Propagating Philodendron Selloum
Our daughter gave my wife a P. selloum about 20 years ago. Well during the winter of 2007-2008 my wife left it on the enclosed sun porch without leaving the window open from the house so it would get heat. It restarted last year with a tiny green sprout from a root. After a year in rehab it has about 8-10 leaves now and is growing. How do I propagate more plants?
"Selloum" has been sunk into synonymy under Philodendron bipinnatifidum. Same plant but the name that is considered the correct name was published years before the name Philodendron selloum which makes it the correct name.
The species is a member of Philodendron subgenus Meconostigma and is not always easy to propagate. The subgenus Meconostigma contains all the Philodendron species we commonly call the "tree Philodendrons". You can do cuttings of the stem (which is not the support for any single leaf) at the base of the plant so long as there are nodes and aerial roots present. The easiest way is to simply top the plant above a node and take all the roots with the top cutting. That plant can then be potted and the old stem which is now leafless will eventually produce new leaves.
The stem is the central axis of the plant and provides support. The petioles that support the leaves grow from nodes along the stem. Unfortunately collectors often call the petioles that support the leaves the "stems" which is incorrect.
If you cut enough of the stem then you can divide it and plant the pieces on their sides and they should start new plants.
In time the plant should produce offsets around the base of the stem which can easily be divided and started in a new pot.
Since the plant is commonly produced via tissue culture it is often inexpensive in a nursery or department store. Generally it is faster to just buy another plant but if you are like me it is more fun to grow your own.

Goodbye SE Asia!
... as we were recovering from self-inflicted food poisoning on Christmas Eve! And New Year's Eve brought about 50,000 Cambodians to town for a televised Triple Celebrity Concert. And it was crazy. After our New Year's Eve dinner at our favorite restaurant we walked down to the concert area, where they'd been setting up for days, the street had been closed off, there was a carnival set up, plus all kinds of vendors from food and snow-cones and cotton candy to ...
Holiday Season spent in Florida!
... guns, so it was quite fun for my sister and me to shoot a bit! Another thing to remember when spending your holiday season in the U.S. is that thanksgiving and Christmas (which means 24th at 7 pm and the whole 25th!) are the only days in America no one (and I mean no one) is working! Every shop is closed and not even restaurants are opened! For that reason we have prepared ourselves with a last minute turkey and everything needed to stuff it. And if you're a fan of Christmas ...
Sunset Surprise
... it is presented in gift-form later this month... But we managed to actually put my camera to use for a few other fun shots, including several of a Great Blue Heron that landed just before sunset and started picking morsels out of the tidepools. What a majestic creature and utterly calm feel at that golden moment. Maybe it's because I kept my expectations low, but this trip has really been a picturesque, relaxing vacation so far.

... of sandwich I thought was still clean, but it sure was gritty. The sand here really is amazing and it makes the best sandcastles ever! It's like glue when it dries.
After this adventure, we headed home again to rest, but the grandparents decided to go check out the Selby Botanical Gardens. They came back with stories to tell about all the orchids, koi ponds, peaceful meditation spots, tropical birds, etc. After another trip to the Circus ...

The temperatures are slowly but surely warming up here in the Big Apple, thus my mind is gravitating toward Spring buys! Fast-fashion brand Mango has just released its March 2013 lookbook, full of great pieces for the season that won't break the bank.
The brand has a knack for hitting trends, yet producing highly functional and chic pieces: allowing us all to sport what's "hot" and to add some seasonal wares to our wardrobe without hitting the splurge button. For Spring, effortless dressing is on the menu with roomy blouses, slouchy high-waist pants, funky printed jackets and mini skirts, easy dresses, and more.
The palette is fairly muted, though shades like cherry red and baby blue add some flair to the designs.
The brand also sets the beauty look for the start of the season with sleek hair and red lips. My natural hair has a hard time staying straight once the temperature and humidity rise, but I'll probably give this a shot at least once!
I look to Mango for pieces that I can wear year-round, regardless of trends. Spring's printed button-front blouses, striped skinnies, statement necklaces, and collarless jackets are the styles from the brand that I will be stocking up on in the coming months.
Shop Mango's latest offerings here.
What do you think? Any pieces catch your eye?
loving that poppy colour! just the very thing to usher in a cherry spring! :-D
'cheery' ;-D
Sell the garments!
This will blow out of the stores, and for good reason.
Lovely pieces.
Omg I work at Mango and am pleasantly surprised to see this post. Gotta rep my store!!! :)
Me likey like!!! Definitely have to run over there for some Spring shopping!!!
I am a big fan of Mango. I have several pieces in my closet. The clothes run just like Zara. You just need to find what works for your body type and size. Great pieces for year round. Not many store fronts but they have MNG for JCP =)
always loved MANGO… simple great quality pieces for a bargainista like me:)
Ooh I love it! Very casual chic, very wearable and definitely all year round.
Very wearablevi like it
Love, love, love it! Great pieces, but very versatile

Blackberry Z10 Deals phoneslimited.co.uk/Blackberry/Z10.html
White Blackberry Z10 Offers: phoneslimited.co.uk/Blackberry/Z10+White.html
The Z10 is one of two new Blackberry smart phones to feature the new Blackberry 10 operating system which offers some great new features to existing and new Blackberry users, the other is the qwerty keyboard sporting Blackberry Q10.
The Blackberry Z10 is the manufacturers most advanced device to date and offers a 4.2 inch 768 x 1280 pixel 356PPI HD display, an 8 mega pixel camera with full HD video capture plus a 2 mega pixel front facing camera, 16GB of expandable memory, NFC support and 4G connection speeds on LTE networks.
One of the most impressive things about the Z10 is the new Blackberry Hub with deep social integration which pulls together friends & colleagues social interactions, contacts, diary and pictures for a streaming timeline of friends updates but also allows you to undertake multiple other tasks without actually leaving the hub application.
Blackberry 10 also introduces the new generation of the much loved Blackberry Messenger service which now allows for video calling as well as 'Screen Share' with which you can show your own screen to the caller helping you share information in a completely new way.

Silliest Movie Tease Ever [VIDEO]
A rainy day in Binghamton and I'm thinking about either catching a movie later or going through my movie vault and catching up on a few DVD's I haven't watched yet. Yes, a rainy day can be fun.

I think maybe Glenn Pitcher should watch this and take a lesson. Whenever he tries to do a celebrity impersonation, he ends up sounding like a Chinese Bill Clinton. Trust me, it's awful.
What's not awful is these celebrities who nailed the impersonations of other celebrities
Uh, oh! Dierks Bentley's got some 'splainin' to do!
Did you know that cherry pits contain cyanide? How about that Brazil nuts are radioactive? Pretty mind blowing business right there considering farmers market season is just about here and if you're like me, you'll be stopping your favorite farm stand a couple times a week to get fresh fruits and veggies.
Country music has some hot new songs out right now. HAWK listeners are right on target with what listeners want to hear nationally. Since last week's TOP 5 video post was so successful, I've decided to make this a weekly feature, whereas I will feature the most requested tunes of the week. This week, we have one returning song. See if you can pick it out of the bunch.
There's a reason this guy's a valet and not, say, a NASCAR driver or even a cabbie.
Stuart Edge is an average guy who had an idea and that idea has landed him on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, Good Morning America,CNN and many more.
I don't know about you, but for me it doesn't feel like summer until the sky lights up like the Fourth of July and there's no better place around to check out fireworks that after a Binghamton Mets game.
It was great hanging out with so many HAWK listeners yesterday. Nothing beats propping 2 huge speakers on top of the HAWK van and watch people sing and dance to the tunes. One thing I noticed more than anything is how people love the new Jake Owen hit, 'Beachin'
So I posted earlier this week about strange foods... I touched on this quickly and since then people have been asking me if i were in jail. NO! How did I learn to make this? I worked in private security in my 20's and an ex-con who was working in maintenance and I would talk about his experiences during our overnight lunch breaks

- Community Center - Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy
Fall 2010 // Smilja Milovanovic-Bertram, David Heymann - ProfessorsPartnered Project
The goal of this semester project was to design a community center as well as a connection between the hilltop and old town with the suburban sprawl and the train station.
Aerial Plan Montage.
The Etruscan gate, Cassero tower and Etruscan museum at the top of the hill represent the historic, civic and cultural center of the town. However, the economic and active center of the town has shifted towards the lower valley, where land is more plentiful and the train station is located. The center includes a gallery, lecture hall, cafe, and multi-purpose gathering rooms.
Photorender of Reopened Etruscan Gate.
Understanding the historic, economic, topographical and cultural context of the site was critical to the development of the project. The town of Castiglion Fiorentino, just an hour south of Florence by train, aims to increase tourism and bolster economic activity in the area by promoting the recently discovered Etruscan archeological site unearthed in the Cassero hilltop, as well as hosting annual Palio dei Rioni horse races and many other cultural festivals. Buses, cars, and motorbikes speed around the narrow and winding streets of the town; a safe pedestrian route from the train station to the Cassero was a key factor in designing this project.
Pastel Parti Drawing
As you walk down the Tuscan hill-town, you are led to wander along walls that follow parallel to the ancient streets. You catch glimpses of courtyards and pockets of what's to come. The project provides a plentitude of outdoor public spaces for community activities and for vendors to display their wares for the weekly street markets.
- Top: Photomontage; bottom: City masterplan and sections
Reopening the buried Etruscan gate was also a major design driver for our project. The Etruscan gate represents a portal to the cultural and historic past, in addition to being a threshold connecting the east and west.
- Axonometric sketch.
- Sketch of Courtyard, Sketch of Pedestrian Bridge
- Photorender looking West.

Dryer performance has changed. Why now?
Hoping an appliance repair person might give me their opinion on this. I have a Whirlpool electric dryer, about 23 years old. It's been a terrific dryer, never a problem. We've recently moved--and the performance of my dryer has gone significantly down hill. It was GREAT before we moved. Now it takes two full cycles on high to get the towels dry. First thing we did was fully clean the dryer vent run---it was VERY clogged. From the dryer, through the whole vent tube...took the whole thing apart and cleaned it. Yet, the performance still lags. The dryer venting run in the new home is significantly longer than in our previous home. Can this make a significant difference in how a dryer dries? I suppose it's possible that the dryer is failing, but it'd be an odd coincidence that it happened exactly when we moved. What do you think?? Do I need a new dryer or do you think the longer venting run is the culprit here? Any suggestions to improve drying? THANK YOU for sharing your opinions!!
Sounds like you also have a problem with intake air. A dryer needs a flow of air , the old location more than likely provided enough . Your new location sounds like it is well insulated and there is not enough flow of outside air.
Effectively what is happening is when the drying is running it is pulling all the air from the room, like sucking on a coke bottle , no matter how hard you try , you're not going to get any air unless you put a hole in it.
When showering I crack the window and door to allow for air flow. My kids complain that the mirrors stay fogged, gee dad you were right.
One other issue is the flexible dryer vent, the ridges on this pipe are detrimental to air flow. A rigid piece of duct work is much more efficient.
The lint clogs are an indication of poor air flow
Thanks for the excellent feedback. The flexible dryer venting is actually very short, just a few inches between dryer and the wall. The rest is a rigid venting run (yes, with an angle or two :-(.....and it was CLOGGED. OMG I'm surprised they didn't have a fire. Dryer sheet users, I'm guessing---it had that sticky feel. (I DON'T use them.) What should I think about to improve intake of air?
I don't think insufficient intake air is a source of the clogging. Even "tight" houses aren't usually restrictive for dryer functioning. Does the ducting pass through an unheated space? Cold exterior temps can cause moisture to condense inside the ducting, which leads to lint sticking. If so, insulating the ducting can help.
Electric booster fans are available, added in-line to the ducting to promote airflow ... and passing of lint.
Is there a window or door. Open it and see how long it takes for a load to dry, as compared what it takes now.If your garage is not super tight , you can run a duct from there to provide air flow. Do NOT vent drier into garage, mold. Some how you have to get more air into the room. A 4" duct supply should be suffice.
I have a suspicion that the previous owners had the same problem and tried to improve flow by removing the lint filter.
I am in no way an expert on this.. but another thought is.. did you happen to check the inside of your dryer? Is it possible it had some lint build up that got knocked loose during the move and it's restricting air flow now?...I remember reading on this forum once about the inside of the dryer venting getting clogged up with lint..
It is against code to vent into a garage or to vent through a garage without encasing that vent entirely in a drywall chase. Likewise no venting hole to supply makeup air should come from a garage area as well. Garages have cars that will produce carbon monoxide. And they also usually contain gasoline for small power equipment. So, you can see why safety codes prohibit penetrations between the garage and home.
When you cleaned the rigid exhaust pipe, did you also check the exhaust port itself? My dryer exhausts through a port that penetrates the roof and vents to the outside. Not only had my exhaust piping accumulated lint, the exhaust port itself was almost completely clogged. I scraped this lint buildup out of the port and my dryer performs much better.

73,388 had defaulted on payment in 2012-13 totalling Rs. 3,859 crore
In a polite and non-adversarial warning to defaulters, the Income-Tax Department on Wednesday asked self-assessment taxpayers to clear their dues by March 31, 2013 or face penal action.
In a statement here, the Finance Ministry said that an analysis of income-tax returns filed electronically in the current financial year (2012-13) has revealed that 73,388 taxpayers have defaulted on such payments aggregating to Rs. 3,859 crore.
Holding out a warning to this section of assessees, the statement said: "Filing a return without paying the admitted amount of tax that is payable will render such taxpayer an 'assessee in default' under the provisions of the Income-Tax Act. Such taxpayers who default in payment of self-assessment tax may invite penal consequences."
"Income-tax Department urges all taxpayers who have filed their returns in the current financial year and [those who] have defaulted on payment of self-assessment tax, to immediately come forward and pay the due taxes before March 31, 2013," it said.

A recap of the 2015 TCM Film Festival.
NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
Amos Poe's "Frogs for Snakes" is not a film so much as a filmed idea. That could be interesting, but alas it is a very bad idea. The film is about a group of Manhattan actors who support themselves between roles by acting as gangsters and hit men, and as the film opens they turn their guns on one another. This is a movie that gives new meaning to the notion of being willing to kill for a role.
Barbara Hershey stars as a waitress and debt collector who used to be married to crime kingpin Al (Robbie Coltrane), who doubles as a theater producer and is preparing a production of David Mamet's "American Buffalo." She and several other characters spend much of their time hanging out in a diner and talking about absent friends. So much time is spent in the diner, indeed, that "Frogs for Snakes" begins to resemble a one-set play, until there are excursions to pool halls, apartments and even a theater.
Sample dialogue, from a pool hall: "What are you doing here?" "We heard you were doing `True West.' " "Well, you heard wrong. We're doing `American Buffalo.' " [Shoots him.] Not a single one of the characters is even slightly convincing as anything other than an artificial theatrical construction. Is that the point? I haven't a clue. Much of their dialogue is lifted intact from other movies, sometimes inappropriately (Lisa Marie plays a buxom sex bomb who recites Harry Lime's speech about cuckoo clocks from "The Third Man"). Other speeches come from "Night and the City," "Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll," "The Hustler," "The Apartment," "Repo Man," "I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang" and several more. (The film ends by crediting the screenplays, just as most films end with a scroll of the songs on the soundtrack.) "Today they write dialogue about cheeseburgers and big special effects," one of the characters says, contrasting the quoted classics with "Pulp Fiction." Yes, but Tarantino's cheeseburger dialogue is wonderful comic writing, with an evil undercurrent as the hit men talk while approaching a dangerous meeting; no dialogue in this movie tries anything a fraction as ambitious or risks anything.
Seeing the cast of familiar actors (not only Hershey and Coltrane, but also Harry Hamlin, Ian Hart, Debi Mazar, John Leguizamo and Ron Perlman), I was reminded of "Mad Dog Time" (1996), another movie in which well-known actors engaged in laughable dialogue while shooting one another. Of that one, I wrote: " `Mad Dog Time' is the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time." Now comes "Frogs for Snakes," the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of "Mad Dog Time."

President Nikias addresses Mexico's Council of Foreign Relations
Topics: News
Hghlighting the potential of educational diplomacy, USC President C. L. Max Nikias spoke this morning to members of Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales (COMEXI), Mexico's Council of Foreign Relations. COMEXI's members include foreign and Mexican diplomats, industry leaders, elected officials and various government and non-governmental organizations.
In his remarks, Nikias stressed the important and evolving role research universities will play in supporting and promoting global partnerships and development and described the initiatives USC is undertaking to be at the center of this international push.
"Today, we're seeing a seismic shift in the way private research universities like USC contribute to global innovation," Nikias said. "Increasingly, it is up to individual universities to establish their own networks and create their own collaborations to benefit their institutions as well as society as a whole."

"Good Heavens, Just Look At The Time" is an image macro series used as a trolling or threadjacking device in forum and imageboard threads. The macro consists of a clock with numbers replaced by a word or image and is most commonly used as a warning before flooding the thread with the said content.
While there are no screenshots available of the original post, most anecdotal accounts and Google Insights data suggest that the meme originated on 4chan with the "Rape Clock" image macro posted in late 2007:
This particular instance depicts the monster character "Pyramid Head" from Silent Hill 2 pointing at the clock with the word "rape" written all over, with the caption reading: "Good Heavens, Just Look at the Time." The macro is almost always used to imply that the thread is doomed.

[IMAGE]Virginia-Tech-Smart-Way-Bus-full.jpg[/IMAGE]Commuting at Virginia Tech is getting smarter — in a big way. The Smart Way commuter bus service based in Roanoke, Va., introduced a larger, 57-seat motorcoach manufactured by Motor Coach Industries (MCI) that will replace the current fleet of 32-seat buses traveling between Roanoke, Christiansburg and Blacksburg.The new, 45-foot-long MCI coaches feature more space, additional luggage capacity, lumbar seating, overhead luggage bins, wireless Internet access, six 10-inch video monitors and LED lighting. Buses also feature a wheelchair lift and bike rack. The bus was introduced Thursday during events in Roanoke and Blacksburg. "Virginia Tech is excited to support the launch of the Smart Way motorcoach," said Sherwood Wilson, vice president of administrative services for Virginia Tech. "Our students will appreciate the extra room and luggage space when they travel to and from the airport, and our staff, faculty and visitors will enjoy an even better ride to campus." Smart Way ridership is up 6.2 percent this year, and officials say they believe the new buses will help to drive additional demand. Through October, 48,927 commuters have traveled the Smart Way this year alone — an average of 4,892 per month. Since Smart Way began in 2004, the number of commuters is up nearly 150 percent. "The Smart Way has been recognized for providing quality and convenient service that helps to reduce traffic along Interstate 81, saves our riders commuting costs, and contributes to our region's increasing focus on sustainability," said Carl Palmer, general manager of Greater Roanoke Transit, the company operating Valley Metro and Smart Way. "Our new motorcoaches will enhance that service by offering larger coaches with greater capacity for a more comfortable ride to connect the valleys." Four buses are joining the Smart Way fleet. Each bus costs $490,000, paid for through federal, state, and local sources. The new motorcoaches are scheduled to begin servicing the valleys on Jan. 4, 2010. "Commuters are seeing the benefits and value of taking the Smart Way to travel between Roanoke and the New River Valley," said Beverly T. Fitzpatrick Jr., executive director of the Virginia Museum of Transportation and chair of the Smart Way Advisory Committee. "This larger bus, with all the latest amenities and technology, reflects our region's efforts to embrace public transportation."
Students at the university's "Startup Shell," a collaborative space and technology incubator, may compete in business competitions for potential investor grants from Uber. The partnership will also include mentoring opportunities and the creation of an "innovation council," which will include students, faculty and staff, for crowdsourcing and development.
Matt Carpenter has more than 15 years of experience in the transit industry, including the past eight as CEO of Strathcona County Transit in the Edmonton area. He has a master's degree in urban planning from the University of Michigan, where he studied from 2001 to 2003.
Executive Order 8 addresses Illinois' fiscal crisis by recommending that state agencies require employees, whenever possible, to take public transportation or carpool when traveling. The state hopes this action will reduce travel reimbursements in gas money.
The university recently issued an RFQ and is evaluating potential locations. Four of its new buses are powered by CNG, and the school says it sees a benefit to converting more of its vehicles to alternative fuels.
In his new role, Jerry Rineer works with Villanova students who have mobility issues, providing support for them as they make their way across the 254-acre campus. The private university, which has a total enrollment of about 10,700, has a large fleet of vans and other vehicles to serve its students.

I did not make this headline up
would be a whole hell of a lot shorter than the list of people who had optimal bodies for their position and ended up dominant.
It's tough because Knight and Parker are NSD decisions. We'll see what happens. I don't think we have any more big recruiting weekends coming up. So now we wait
but i'd take this guy: http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=7632
This kid is worse than Vinopal!!
i wonder if we can retroactively pull his scholarship and give it to dillon baxter, who clearly deserves it more.
When I first heard of Vinopal committing and looking at his numbers, I immediately thought of Jim Leonhard. The starting safety for the NYJ at 5'8" 185 lbs. The kid walked on at Wiscy and turned into an NFL starter. I'm not concerned with "stubby arms or short legs."
Obviously I'm not saying Vinopal will be Leonhard, but I actually want to see this kid at Michigan and don't want to see him pushed away for another commit.
I'm not concerned with "stubby arms or short legs."
thankfully, neither is my girlfriend.
At least it's just your arms and legs! :)
Aggressively, relentlessly, savagely defend this coaching staff and this incoming class from all who would tear them down!
I can't wait for the Spring game!
The frequent bashing of Vinopal drives me nuts. Safety has been THE worst performing position at Michigan in the past 15 years and we want to turn this guy away? A guy who is a natural safety (unlike most of the position-switchers we've used for years). He's a legit 5'11" with legit 4.5 speed. He was all-state in Ohio. He's smart and hard working. Sure, let's show him the door because we saw a picture of him where it looked like his arms were slightly short. Geez.....
We need all the safeties we can get. I don't know why RR said 26 is the limit and not 28, but I also know that he said 25 was the limit three weeks ago. It will all work out without having to yank Ray's scholarship - just enjoy the ride.
And why don't guys like Jones or Williamson get the same treatment in the forums? I like having Jones as an insurance policy and long term project but he's our 4th string QB or at best MIGHT switch to a totally unfamiliar position and beat out about ten other guys for PT. Who cares? Let's celebrate who wants to help revive this program!
I agree with you completely. Let's be positive.
The 2008 and 2009 seasons have been hard on the soul. Let's have some positivity and optimism when the games are far in the future.
"AC1997;" I'm under the opinion that RR's limit of 25 last week 26 this week and who knows what # next week is to get the last few high profile recruits we're in on to get on board sooner rather than later so we can shore up this recruiting class before NSD; if at all possible.
As for all the others worrying about #'s I seriously doubt we have anything to worry about in the event Dorsey, Parker, and Baxter all wanted to commit; as we'd find room one way or another without having to leave anyone on the outside looking in. I'm also of the opinion that in the event someone was forced to greyshirt that tidbit would have been fully disclosed to them @ the time of their offer and/or commitment by the staff.
Based on ratings, Vinopal and Jones should probably be the #4 players at their positions (barring any commitments).
So would you rather have a 4th-string QB or a 4th-string safety? I'll take the 4th-string QB first.
On top of that, Denard Robinson is probably headed for a different position in 2011. So we'd better hope that Jones can be a #3 quarterback.
No matter what you may or may not think of the recruit, the truth is it doesn't matter. Rich Rod and staff have made an offer for these kids to get an education at the University of Michigan while playing some football. Once they accept, it is a done deal. It is an honor to be accepted into the University and it is a priviledge to put on the maize and blue. To all commits, welcome, and we, like our coaches believe you will do our school proud both on and off the field.
Go Blue!
Wouldn't telling a kid who wore a Michigan sweathsirt at a team function IN OHIO thanks, but no thanks, weeks before NSD pretty much burn any ties with his program? (In addition to being a shitty thing to do.) Isn't Cardinal Mooney a pretty good program that turns out players? I am not a big follower of recruiting so I could be missing something here. The above are honest questions, but it seems like good reasons why not to hose Ray Vinopal over. (In addition to common decency.)
"The Fannman;" You are correct in Mooney being a premier football program in the state of Ohio. Mooney is currently tied with Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller for the most D3 Football Titles and only trail D1 Cleveland St. Ignatius by 3 titles for the program with the most titles overall in the state of Ohio.
Mooney's Title Years:
(2009, 06, 04, 87, 82, 80, 73)
I'm not in Mich, but following the media suggests that jg2112's comment should be spraypainted all over I-94:
Notice the number of de-commits this year, when his program and recruiting philosophy has been in place?
Right on. Rip. Shit. Up.
It seems that offensive players tend to commit before defensive guys. I've heard it said before, and it seems to be true for the most part.
That's partly because offensive players develop sooner than defensive guys and, therefore, get offered sooner.
A big part of playing defense is understanding the game, aligning properly, diagnosing plays quickly, etc. Sophomore players tend not to have enough experience to do those things extremely well.
Meanwhile, running backs and, to a lesser extent, receivers are very instinctual positions. If you have "It", you have "It" as a sophomore or a junior. A lot of good quarterbacks have quarterback coaches from a young age. When's the last time you saw a middle linebacker have a middle linebacker coach in seventh grade?
I appreciate the explanation, even if you were 'splainin' a point I was trying to make. Thanks. +1
Ray Vinopal has short little alligator arms and stubbly little legs. Stubby arms and stubby legs. Both will limit his range and effectiveness.
A defensive player's arm reach is very very important. That is why scouts often comment on the wingspan of a player. That is often the difference between a play being made and a play being missed.
Vinopal was okay as a throw-in if we were running out of committable "elite prospects" on our board. But now with Parker and Knight still on the board, Vinopal has to go. No room for career backups.
Is Ray going out for the basketball team too?
Then I dont give two shits about his wingspan.
This thread is so full of fail it brought a tear to my eye.
It's 25, as Drake's not going to cut it. It might even be 24, as Kinard might not cut it either (notice that we have 5 DE/Q's committed right now...).
It seems as though the last scholarship (#26) will go to either Sean Parker or Rashad Knight. Then if another opens up, there are several positions we are still hitting hard, and a couple of prospects that we might be able to make room for:
#1) OL: Nichols. He's listed on rivals big board right now. Big high school TE. Might be worth a schollie!?
#2) NT: Beachum/Thornton. Haven't heard from Beachum in a long time. It sure would be nice to land a legit NT.
#3) ILB: Dorsey/Thomas/Mehrer *If Jake Ryan is being recruited as an ILB...then he beat out these three for the ILB schollie.
#4) Studs: Baxter-SB, Black-DE *EDIT - sounds like we're just not that into grimes.

Well hello again.
Come back when you can't stay as long...
Folks, I'm a double alum and a diehard fan. I live out west, but follow UM football daily. Still, I need someone smarter and more informed than me to explain how one can feel good about this 2010 recruiting class. All we've heard for the past 2 years is how we need talent. And now we follow it up with what's probably our worst recruiting class in two decades. It used to be that our average recruit was a 4 star. Now it's a 3 star. And that's no way to compete for conference, much less national, championships. Especially with glaring needs at almost every position. I know there are gems in there, like Gardner (God bless him for enrolling early). But is there anything to suggest that we can feel good about the direction of this team, as a whole, from a recruiting standpoint?
You wrote:
All we've heard for the past 2 years is how we need talent. And now we follow it up with what's probably our worst recruiting class in two decades.
I retort:
Scout has the 2010 class at #9. That is higher than Scout's final rankings of Michigan's 2002, 2007, and 2009 classes, and equals the 2006 class.
Just stop it.
Last year RR brought in the best players from Michigan (BWC), Ohio (Turner), Arizona (Roh and Lewan) and NJ (LaLota). That's leaving out Gallon, Toussaint, Emilien, V. Smith, Je'Ron Stokes, and Quentin Washington. And, uh, remember Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson?
This year - he's pulled 8 of the top 75 players in Ohio, he's pulled the #3 CB in the country (Cullen Christian), the NUMBER ONE DUAL THREAT QB, a center absolutely coveted by Florida State, wide receivers being recruited by Florida (R. Miller) and LSU (Jeremy Jackson), a top level DT (Dick Ash), the punter they wanted (Hagerup), and top level safeties in tow (M-Rob, Carvin, Vinopal) and on deck (Sean Parker).
So yeah, if you don't see the positivity, you're not looking at the class. At all. The class is NINTH BEST IN THE COUNTRY. Obviously your standards are a little bit exacting.
This is a great recruiting class. I think people get too wrapped up in the number of stars the recruit has. Keep in mind players like Mike Hart, Braylon Edwards, AJ Hawk and James Lauranitis were all 3 star recruits and look how they performed.
I'm not taking issue with the class of '09 and I don't deny that underrated recruits can and often do turn out to be great. Still, I am grateful for the question I posed and the enlightening discussion it generated. I clearly need to be reading more Scout and less of everything and everyone else that has our '10 class in the cellar. There is another minor issue here. Is our coaching staff capable of making the most of this awe-inspiring, 3 star talent, so underwhelmingly recruited by other bcs schools? If mistakes, dismal second halves and the downward trajectory of last season is any indication, how can the answer to that question be a 'yes'? Finally, are those of us that point out the obvious 'full of fail' because we expect the leaders and the best to act like the leaders and the best? Or is it the serial apologists that are full of fail because they perpetuate our beloved program's single biggest flaw: a culture of utter complacency? Don't get me wrong, there is a time and place for the rah, rah, rah. It's called football Saturdays. But it strikes me that, given the current state of the program, the offseason (especially the recruiting season) ought to be a time for some critical self reflection. Thoughts?
