I agree with a lot of what you posted. That beng said, all of the bolding of random words is kind of freaking me out...
Despite the discussions I was getting into yesterday, my overall view of the program's direction is positive. I more or less really only have issues with Borges and the offensive line; I think there is way more going positively for the program than not. Losing to MSU sucks*, but even with a loss this weekend (and possibly paired with an OSU loss) Hoke is still on a very cold seat, in my opinion.
*Point of clarification: I think the MSU match-up is pretty even (UM's good D v. a terrible MSU O, MSU's aggressive D v. UM's turtling-prone O, UM's talent v. MSU's tendency to outplay their talent level against UM), I could easily see it going either way. I think OSU is the heavy favorite, and though The Game hasn't really been kind to UM in the past decade, anything can happen in the Big House.
I don't factor game results into my appraisal of the program. s/
My confidence in the direction this thread is headed is pretty low.
So, far Hoke has shown he can recruit at an elite level.
The rebuild began in the Bowl game in January, and really during Spring football. The Notre Dame game sent all of our expectations through the roof.
I think we can learn some things about Hoke's game management this year, and player development this time next year, but you really won't be able to judge Hoke as a worthy UM coach until Jabrill Peppers is a Junior.
Barring a complete and total meltdown or crazy circumstances (i.e. major violations or something similar) this staff has my support through the 2015 season as it stands. We have been in flux and unstable since 2007 and I'd rather not take a Notre Dame-esque wander through the wilderness of college football for 20 years.
There is no shame in losing a road game to a rival. Now if we look disorganized and unprepared then I'm looking directly at Hoke. We won't have to worry because we're gonna kick a little sparty ass.
This thread is taking me down...
Long answer: No one game defines whether a coach gets fired or not. RR didn't get fired because MSU(NTMSU) blew them out. He got fired because he was a combined 15-22 in 3 years, especially bad in Big ten play, and winless against MSU and OSU. The Gator Bowl was a culmination. Obviously he was dealt a tough hand and was judged unfairly, but even with the caveats his staff had plenty of failures in that span.
This game against MSU isn't culminating anything. Hoke and his staff certainly seem to have a weakness for road games, but let's not act like they've never won on the road or been competetive in the road losses either. I want the team to be competetive, and I want Borges and Hoke to be aggressive in their gameplan, because they know damn well that MSU's defense is gonna be aggressive.
Argue whether it's fair or not, but coaching in today's college football is evaluated on results. Hoke has had results...his first two seasons were already better than RR's best year here. Hoke needs to get results for these road games of course, but we're not anywhere near the point that we can fully judge his staff for these road games against good competition, because the sample size is still small (you can probably even withold the Neb game last year based on losing your QB mid-game).
Also, I hate hypothetical questions. I ask a simple question...why isn't there a thread asking what a win would do for the confidence of the direction this program is heading? I bet you Sparty lurkers/trolls are laughing their asses off at this thread. It's pre-game schadenfreude. Come on guys, the game hasn't even been played yet. And we're asking each other "WHAT IF THE SKY FALLS? HUH? WHAT THEN?"
A coach's record is a blanket statement for what they have done, not what they will do. No athletic director would simply fire a coach because, after x years, the coach has fewer wins than they'd like, where x is a positive integer. Even if the fans care about record after x years, the athletic director doesn't care what the fans think unless the fans stop donating and/or buying tickets. That wasn't happening in 2010.
Now if the athletic director was to look at the future, see a coach with a tendency to mismanage the defense + special teams trying to recruit with toxic atmossurrounding him (due in part to his record, but it started before he played a single game), then he may predict the coach will win less in the future. Then he'd be more inclined to fire them. Bottom line: a coach is fired because of their perceived performance in the future, not because of their record accomplished in the past.
For clarification, I think you're correct in saying it's too early to judge Hoke.
I'll try my best at an analogy. Bear with me please.
I just had a new home built this summer. Picked a reputed general contractor who talked a great game. Had sub contractors lined up to do the work for him that all came highly recommended with impeccable references. He used nothing but the best materials and best drawings.
What a clusterf**k. I'd go to the job site and find contractors tripping over each other, one group blaming another for the issues I would find - and there was the GC over in the corner with a bewildered look on his face. One sub would do something just to have it undone b/c another sub had to get in that same are to do their work. Every sub was so busy concentrating on his portion of the build they would ignore the other subs and their workload/requirements. They all worked beside each other without someone in charge stepping back and looking at the situation as a whole.
I see this team like my house was built. We are working with some of the best raw materials you can get but as long as the general isn't making sure his subs are all rowing in the same direction and working together, it's just a big discombobulated mess. I see it on TV and in person.
Like it or not – the most successful HCs tend to be the most involved in every aspect of the team – almost bordering on control freak levels – but as I said - on all levels and aspects of the team. Brady needs to be involved in every aspect of the team; not only one and I feel that is not happening.
That why it annoys me when I see Brady pick up the headset only when we are in trouble. Stay on top of the situation from the start and maybe we wouldn't need those head set moments to begin with.
Personally, I do not like the fact Brady coaches the DL. I do not expect my GC to swing a hammer and I do not want my HC coaching a position – it means his time an attention is not being spent on the team as a whole. Hire someone competent to do that work for you and ensure he is doing it right – that is your job as a HC.
I think that is why we have not improved as the season has worn on. Brady and Co. had all summer to plan and prepare for the first couple of games. So – the result is we performed well in the first couple of games since we acted like a cohesive group.
But now – once the schedule has become increasingly fast paced and the turnaround between games is compressed, Brady cedes too much autonomy to his coaching staff to prepare for the upcoming games as they see fit. They in turn look at the micro level versus the macro. I watch the team and it seems the coaches and coordinators are all working from their own set of ideas of what they feel they need to do and/or accomplish.
This is not a formula for success long term.
And good analogy re:home construction. You are correct-the best HCs are the ones who are really involve in every aspect of the team (see Saban, Meyer). I think Brady's laid back approach is nice when it comes to recruiting but it is not working well developing a consistent team performance. He definitely needs to take control of the team and staff and be involved in everything. While more stressful, it certainly will be more successful.
Some people seem confused about how many of us could get so caught up in "one game". It's not just one game though. I think the thought process is if UM loses this game most feel like it will be tailspin and they will only win 7...maybe 8 games this year.
So it's not simply one game...it's the reprocussions we expect from the loss. Mark my words if UM drops this game they will then lose to NU, Iowa, and OSU and will finish 7-5. If they win this weekend they only lose to Iowa, adn then it's a toss up for osu and they finish with 9 or 10 wins.
Those of saing "this one game is so important" sort of see a downward spiral if this game is lost. hell if they lose to MSU and only drop one more and end up 9-3 I won't be concerned with the direction of the program. But I don't see it working out that way...
... I readjusted expectations to be 8-4 or 7-5. I'm still sticking with that even with how bad Nebraska and NW look. MSU is the deserved favorite in this game. They are simply a more consistent team and have shown the ability to out game plan us over the past several years.
1-1 vs. Ohio and sparty. 2-1 vs. ND. BCS win. Undefeated at home. Recruiting is best it's been since early 2000's.
Brady Hoke isn't going anywhere and that makes me very happy.
Sometimes this fan base makes me sad.
We are clearly moving in the right direction. The whole league being week argument is well noted though. If the B1G is so weak now I get the feeling that the majority of fans see these games as obvious must wins, not only because they are a rival, but because try are one of few legit measuring sticks within the league. F we lose a close game then I see no reason to jump ship. Then again, a terrible offensive performance could be detrimental to Borges' future seeing how fans now know the o is capable of putting up big numbers; the majority coming from some kind of spread formation and not manball. Manball has not come instantly for us, but it's transition will either ruin or solidify this staff.
No, the direction of the program is solid and encouraging as Hell. But depending on the game plan it will either solidify my overall opinion of Borges as an OC or cause me to rethink my general negative impressions of HIM long-term.
While I will be disappointed with a loss, and joyous with a win, the outcome of this game will have no effect on my confidence. Since the beginning of the season I've said that Michigan could run the table or go 7-5 depending on the progress of the Oline. With the likely result dropping 2 or 3 games.
Admittedly I did not expect the team to be juggling Oline personnel seven games into the season, but it is what it is.
I also am well aware that nothing is "simple" when it comes to coaching a football team at this level, especially a team with so much youth and inexperience.
A win at MSU wouldn't improve my confidence, either.
Overall, I feel like there are a few elite football teams and a few really bad programs, but the majority of college football looks damn near equivalent to my eye. To the point where, if the same teams played more than once a season, I'd expect most to split the wins and losses. I can't determine anything with those odds, let alone the direction of a program.
Losing is disappointing, but it's not like Michigan is getting blown out in games under Hoke (excluding Bama), which would likely lower my confidence level. So far, M isn't some easy team to beat, and that's enough for me at the moment. And you have to admit, good coaches like Kelly, Spurrier, Meyer, etc. all looked seriously stressed squeezing out those single digit wins against Michigan, so Hoke doesn't appear to be very far behind his peers. Of course, I'd like to see the coaches and players improve, but a loss isn't going to cause me to sharpen my pitchfork.
Back in 2010 the Big10 was actually a decent conferences. OSU, PSU, MSU, and Iowa were all solid teams. Fast forward today. One could make the case that the Big10 may be the worse BCS conference. If we were playing a traditional Big10 schedule I could accept a 9-3 or 10-2 record. However, the reality is the Big10 minus a couple teams is MAC+. There are few teams that you can really measure yourself against. One of those teams is MSU.
In my opinion this is probably MSU's last hurrah as a large number of unheralded recruits who overachieved cycle out. It is possible that Dantonio is the Beilein of football. We will see next year. However MSU is one of the few teams that can actually measure up even close to Michigan. If we lose resoundingly to MSU then we are a lot farther from relevence even if we clean up on the rest of the cupcakes. If we lose a hard fought and close game I will not worry so much. A bad loss implies a smoking by OSU. With 3 losses we get to play a good SEC team and most likely get smoked again. 9-4 with bad losses against anyone decent would not make me feel good.
I keep hearing all of these youth excuses. Yet many of the teams we struggled against are also just as thin and young. It is excusable to expect a frosh Olinemen to struggle against lets say Iowa or Wisconsin's defensive front from 2010. It is another to see them get stuffed by Akron or UCONN. Also the expectation of 5 star freshmen is much different from others as it is presumed they can dominate. Marice Clarrett as a freshmen RB was the keystone that allowed OSU to win a NC. Almost every key win was set up by a signiture Clarrett play. Yet our 5 star RB can't even make the field. OSU has multiple first and second year starters on their Dline. Yet our most highly regarded Dlinemen Pimpkins is a backup to a starter who only gets snaps against non spread teams. The tag on Kalis when he came out of HS was college football ready. Yet he seems to be going backwards.
My basic rule for recruits is if you have 5 stars it is expected that you are good enough to compete for starters minutes unless there is a 5 star ahead of you. Perhaps show flashes of brilliance but be inconsistent. 2nd year you are showing flashes of domination and are not a weak link and are a solid starter. Year 3 you are dominanting. For each reduction in stars drop a year. It is reasonable in my opinion that a 3 star in a big time program not really contribute to year3 presuming one year of red shirt.
My other big problem is the constant reversion of the staff to stick with their orthodoxy of football. There is no reason why what happened at Indiana should have also happened to PSU. The mark of a great coach is to maximize the talent on the team. Tressel was a power ball disciple also. But when he realized he had a great spread QB and the dropback passer was not working so well he embaced the strengh of the team which was a mobile QB and 5 solid receivers. Gonzalez, Ginn, Robinski, and Hartline all had NFL looks.
I remember the RichRod games against MSU. The third year was particularly disappointing, and convinced me we were in trouble.
Not sure if "turning points" really exist, but if they do, rivalry games (and perhaps bowl games) could serve in that role.
Turning point games can be quite positive too - think of the Lions' recent win. I suspect (though who knows as of now) that this may drive them to great heights.
I'm hoping for a hard-fought victory this weekend. If Hoke and co. pull that off, I think we'll all be pretty damn happy with the program, regardless of how we played against Akron or even PSU.
My confidence in the direction of the program has already been shaken because of the way we've started this year. I don't doubt the program is heading in a better direction than it was from 2007-2010. But I don't think we're improving as rapidly as I had thought. Also, I admit to harboring some doubts about certain positions in the coaching staff, and I have certain systemic concerns caused by various program policies. Still, so much better than 2007-2010.
This is Hoke's third year and if we lose, then Hoke will have a losing record against Sparty and we have play at Sparty again next year.
Plus it pretty much assures we once again won't be playing for a B1G championship. Hoke and the players themselves have said that they are playing for championships and not meeting that goal constitutes a failure.
Why should we as fans, have a lesser standard?
Has he learned his lesson yet? There is no reason to believe that this team can run the ball consistently against a defense like MSU considering the lack of success against far less talented units. Win or lose I hope to see players put in a position to succeed. Shorter quicker passes to build Devin's confidence and get him in a rhythm, and throwing on 1st down would be helpful. MSU is too fast and aggressive to think this O-line will allow 5-7 step drops. Michigan has a special athlete under center and if we can utilize his skillset and force a defense to defend against the pass/run option it will put tons of stress on the defense, Devin should be rolling out often and running when it presents itself. If Borges' gameplan is centered on a running game with the running backs and 5-7 step dropback passes, forget it! No chance in hell against this MSU defense.
the "3rd year coaches win championships" argument has no relevance to Michigan.
Every single one of those successful coaches inherited a team that can accurately be described as well recruited and talented but poorly coached. At the risk of offending people, the 2008-2010 Michigan teams do not qualify as that. Hoke is playing freshman all along the line, the defense will finally have a plethora of upperclassmen next year, and Devin will have over a year and a half of experience as a full time starting QB. If Michigan struggles to win 10 next year, then we can hop on the fright train.
our DBs are not ready for heavy blitzing and being on an island. We should win but if we lose it will be on Gardner turnovers and our defense letting yet another team play point to point with us like they have. I see us losing 2-3 more if we lose.
For MSU less so, except on the "OMG rivalry!" side of things.
I think Sparty can lose to Michigan on Saturday, then win out the rest of their games vs. NU, NW and Minny and still arrive at the title game. MSU would no doubt get a ton of help from Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio vs. Michigan.
Meanwhile, Michigan's margin for error gets tighter. UM cannot afford another loss right now to MSU, because of Nebraska, at Iowa, at NW and Ohio games in sequence.
Either way, I'm not sure it matters given what we now know. Whoever wins the Legends division is simply going to have the privilege of getting smoked by Ohio in the title game.
will just further cement my opinion of which direction the program is heading. Not change it.
So everyone here who says MSU is just one game it and doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things...
So if we were to beat OSU this year and snap there 24 game or whatever win streak I GUARANTEE every last one of you would say that was a program win. A sign that Hoke "gets it" and that the program is in the right direction. We all would bc its true.
But if we lose to MSU this week then "its ok, its just one game". "it wouldn't mean anything or be a sign". "the loss wouldn't cause me to question any coaches".
You can't have it both ways.
and btw, based on the Big 10 format, the MSU game IS bigger than the OSU game. UM needs this to make the Big Ten Championship. You know that game Hoke always talks about and says anything but is a FAILURE. We lose this game and its next to impossible to even PLAY in the B10 title game much less win it. This IS the biggest game of the season and will clearly set the tone for the final stretch.
But neither the MSU or OSU games will be his first as Michigan's head coach. He's coached 33 games and won 25 of them. One game should not change ones opinion of the coach when there is a pretty good sample size with which to judge.
And I disagree with one of your premises. I don't think anyone who currently thinks the coaches are not the right ones would change their mind after beating Ohio. But the people who think we have the right coaches will use it as evidence to support their mindset. Just like a loss to MSU is not going to change the minds of the pro-Hokers, but it will be used as ammo by the Others.
Pre-season I figured this was a 10-2 or 9-3 team, with a loss AWAY at MSU one of the more likely culprits. Midseason I reconfigured expectations, and started thinking of this as a 9-3 or 8-4 team, with a loss AWAY at MSU still one of the more likely culprits, but if anything, moderately more likely than it seemed before.
We can win this, but I don't think we are as likely to win as we are to lose.
If we win, though, I'll go back to thinking of us as a 2 or 3 loss team.
I always love reconfiguring expectations like this. Going in I thought 9-3, and damn it, I still expect this
Very few of the players who Hoke actually recruited are upperclassmen. The upperclassmen on this team (who number much fewer than what Michigan is used to) are all either survivors of RichRod's recruit-hemorraging final classes or part of the hybrid 2011 class that didn't even crack the top 20. Hoke only has two full recruiting classes under his belt, which were ranked #7 and #5 per Rivals.
I know it's frustrating, because this program was a rock of stability for most of its existence and yet it seems like we've been in transition mode forever. And yes, everyone hates the fact that there has been a significant gap between Michigan and Ohio State for quite a while (minus the '11 season). But the personnel issues that this program has faced dating back to the late Carr era are well-documented. Carr started to tail off in the latter half of his career and the (perhaps reactionary) RichRod hire turned out to be an epic blunder from which the program hasn't yet fully recovered. That's why we are where we are. Final judgment on Hoke can only be rendered when we've cycled through one full class of Hoke recruits.
than it provided Rodriguez. You typically need 4 to 5 years to recover from the previous admin and buid up your own. Getting pissed off and grabbing pitchforks at year 3 (UM will probably finish 7-5 to 8-4) just increases the likelihood of travelling down the infamous Baylor experience. Patience.
Coach Hoke and the staff deserve more time based on their perormance in the first 3 years. I also agree that the team is relatively young and the players still have room to develop, but it should not be overstated. There needs to be some progress this season. If the team loses and takes a nose dive, it will definitely diminish his prior accomplishments.
Even though I think he needs time, I think it is worth noting that Hoke's best season was his 1st with Rich Rod's players. RR was not afforded the opportunity to coach seniors because of the horrible performance in the Big Ten, against the main rivals and trainwreck when they got into a bowl game.
It's must win for me. Hoke has to show the team is in a position to win the league title in year three with a mix of his guys and RR guys. You can't let State bitch slap you around. Especially when you bade your entire coaching mission state as: Be Physical!
We're gonna have to spread the field and pass to win this one, there will be no running on this defense not even by Gardner.
We could have played hard, had no turnovers, and still lose, say 23-21.
Or, we could play terribly and lose big.
Almost worst, we could play terribly and still win. (unlikely.)
Of course, like all Michigan fans, I want to see us win. But to lose a close, well-played game on the road is vastly different from losing a blowout because a game was called poorly and the team wasn't put in the position to succeed.
To answer your question directly: a loss to MSU will NOT cause me to lose confidence in the direction the Michigan program is heading in. I believe we're heading in the right direction, and we will see this more in 2014, and see it completely by 2015.
i think it would be more important in how we lose. if UM gets embarrassed, that could be a problem. if we lose a close hard fought game, i don't see big problems. sparty is pretty good, and they are at home. but let's just win and start our typical win streak against sparty.
Here's the kind of perception about Michigan that I find troubling, a quote from today's Washington Post's Feinstein article on the top four teams:
"Here's another possible twist: Alabama and Oregon are far more likely to lose than Florida State or Ohio State. The Buckeyes play no one - and that includes Michigan - the rest of the season (italics supplied)."
While I think we are certainly someone, how does being perceived as no one affect recruiting, bowl invitations, etc.?
Brady Hoke called his team inconsistent - this isn't my value judgment, though I said exactly the same thing here after PSU. It's my belief that inconsistency is a sign of coaching problems.
This team may not be perfectly loaded with talent on defense, but it certainly has what it takes to slow MSU's offense down, if a Purdue can do it.
The offense clearly is potentially explosive, and despite MSU's defense, has the ability to score points; maybe not as many as it does against lesser defenses, but two or three touchdowns are not out of the question. And with a decent defensive effort, Michigan should be in the driver's seat.
So it seems to me that the difference between winning and losing this weekend is on the coaching staff. Getting the team mentally prepared, physically prepared, and put in a position to win is what coaching is about.
I'm fine with a close game, or even bad breaks causing a loss. But with this team, it's pretty obvious when they aren't being put in a position to win. And if it's that, yes, I will further lose confidence in this staff.
agree on all accounts.
is also a sign of youth
...turnover-prone QBs.
That is board would be completely unreadable if not for Space Coyote. I'm not sure how he keeps doing it.
MSU has to win it to control their own destiny. If they lose to UM Saturday, then MSU will requierd help from others to beat UM to get to the title game.
If Michigan loses Saturday, then reaching the title game is probably gone bye-bye, but they can go out and wreck other people's pathetic BIG10 seasons (and maybe Ohio's aspirations) with malice aforethought.
I'd like UM to win this rivalry game because I think the seniors deserve it.
You can pretty much throw out anything from before the Rich Rod era in regards to Hoke's teams because it is no longer relevant. People can look around the counrty and in this conference at other teams doing things well but the fact is Michigan is not at that point yet. In 2011 we had a strong senior class that took this team, put it on their backs and carried it to a Sugar Bowl, we had a senior class that hadn't beaten a Big Ten rival and refused to lose. That were also a TALENTED senior class and you can talk about Player Development all you want but talent and stars (which measure talent to a degree) matter. This is a program with very little stability and program direction right now and that means we have to create whole new one which takes years, not a season and a half. 2011 was the outlier, starting last year we started the rebuiling phase, Hoke wants to take us right back to what we where before, what Bo molded this program to be, a Huge, Tough team that plays extraordinary defense and can run the lights out of the ball because of a fantastic line. We were the definition of MANBRAWL. That is what we where for almost 40 years before a sizeable section of the fanbase grew tired and weary of conservative play calling and losing to Ohio and called for a change. The administration answered and Rich Rodriguez and riding in on a white horse to change the program and make it more exciting for fans. He basically made Michigan into a bad Big 12 team, an all offense and spread oriented team that can't stop anyone to save their lives. During his three years he effictively destroyed almost every bit of identity Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller and Llyod Carr had built for almost 40 years save for one senior class that survived the devastation. RR seemingly targeted everything that made Michigan great and demolished it. He took a great defense and made it the worst we have ever seen, he took one of the most productive OL factories in football and deprived it of nourishment (recruited almost no one), he reversed MANBALL, and it took him three years. So when Hoke came in, he had to reverse what RR had done. Some changes happened rather quickly like the defense becoming respectable, but some take time, like rebuilding the OL. That takes at least 3,4 maybe even 5 years depending on how players pan out and are developed. OL is like no other position on the football field, I don't care what training you've had in high school it is "Lion's winning a Championship" rare to have a guy come in and start right away, ESPECIALLY without EE. It has happened before and probably will again but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. On the OL you have to have every single person execute their assignment or you get nowhere offensively, which is what has happened the last two years. 2012 we had basicaly 1/2 an OL on the interior 3 spots, this year we've improved to 1 1/2 if your generous. Basically we have no guards on this team and we have RR to thank. OL need about 3 or 4 years in most cases to develop which is why they all redshirt. If you think that's an excuse then take Glasgow, if he was anywhere near this good last year he would have played. But, more likely he improved leaps and bounds from last year as OL are wont to do and now he is one of the best we have. ALL of our line should be on this path but roster needs have forced otherwise. We need to be patient, once the OL comes around and matures, then we will have our team back. Until then no amount of firing and complaining in the world will fix our football team.

Between announcements of Cooper Union possibly charging tuition and the average student debt topping $25,000, news about the cost of college haven't been too positive as of late. But lo, the University of Charleston has broken the bad news cycle: The West Virginia school has announced it will reduce tuition by 22 percent for all new students and provide additional aid for continuing students.
UC has guaranteed that no undergraduate student will pay more than $19,500 for tuition in the fall of 2012. This will be the base price for freshmen and transfer students while the figure returning students will see is $25,500 with a promise of at least $6,000 in university aid. The tuition reduction is part of a broad system redesign which the University of Charleston hopes will allow greater innovation and cost-effectiveness without compromising the quality of its education. According to a release on UC's website, these changes include "a five-year plan that emphasizes fast-track learning, achieving athletic prominence, championing innovation and expanding access."
In a time where every dollar makes a difference, did the University of Charleston just move up on your college wish list?

Teens may be excited about "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" and "The Hunger Games" but it appears applying to college early is just as trendy.
Though the numbers are still being tallied, Duke, Brown, Northwestern and Johns Hopkins are all estimating sizeable increases in the amount of early applications received but they aren't alone: The University of Virginia and Princeton – two schools which reinstated their early admissions programs this year – have their respective hands full with applicants as well. Also of note is the heightened availability of ED II, a second round of early decision with a January deadline, for students who applied to one school using the binding application option and were rejected or deferred. And with these elevated application numbers comes an expected increase in both acceptance rates and financial aid offerings, something students and their parents will both appreciate.
What do you think of these application trends? Did you apply early or do you plan to apply during regular admission and why?

Whether you're a prospective college student or already a few years in, there's no doubt that tuition is a major concern. It's not cheap to be a college student and while student loans can greatly assist you in this struggle, sometimes they're not enough. That's where scholarships can help.
Many aren't aware but November is National Scholarship Month and the perfect time to start your search for scholarships that perfectly meet your needs. Your first step in this journey is throwing away the number one misconception about scholarships – that they are only awarded to "smart kids." While many scholarships do require that you maintain a certain GPA, grades are not the only criteria. There are scholarships available for athletics, community service, to students pursuing certain careers or majors, and to minorities.
It may seem like the chances of winning a scholarship are slim. That was my mentality when I heard nothing after filling out application after application. Sure, it was frustrating but I didn't give up. And I'm glad I kept at it: Just a few weeks ago, I saw the fruits of my labor when I was awarded a scholarship from an alumnus at my school!
My biggest piece of advice to students searching for scholarships is to be persistent in your search. If you fill out hundreds of applications, you have hundreds of scholarship opportunities but if you give up and don't fill out any, your opportunities will reflect that. Utilize every resource you can, like talking to the financial aid office at your school and seeing what they recommend...and don't forget about the Internet! A little site called Scholarships.com has a plethora of information that can steer you in the right direction. Best of luck and may your scholarship searches be fruitful!

Like most things in New York City, her life and college experience is far from typical – she commutes to school from her home in Flushing and took nearly a semester's worth of classes online – but she still likes to hang out with friends, go to parties and feed her social networking addiction like your "average" college student.

The National Association for College Admission Counseling recently released a list of the top 10 things college admissions officers consider to be most important in an applicant. When I read it, I was surprised to find that extracurricular activities didn't make the cut! There have been many times when I have said or heard someone else say, "That will look good on a college application." After all, there is something impressive about being SGA president or being actively involved in a service organization like Key Club. Unfortunately, the data say otherwise.
So if you are a high school junior or senior thinking about college, what should you do? Developing good study habits is extremely important – learning IS the point of attending school! – but don't sacrifice your extracurriculars. College admissions officers may not consider them to be important but involvement in your school, church and community is oftentimes a big factor when dealing with scholarship applications. When I was in high school, I was a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters and writing an essay about that experience garnered me a $1,000 scholarship from Coca-Cola during my second semester in college. Even if you don't end up with scholarship bucks, there is no price to be placed on the leadership skills and character development that can result from getting involved.
So what do you think? Should college admissions officers place a higher value on what you do outside the classroom or should academics be all that matters?

As anyone who's ever overindulged in Thanksgiving dinner can tell you, too much of a good thing does indeed exist. This mentality does not hold true when it comes to scholarships, though...especially this Scholarship of the Week from AXA Equitable!.
The AXA Achievement Scholarship awards $670,000 annually. Fifty-two students – one from each state, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico – receive scholarships of $10,000. Of those 52 students, 10 students are chosen as national winners and receive an additional $15,000 scholarship award and an internship opportunity with AXA Equitable.
Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate ambition and drive, determination to set and reach goals and the ability to succeed in college. If that sounds like you, visit AXA's website to apply before the December 1st deadline. As always, to learn more about this and other scholarship opportunities, conduct a free Scholarships.com scholarship search today!

In recent years, college students have become more cautious about taking out loans to pay for school. There are multiple reasons for this – horror stories from friends or siblings, limited job prospects after graduation and high interest rates have all been cited – and while it's an admirable goal to graduatefrom college debt-free, educators think this approach could actually hinder students from getting degrees.
According to a recent Associated Press article, students are attempting to limit borrowing by working longer hours, taking fewer credits (and often not enrolling full-time), living at home and attending less selective institutions. While educators are impressed with this level of fiscal responsibility, they are quick to point out that each action above is a risk factor that makes college students less likely to graduate. Borrowing could prevent this, said Deborah Santiago, co-founder and vice president of Excelencia in Education. "If you can take out a little bit of loan you're more likely to complete. If you can go to a more selective institution that gives you more resources and support, you're more likely to complete." How much more likely? Federal data analyzed by Excelencia and the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) in 2008 shows roughly 86 percent of students who borrow for college are able to attend full-time compared to 70 percent of students who don't borrow and roughly 60 percent of full-time students receive a bachelor's degree within eight years compared to 25 percent of part-time students.
What can be done to facilitate this message? Educators believe students need to better understand financial aid, the difference between types of loans, debt management and the returns on various degrees and majors. In addition to searching for scholarships and grants, is borrowing part of your financial aid plan and does this information make you more or less likely to take out a loan?

I have been attending college for about four years now and have never taken a semester off. The thought used to make me shudder – how could someone even think of taking time off from school?! – but after this semester, it doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
Some of my friends took semesters off to travel and learn more about themselves, while others were lost and not sure what they wanted to do in life. Some have experienced the loss of a family member or friend and others fell so ill that it interfered with their everyday lives. But me? My situation has been a combination of flying squirrels, bad landlords, health issues and money problems. Stress from school has skyrocketed to its worst level ever and I am planning to take the summer off, since I cannot afford to withdraw from spring classes if I want to stay on track. (I did consider attending part-time but found it could create problems with financial aid.)
If you're considering taking a semester off, do NOT just drop off the face of the Earth. Let your adviser know your plans and keep the lines of communication open so that the process of coming back to school is easier when you are ready to do so. You may be taking time off from school to destress but I'd also recommend doing something related to your major – picking up an internship/job, volunteering or studying for LSAT, MCAT, GMAT or GRE – to stay somewhat involved in your field.
Lots of college students take time off for one reason or another; if external factors are competing with school to the point where your grades are suffering, take a break – you'll return to school more motivated to succeed.

When an acceptance letter arrives from your dream college, your first instinct may be to scream, cry and jump on your couch with Tom Cruise-caliber flair. Feel free to give in to those urges – hey, you earned it! – but realize you will soon have to figure out how to pay for your education. Can you really afford this school, not only while you're attending but after you graduate as well? A new list from Kiplinger says your dream school could be a reality after all.
The list, which rates how well colleges actually do in making themselves affordable, includes schools with students who graduate with less than $20,000 in student loan debt on average. The Washington Post's Daniel de Vise also weighed in, supplementing Kiplinger's findings with data from the Institute for College Access and Success. Here's what he found were the most affordable institutions based on the average amount of debt graduates carry:

Here at Scholarships.com, we make a point to advocate the importance of funding your college education the right way – for free! – and while financing your higher education solely from scholarships is an amazing feat, there is a factor to consider: scholarship displacement.
If you don't know what scholarship displacement is, you're not alone. Believe it or not, winning a scholarship may not be the end-all be-all when it comes to paying for school because they can complicate the financial aid package offered by your intended university. Why? When a student wins a scholarship, the college may reduce the student's need-based financial aid package to compensate. For example, say a university offers a student a $15,000 grant and an additional $15,000 loan to cover the cost of attending. If the student were then to win a scholarship for $15,000, the college could retract its $15,000 grant. Colleges call this an over-award and the scholarship providers call it displacement.
Although this may seem discouraging, it shouldn't dissuade you from applying to scholarships altogether. Instead, do your homework, speak with your admissions counselor and know where your intended college stands when it comes to their scholarship policies. If you're brining a lot of scholarship dollars to the table, you have options. Every college is different and has their own guidelines when it comes to outside scholarships. If one university doesn't allow you to put those scholarship dollars to other costs – loans, books, room and board, etc. – enroll at one that does. You could also enlist the help of the scholarship sponsor: Some scholarship providers may have a lot of clout with the college, especially if their scholars make up millions of dollars of funding to the college.
If you have any additional questions about scholarship displacement, don't hesitate to ask us!

This brings up a point. I want a page that lists out EVERY SINGLE ITEM that I've purchased or unlocked in the game. Other f2p games I've tried did this, and it was much appreciated. At the least it gives me a log and proof of ownership if things go awry. I don't get too upset if things go awry, computers can be strange sometimes. What does irritate me is that there's nowhere I can go to that shows what it is I have bought and on, in one master list.

Hotel changed my room reservation to a room with an awful foldout bed, lacking sheets. Trash and dead cockroaches on the hallway carpets and stairwells. Desk clerk not on duty when I arrived, waited10 minutes, then learned my reservation (paid in advance) was not being honored. Entire first floor apparently booked by travelers with dogs and pets. Didn't stay for "breakfast" after seeing the dark, tiny room with a few bagels. This place is a dump, not at all like La Quintas at airports.
Absolutely nothing.
The staff was rude and very unprofessional. As soon as,I walked in I realized that the hotel had a foul odor. The furniture was dingy. The towels had stains on them. However,the biggest issue was the manager's (Christopher)attitude. I checked in the hotel with no problem. Then,I left to visit with my family. Once,I returned back to the hotel my keys no longer worked,so I went to the front desk to get new ones. It was then I met the manager from hell. He told me he had deactivated my keys because I owe him money for my stay. I expressed to him that I had already paid hotel club.com I even showed him my confirmation email,and he stated that meant nothing to him. So,I got on the phone with hotel club.com and they called the hotel and fixed the situation. And he still had the worst attitude as if it was my fault he hadn't received payment from hotel club.com. So,I say all that to say if you have any minor complications with your reservation please don't expect any sympathy or professionalism from this staff. Worst hotel stay ever. Nasty hotel and awful staff is a terrible combination.
Location off the highway
Dirty, dusty, not taken care of. The pool was freezing . Looked like someone had forgotten to take care of it since 1989. The plastic plants on the balconey had years of dust built up on them. Desk staff was not very helpful. Bathroom was moldy in places.
Room was clean'. Staff friendly and helpful.
Was very difficult to control the temperature in the room.either very cold and slow to warm up.
My son loved the indoor pool and they were great to accommodate us on a late check out so we could do one more newborn feeding before leaving.
Nothing to like except for parking is right in front of the rooms.
Room was filthy. Not fit for even pets. There were over 20 roaches, baby and adult, in the bathroom. Floor felt dirty. Air felt dirty. A/C heater did nothing in December. Sheets were probably not washed--there were multiple stains and cigarette burns.
low price comparably, one of the two people at front desk was nice
very dirty and sketchy, never had such thin walls, not well kept at all
The staff was friendly. We have service dogs and there were no issues with check in that we have found in many establishments.
It was very clean. Comfortable beds with clean sheets and comfortable pillows.
There are some maintenance issues. Stains on the ceiling, popcorn on the ceiling was coming down in some locations. Bathrooms needupgrades or at least some new caulking aaround the tub and fixtures.
carpet was dirty everywhere
Room smelled bad, air conditioner didn't work properly, bathroom floor was dirty, shower curtain smelled bad.
Availability to the interstate and dining.
Outdated. Musty odor in the room.
Newer room, great water pressure
The sheets had some stains on them. The room didnt have the heat when we came into the room
The room had a nice spacious layout
The mattress was comfy but the bed made noises on any movement (sitting, turning, etc)
I really enjoyed staying at Knights Inn....the rooms were remodeled nice clean carpet...clean bathroom was a super plus for me...big screen TV.... fridge.... microwave...nice clean coffee pot w/coffee....free continental breakfast...loved it:-) :-)
The staff was very nice and made sure that I bad a great stay.
The lady at the front desk was super friendly and helpful
We came back in the afternoon and the room wasn't cleaned. I talked to the lady at the front desk and she sent someone up there right away
It was a nice place to get rest. the stuff was nice and helpful
Was hard to find. Thugs walking around lobby with open containers.
Rooms are fine. They have been re done.
The heater took 3 hours to bring room to proper temp.The hallways and elevater and front desk or a bit rough.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

The SEC's advisory committee will meet this Wednesday to discuss and address means of promoting secondary market liquidity for the securities of small and emerging companies, including addressing the Section 4(a)(1-1/2) exemption, as well as to vote on a recommendation regarding the "accredited investor" definition. The session will be webcast and available from the SEC's website. The full agenda is available here: http://www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2015-41.html#.VPTlA010yFg.
SEC Remarks at the Practising Law Institute's Program Titled "SEC Speaks in 2015"Posted in SEC News
On February 20, 2015, several representatives from the SEC spoke at the Practising Law Institute's program titled "SEC Speaks in 2015," including Chair Mary Jo White and Commissioner Louis A. Aguilar. Ms. White provided highlights from 2014, including significant rulemaking (e.g., Regulation SCI, reforms related to money market funds, over-the counter derivatives, asset-backed securities and credit rating agencies, additional Title VII requirements, rules regarding clearing agency oversight, and rules requiring hedging policy disclosure) and significant increases in enforcement proceedings and registrant examinations. Ms. White also highlighted three core initiatives for the SEC for 2015: (1) enhancing market structure; (2) strengthening asset managers; and (3) facilitating capital formation for smaller issuers. In his remarks, Mr. Aguilar also described the SEC's priorities for 2015, which include:
- completing the remaining rulemaking required under the Dodd-Frank Act, particularly rulemaking relating to derivatives regulation and corporate governance;
- continuing the implementation of various provisions of the JOBS Act for facilitating the ability of smaller businesses to access the capital markets, particularly the adoption of final rules regarding Regulation A+ and crowdfunding and amending Regulation D to mitigate the risks posed to investors involved in general solicitations; and
- bringing more enforcement cases to send a stronger message of deterrence.
In addition, Mr. Aguilar emphasized certain macro principles with respect to the implementation of various provisions of the JOBS Act, including: (1) the nature and experience of the investor; (2) the type of information necessary to permit investors to make informed investment decisions; (3) the overall regulatory environment, particularly the role of state securities regulators; and (4) the secondary trading environment and whether investors will be able to sell securities in a fair, liquid and transparent market. Finally, Commissioner Kara M. Stein and Investor Advocate Rick A. Fleming discussed disclosure reform and making data both layered and structured in order to enhance disclosure and provide greater transparency for investors.
The speeches of the SEC representatives, including Ms. White and Mr. Aguilar, are available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/news/speeches.
UK Regulator Publishes Findings of Crowdfunding ReviewPosted in Crowdfunding
Earlier this month, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority published a paper, "A review of the regulatory regime for crowdfunding and the promotion of non-readily realizable securities by other media" (you may access the paper here: http://www.fca.org.uk/static/documents/crowdfunding-review.pdf), which provides a post-implementation review of the market following the April 2014 effective date of regulations. For 2014, the report notes that loan-based crowdfunding grew almost three-fold from 2013 to 2014, reaching approximately GBP 1.3 billion in loans. Small business loans comprised the majority of the market. Equity crowdfunding remains smaller, though it is growing rapidly. The report notes approximately 200% growth from 2012 to 2014, with nearly GBP 84 million raised in 2014. The report comments on the FCA's market supervision, noting the FCA's registration process and its review of websites used by crowdfunding platforms. The website and advertising review highlights a number of recurring issues, such as a lack of balanced disclosure, insufficient or misleading information, cherry picking of information, etc. The report concludes that despite these deficiencies, the FCA does not see a need to change its regulatory approach and will continue to monitor the fast-growing market. The regulatory approach and the findings related to communications may be instructive to state regulators in the United States who have moved forward with crowdfunding regulations in their states.
Proposed Hedging Disclosures to Apply to EGCsPosted in Emerging Growth Companies, SEC News
The SEC recently proposed amendments to require disclosure of whether employees and directors of public companies are permitted to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of equity securities granted to them as part of a stock-based compensation plan or that are held by them. The proposed amendments were necessary in order to implement Section 14(j) of the Exchange Act, as required by Section 955 of the Dodd-Frank Act. In its proposing release, the SEC indicates that it intends to apply the disclosure requirement to smaller reporting companies and EGCs. The release notes that consideration was given to exempting or delaying the application of the proposed amendments for EGCs.
In the analysis of costs and benefits, the proposing release notes that employees and directors of EGCs potentially face greater downside price risk than those of non-EGCs, thereby making disclosures relating to hedging activities by employees and directors more valuable to shareholders and potential investors. The analysis also estimates that the compliance costs for EGCs than for seasoned issuers (already preparing Compensation Disclosure & Analysis sections and complying with more rigorous executive compensation disclosure requirements) will be higher. For example, the release notes that EGCs may incur costs associated with formulating hedging policies for the first time and preparing required related disclosures.
The proposed rule is subject to a 60-day comment period. The final rule will detail the fiscal year in which issuers must begin to comply with the requirements of Section 14(j) of the Exchange Act.
The JOBS Act and Research AnalystsPosted in JOBS Act News
In a recent paper titled "Analyst Research Quality and the JOBS Act: Effects of Increased Pre-IPO Communication" Michael Dambra (University of Buffalo), and Laura Field, Matthew Gufstafson, and Kevin Pisciotta (Penn State University) examine the effect of the JOBS Act on equity research. The paper concludes that the JOBS Act "increases permissible pre-IPO interactions between research analysts and investors, investment bankers, and management." It is not clear from the paper how or why the interactions have changed. The authors conclude that in the post-JOBS Act period, research distributed by analysts affiliated with the IPO underwriters has become less accurate and more optimistic relative to their unaffiliated counterparts. Post-JOBS, affiliated reports are also accompanied by muted market reactions and larger price increases prior to the end of the quiet period when most affiliated analysts initiate coverage. The paper may be downloaded here: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2530109.
P2P Lending BasicsPosted in P2P Lending
Peer-to-peer, or person-to-person, lending ("P2P lending") is a type of crowdfunding that involves the facilitation of loan originations outside of the traditional consumer banking system by connecting borrowers directly with lenders, or investors, through an Internet platform. P2P lending's use of Internet platforms reduces costs by eliminating many operational expenses associated with traditional consumer bank loans, such as the cost of maintaining and staffing physical branches. Some cost savings are passed along to borrowers through lower interest rates than those offered by traditional banks. P2P lending platforms may be subject to certain consumer banking and related regulations, and the funding side of P2P lending platforms is subject to SEC regulation. For more information about P2P lending, how it works, current regulations and considerations, see our client alert, "P2P Lending Basics: How it Works, Current Regulations and Considerations," available at http://www.mofo.com/~/media/Files/UserGuide/2015/150129P2PLendingBasics.pdf.
Advisory Committee to Vote on Accredited Investor DefinitionPosted in Advisory Committee on Smaller and Emerging Companies
The SEC announced that its Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies will hold a public meeting on February 17 in order to vote on recommendations to the SEC regarding the definition of an "accredited investor." In prior posts, we noted that the Committee had discussed revisions to the current accredited investor definition in order to address, among other things, investor sophistication.
Matchmaking BasicsPosted in Matchmaking
"Matchmaking sites," also referred to as "matchmaking platforms," have come to play a more significant role in capital formation in recent years. A matchmaking site generally relies on the Internet in order to "match" or introduce potential investors to companies that may be interested in raising capital. However, in order to avoid the requirement to register with the SEC as a broker-dealer, a matchmaking site generally will limit the scope of its activities. The determination as to whether an entity is acting as a "broker" is complex. The SEC closely considers many criteria and the specific facts and circumstances. Generally, though, the SEC has attributed great significance to whether the entity receives transaction-based compensation. For more information about matchmaking sites, how they work, current regulations and key considerations, see our client alert, "Matchmaking Basics: How it Works, Current Regulations and Key Considerations," available at http://www.mofo.com/~/media/Files/UserGuide/2015/150129MatchMakingGuide.pdf.

- The proposed definition of "prepaid account," including the proposed coverage of digital wallets and P2P payment products, as well as potential carve-outs from those definitions;
- The extensive disclosure requirements detailed in the Proposed Rule, how such disclosure requirements would apply to prepaid accounts acquired through the Internet or on mobile devices, and whether E-SIGN Act requirements may apply; and
- Potential new mandates for providing consumers with access to prepaid account information and the impact such mandates could have on mobile payment product innovation and the delivery of account information.

House Passes Bill Implementing JOBS Act Changes (and Volcker Rule changes)Posted in JOBS Act News
Today, the House voted (271-154) to pass H.R. 37, titled "Promoting Job Creation and Reducing Small Business Burdens Act." Among other things, the bill includes a number of measures that correct issues arising in the JOBS Act, or that otherwise are intended to promote capital formation. For example, the bill:
Addresses the Exchange Act 12(g) threshold for savings and loan holding companies to align the provisions with those available to bank holding companies;
Clarifies the termination of EGC status;
Requires a study of XBRL requirements;
Provides an exception from adviser registration for advisers to SBICs and VC funds;
Permits issuers to submit a summary page on Form 10-K; and
Mandates time period during which the SEC must complete a Regulation S-K study and report intended to simplify disclosure requirements.

The Space
Tall ceilings, simple and comfortable furnishings make for a great base when in New York City. The wonderful deck opens to a quiet backyard, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine after a day full of discovery.
Saturday is the best day to start off with the Fort Greene farmers' market, at Fort Greene Park, a 10-minute walk. I like to go early in the morning, before 9am, where dogs can roam free in the park. Grab some fresh veggies and cook a mean omelette back at the apartment.
In the afternoon drop by the Brooklyn Flea, three blocks away, for knick knacks or vintage prints.
At night, you fall asleep to the sound of the ruffling leaves of the many old growth trees, and wake up to beautiful sun in the bedroom's east facing windows (there is a blackout shade, too!).
I love the Clinton Hill / Fort Greene neighborhood for its diversity of residents, great restaurants and bars, and laid back attitude.
Great neighborhood bars include Fulton Grand and Hot Bird, both with great craft beer selections, as well as cosy intimate bars for a good cocktail, The Mayflower Social, Hanson Dry.
Restaurant-wise, close by spots include Aita, for deliciously fresh italian fare, Salva Vida, a great taco spot, and all of the offerings of DeKalb's restaurant row (Roman's, General Greene, Ici, etc.).
There is a Citibike station right across the street, and the apartment is equidistant from the C and G train stops.
It's also an easy 10-minutes walk to BAM, Barclays Center, Atlantic Center for the 2,3,4,5,B,D,Q,N,R trains for the whole city, and LIRR for eastbound, Long Island day trips.
Wolfgang, my dog, lives with me and is a hypoallergenic Wheaten Terrier, but is away when I rent out the apartment.
Nothing specific to mention!
Make sure to leave the bedsheets and towels in the hamper, and things relatively tidy.
David's place is absolutely fantastic. I met up with a friend from the UK for New Year's Eve in NYC, and having this cozy, beautifully decorated apartment as our home base made the trip so relaxing. The neighborhood is awesome, with tons of great bars and restaurants nearby, and catching the train into Manhattan was super simple as well. David was great about communicating with me throughout the booking/check-in process, and even took time out of his travels in Asia to wish us a happy new year. The apartment has a fantastic open plan (as the listing title indicates), and it's a perfect place to come home to at the end of a long day of touring the city to cook, drink wine, and relax with a book or Netflix. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Hi to all.
We have a positive experience, the owner David was very helpfull and the apartment is very well.
We will think return in the future.
We strong recomend it.
Marisa y Carlos, from Uruguay
We had a beautiful time at David' place. We arrived very early in the morning (6:30am!) but David was willing let us drop off our bags and freshen up before we settled in to the apartment. He's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to local bars and restaurants, intuitively understanding what we'd be into and how we'd want to spend our time. He even gave us his jetpack for mobile wifi since we're from out of country and couldn't use our phones. The place was clean, the bed was heavenly, the decor was gorgeous. All in all, David was an incredibly lovely host. Really couldn't ask for more!
David's place was completely as described and more! Awesome apartment and in a fantastic neighbourhood (really close to two subway stations).
David was communicative and friendly, and offered advise and tips as requested.
I would absolutely stay again. We didn't want to leave.
Lovely apartment in charming neighborhood, easy to communicate with host, very clean and comfortable!
It is the perfect apartment. David is really helpful and uncomplicated. The neighbours are also very friendly. You can also use the couch to sleep on. The surrounding in Brooklyn is pretty nice and the subway is nearby to the flat. It is easy to drive to Manhatten or to the airport. If I come back, I will check in again.
David's apartment was great! Exactly as pictured, and David was a great host for my mom. He even bought her an iron and ironing board at her request before she checked in.

I have a bunch of photos of my past trips on flickr (user: humain), where there are also pictures of my a dog, Wolfgang. Too bad he can't join me when I travel abroad!


text: I am a globe-trotting entrepreneur who has stayed in a few airbnb rentals now so I thought it was about time I listed my own space and play host to people visiting Kitchener-Waterloo. It's where I call home even though I've been to over 60 countries. I've been told I'm an excellent hostess, and I'm a pretty easy-going house guest too.
