 75 can Kiffin pull a scholarship from someone that does not contribute to the team and have Fitts come in early?
I don't know for sure. My guess would be yes, based on my understanding of the rules.
What really happened in Fitt's decommitment? Why did the coaches go back on their word?
Right now Kylie isn't giving too many of the details but it's clear it was a tough situation for him. He was told there wasn't a spot for him in the spring, and that news came three days before he was scheduled to move onto campus. He was told it was due to the 75 man roster limit imposed with the sanctions.
Hello Gary, first time blogger long time reader, do you feel that kyle fitts is a big lost, and do you think SC can replace him with a better recruit if he doesnt recomit? fight on!!!
Welcome to the chat. I do think this is a big loss, if he doesn't recommit. Fitts is a physical guy and you can't have too many of those along the d-line. He's also a solid local kid who never wavered once he gave his commitment to USC.
Do you think we will continue to lose recruits at our current pace? One more question!! I live in louisville and Charlie Strong is one of the best coaches in the nation. Is there ever talk about him possibly coaching USC? Just curious!!
I haven't heard about any talk of Charlie Strong to USC but I have heard that the Cardinals are making a run at USC verbal Jason Hatcher. I think the coaches are aware of what's going on with losing recruits right now and they are doing everything they can to hold on to the remaining recruits.
The hits just keep on rolling. The main reason to keep Kiffin in my opinion was chiefly for the incoming recruiting class. Is there any chance if this class continues to fall a part he still gets fired? Has any coach been fired after NLOI day strictly to keep a class together?
I just don't think that would happen, Chris. I've never heard of it happening before either, not for a head coach. It's certainly happened before with assistants.
So we got a glimpse of Max Brown...Positives: he looked deadly accurate and can throw for distance. Negatives: he is even more of a statue than MB7. So you mean to tell me there are no QB's who throw like Brown but can run like Marriota? It seems SC is going out of its way to find UN-athletic QB's. Thoughts?
No doubt it is always good to find a guy with that combo but they are hard to find. I think Max Browne is as good as there is in this class, he may not be the most mobile but he mobile enough with all his other traits. He has some very good intangibles too.
Do you share the opinion that Heritage Hall has lost some integrity off the field, with issues surrounding commits Massington, Fitts, Larue, jersey switching, reporter banning, lying to the media, etc.? Is Haden oblivious to these transgressions? What will it take for him to step-up and take action?
The SC image has taken a hit, I don't think there's any question. Right now there are a lot of people wondering what Haden is thinking about the situation but I think it would be wrong to think he is oblivious to that perception.
What are your thoughts on the read option? Despite RG3 recent injury it seems to be a successful wrinkle to have in a play book. Even our boy Pete is using it in Seattle. So why not get offer scholarships to guys of the Russel Wilson variety. Let me tell you this, LK will be fired if he puts his faith in Wittik.
I understand the appeal of it for some schools but I think it's an advantage for SC to run the pro-style offense because that will always attract an elite level of offensive player.
LK said we're getting back to Trojan Football next season (whatever that means) Alabama looked like a pro team on monday with their big o-&-d linemen. So those "Trojan Football" mean developing a O line
Those are the words that are being spoken. Toughness and physical play are the hallmark words that are being talked about as key words for next year.
How many game MUST Kiffin win next year to keep his Job? Is the answer nine or ten since we miss Oregon & Washington next year.
I don't think it's necessarily a number, although a good number is critical, but it's more of a style of play. As we just talked in the previous post, the return to a more physical style of play would go a long way for Kiffin.
Alabama has Lacy and Yeldon. ND had Riddick and Woods. What in the world those SC have? Because Silas was injury prone and fumble prone from what I saw. Isn't time to give up on DJ Morgan? If he hasn't gotten by now than he never will.
That combo reminded me very much of White and Bush. I think a lot of people would think Isaac and Davis could be another good combo in the future.
Hey Gary, After watching Bama dominate in the BCS game I am hoping USC returns to playing power football like they did under P.C. Get Bigger/Faster LB's to go with what will be a dominant DL and get back to dictating the way the game is played and dominating the line of scrimmage. Don't hire a new DC who's focused on solely on stopping the spread. Get back to an attacking defense who makes teams quit in the 3rd quarter. Who is the flavor of the week for the new DC this week?
Narduzzi was the latest flavor of week but it doesn't appear as if that one would happen. I think a lot of people would agree that a return to a more physical and powerful style of defense would be a good thing for USC.
The program isn't having any fun. In the "good ol' days" PC had the boys jumping up and down as if he spiked their Gatorade with Red Bull. He was in the guys faces always coaching them up. But the clown leading the group now only wants to coach up that Denny's menu he calls a play book while his team was depressed and caught on camera infighting. Which type of sideline demeanor can we expect next year?
Haha, spiked Gatorade with Red Bull. So true. That's one of the items that has been discussed for Kiffin to work on for next year, to bring some of the emotion back to play.
Please tell me Kiffin & staff have a strong back-up plan with all these recent decommits? We can't afford to leave three scholarships on the table like last years class.
They have paid a lot of attention to having good back-up plans in recruiting, ever since they lost De'Anthony Thomas at the last minute. That last minute loss really bothered Kiffin and he's made it a point to do as much as he can not to let that happen again.
What the hell is Kennedy Pola's job description if LK is still calling the plays from the sidelines? Shouldn't someone in the box (who can see the defenses formation) be calling the shots?
A lot of fans share your criticism. Not too many coaches call their own plays and Kiffin has talked about possibly giving up the role because he knows it's tough to be a head coach and a coordinator. as far as a coach in the press box helping out, there's a reason the vast majority of teams do things that way.
Who are the Trojans pursuing to fill all the voids left by the recent decommits? Is Fitts the most important player for Kiffin to replace or resell?
I would still put Vanderdoes as the top priority to get back in the fold but Fitts is right there.
I would still put Vanderdoes as the top priority to get back in the fold but Fitts is right there.
ND beat the pants off of us (with or without MB7) and Alabama beat the breaks off of ND...So needless to say, SC, who may be the only team in the country that has the talent and tradition to beat the SEC, is sooooooooo far away from being ready to topple them and claim the Championship. When do you think we will be back to challenging for titles?
think so much of that question goes to what kind of changes will be made in the off-season. There is talk of a return to physical play and toughness returning as a key element for USC football. If that can happen, there is enough talent to see a return to challenging for titles in a very quick amount of time.
That's all the time we have for today. See you again next week.

Project FeederWatch #4 20http://forums.gardenweb.com/forum09/2010
This is a continuation of the Project FeederWatch #3 2009/2010 thread. Probably the last for this year since spring is ALMOST hear and the PFW bird counting season ends on April 9.
I've got blackbirds all over now - this photo shows male and female Common Grackles, male and female Red-winged Blackbirds, and male Brown-headed Cowbirds. There are a few female cowbirds around, but they didn't make it into this photo.
And of course there are turkeys - the toms have returned to my yard and have been parading around for a few days now trying to impress the hens. There was a lot of running and jumping and shrieking yesterday, but today things have settled down.
And on the non-bird front, I was out with my camera when I heard an odd "chuck" sound coming from the backyard. This chipmunk was just standing on a woodpile going chuck chuck, maybe a mating call?
I don't think I've ever seen a chipmunk stand still for very long, but it was still there when I went inside and looked out a window. It had just moved to another log. With all the predators here a chipmunk has to be able to move fast.
Early this morning the turkeys were back, and here is the main tom in all his splendor, parading around. I was hoping to get a photo of him in the sun, but it was just too early for that location.
I got the impression he knew I was watching him - there were a few side glances as he strutted by the birdbath and then went back to the hens.
Amazing turkeys, Claire. They really do look just like the drawings of turkeys we made in element*ary sch*ool. [g] Very odd combination of the gorgeous feathers and that ugly head....lol. You must be so tickled to have those to look at up close and personal.
I love seeing the turkeys! Lately they've been the first birds I see in the morning when I walk bleary-eyed to the window. This morning the tom finally moved into the sun in the usual spot near the euonymus. It's fun to watch people walk down the road and stop and stare at the turkeys. They stop traffic too.
They will probably disappear soon when the hens lay their eggs somewhere in the woods, to reappear later when the poults are fledged and hungry in a few months. But by then there should be hummingbirds and orioles to watch.
Do you know what ruffled the wren? Wind, wet feathers, or just morning wake-up rumpling?
The Carolina Wrens, Tufted Titmice, Northern Cardinals, Northern Mockingbirds, and lately the White-winged Doves are all southerners that were glad to migrate to New England. While they do sometimes get in a snit, they keep settling in here. Must not be too bad a place to live.
Claire (giggling)
It's raining again today and the turkeys are not taking it well. If they weren't wild animals (dinosaurs?) I'd go out with an old towel and dry them off. I doubt, though, that they'd take that well either.
This is a bunch of very disgruntled turkeys. At least the yucca looks good in early spring rain.
From here they moved across the street and sulked over there. I saw several cars stop and stare at them - the turkeys didn't move, just radiated disgust.
Very wet, unhappy birds in CT too! The turkeys have mostly disappeared, even though it finally stopped raining. They probably took off on one of their periodic walkabouts looking for a land where it doesn't rain. Just one little hen the last few days.
Luckily they walk when they travel, so I doubt they made it to RI.
Had to stop for road-crossing turkeys this morning, so they've traveled well,lol. This thread seems to be for people who have strutting turkeys, high perching mourning doves, sad Cardinals, and Canon cameras. So there will be no thread in the NE Forum for happy summer birds and the fledglings who come to our yards and gardens?
In the same campaign style as PFW, is anyone familiar with the USA National Phenology Network?
Here is a link that might be useful: USA National Phenology Network
In the past I've started threads for summer birds and other critters, with mixed success.
Birds and other mobile features in the garden 2009
Birds and other mobile features in the garden
If there's interest, I'll do it again.
I didn't know about the USA National Phenology Network, but the Horticulture Newsletter recently had as article about indicator plants with a link for Project Budburst which is in the same vein.
Maybe my level of expectation is not as high as yours,Claire,but looking at the 'mixed success' on the above past threads, the amount of participation looks okay to me. I like seeing your sparrow twins, painted lady, resting dove, and Terrene's garden toad. Marty takes great finches, owls, etc. Gardening year round is the ideal for most of us, but my Celtic New England blood at this age is comfortable up to about 80-85 degrees. After that, the air is on and sunny or not, I'm back in my office out of the sun; so at that point, GW summer threads is what I wear best. I vote for the same title thread with the addition of '2010'.
(P.S. in the 2008 thread I noticed your Gardenway - I have the same cart and it is now 34 years old - love that cart!)
OK, I'll wait a few weeks until PFW is over and I have something to post, and then I'll start a new summer thread.
That's my favorite cart. My father had the bigger one for many years and now my brother is using it. I loved the big one, but it's a little hard to maneuver so I bought the middle size a few years ago (many different suppliers sell these or similar carts).
The mid-size one has a removable gate and spent the winter on my porch under the overhang next to a plastic toboggan. If there was no snow cover I'd roll the cart down the steps and use it to carry big bags of birdseed from the car. In case of snow, the plastic toboggan got delivery duty. The cart is out basking in the sun today. The toboggan is getting dusty.
I bet that is what you have...and you know I think I saw one here one time but didn't know what it was! Now I'm going to keep my eyes peeled...
Here is a link that might be useful: Cornell info on White Throated Sparrow
Yes, a White-throated Sparrow. I've had them all winter here - they often hang around with the cardinals and the Song Sparrows feeding on the ground. They scratch in the litter like a terrier and usually don't allow other white-throats to get too close. Lately I've been seeing two white-throats together, so maybe they'll breed here. I don't usually see them in the summer so I don't know if they migrate or just fade into the background.
That bright yellow spot is pretty indicative along with the white cravat. A very fine bird.
Well, not really a feeder bird, but, this is the second year in a row this "guy" has returned to my yard, fighting with himself. Now, I say it's the same bird, but I may just be making that up in my head!
I become alerted to his presence by a rapping noise on the window. Sometimes he is pecking, sometimes he throws himself on the window in a real show of machismo. Handsome guy--these pics taken from the safety of inside my house!
What a fierce robin! I'm glad I'm not another robin or, even worse, a worm. That's a great shot of the evil eye.
Have you tried putting a desk lamp in the window? I've read recently that the light will break up the reflection and the bird will calm down. I haven't tried it myself, not being blessed with window-attacking birds.

In 2000, David Ayers was convicted of the murder of Dorothy Brown, a 76-year-old woman living in Cleveland. There's just one problem: Ayers didn't do it. In 2011, he was freed after the Sixth Circuit said that his case was marred by defects of a constitutional character.
In 2012, Ayers filed suit against the detectives who investigated his case, as well as the City of Cleveland. In an opinion issued last week, the Sixth Circuit upheld an award of $13 million in damages to Ayers.
