how could you not have oklahoma state in your bracket? they are number 25 in the rankings yet not one of the top 64 teams? makes no sense
John, we go through this every year. The rankings and the NCAA Tournament process are not the same. Rankings are not one of the criterion officially considered. Sure, the committee (and myself) look at them, but that don't hold much wait.
I'm a commentator for Marist Student Radio (WMAR). We had a spirited debate on Tuesday whether or not a 1 or 2 loss MAAC season for the Red Foxes would really improve their standing in either the polls or Bracketology with any significance. Barring a MAAC sweep, is Marist going to hover around an 11?
I would say if Marist dropped a couple of games in the MAAC then nothing better than an 11 would come the Red Foxes way.
Who are the teams on your short-list of national championship contenders at this point in the season?
UConn, Baylor, Stanford are the very short list. Duke and Tennessee are right there, but in a tournament setting I have my reservations about them. Duke's offense is just not good and that will cost them eventually. TN still seems to be missing the "IT" factor. Hard to put my finger on it, but something small seems missing.
With the improved play by mid-majors, at this point should we be still rewarding the BCS conferences with 5-8 bids, or should there be two bids to some additional mid-majors, like the MAC, for example
David, I wrote about this a little last week. Frankly, there hasn't been improved play by the mid-majors. Marist, MTSU, BG have had good NC seasons, but not many others. I have trouble lumping the A-10 schools in the same category, but you could also say Xavier and Duq, but there aren't many qualified so-called mid-majors out there for at-large bids.
Do you think the baylor lady bears deserve to be#1?AND DO YOU THINK THEY CAN BEAT UCONN AT THEIR OWN GAME NOW THAT THE LADY HUSKIES ARE NUMBER 2?
I suppose Baylor belongs at #1. I don't put a ton of stock in the rankings, but, as we saw earlier in the season, there doesn't appear to be much difference between Baylor and UConn.
What is your track record as compared to Lunardi? Do you two ever compare notes or have an accuracy competition? :)
We really don't. Joe is a good friend and has been for a long time, but there isn't really a competition of any kind. He's been a little better than me most seasons, but I think last year we were even.
Hey Charlie, Georgia Tech is 12-4 with losses to UConn, Tennessee, Georgetown and at Old Dominion. They have an RPI of 30 and a SOS of 52, yet you have them as a 9 seed. Oklahoma is 12-3 with losses at Ohio State, at Arkansas and at TCU, and a RPI of 91 and a SOS of 193. Why no love for the Jackets?
Remember at this stage of the game RPI and SOS don't hold as much wait. People still argue all day long of the merits of RPI over a full season let alone at this time. Those numbers carry a lot of weight, but it's less so now than it will be. And also don't focus on who teams have lost to as much as whom they have beaten. Anyone can lose a game.
What is your take on Lady Vols? Also who is this surprising undefeated team Florida Gulf Coast? Are they any good? James Madison is an at large bid? How? :) Also is Samford an underrated mid major team? How do they do in conference and your opinion on them. Also here are a few more teams I would like to know your opinion about... Georgia Tech, Eastern Michigan, Wisconsin Green Bay, UCSB, Oregon State, Syracuse, Texas Tech, and St. Bonaventure. I follow these teams very closely. I would like to know your opinion on them? It would be great for an expert to give me their take! Thanks, Gary! :)
There is a lot there Gary, so I'll pick out a few things. Love GB. SU needs to do something in the BE. The OHio State win only carries them so far without something else. Georgia Tech is good, solid, but I still don't think will finish in the ACC's top-three. James Madsion was not an at-large. JMU was the AQ from the CAA.
Oh and Florida Gulf Coast has actually been good for a few seasons now. It's just that they aren't yet NCAA Tournament eligible. They are in the 4th and final year of their D1 probationary period. No doubt FGCU would have represent the A-Sun at some point if the Eagles had been eligible.
do you think lsu will get a higher seed come ncaa tournament time?
I'm really not sure. I think they are going to be up and down. The SEC is never easy and this LSU team doesn't have traditional LSU talent.
What does Rutgers have to do now that conference play is beginning to make the field?
RU had better have a very good BE season. The tough scheduling may have finally caught up to Coach Stringer. They were only a 9 seed last year and they didn't win enough in the NC this year. The Georgetown win was a nice start, but I'm going to say 10 wins before the conversation really gets serious about them and there had better be some high profile conference wins in there too.
Do you think baylor and uconn will meet in the ncaa title game this year?
They would be my choices now if I had to choose.
What is your take on the undefeated teams still left so far?
I mentioned Duke a little already. Love that D and rebounding, but that offense sets basketball back a couple of decades. You have to be able to better score in the tournament to win the whole thing. WVA may be similar. Great D, but not sure if there are enough scorers to get to a Final Four. UNC is a bit of a mystery, but will begin to see more of what the Tar Heels are in the next two weeks. At GTech tonight is a good start. A shame we won't get FGCU in the tournament yet again.
What would you say are the odds of your current bracket holding up until March?
Slim to none and slim just bought his bus ticket out of town.
Remember, a lot of the AQ's won't even hold up to the next bracket when there are actual conference games. In many of the smaller leagues it's a combination of overall record and RPI to break ties when there are no conference games yet. But that's part of what makes it fun. It provides the "What if" factor.
Um, Charlie, let me get this straight. Notre Dame has three losses: by 11 on the road at your #1 Baylor (same margin as Baylor/Tennessee), by 5 on the road at your #3 seed Kentucky, and by 3 at home in double OT against your #3 seed UCLA, and you seed ND #6 behind a 10-4 Ohio State team with several head scratching losses and BEHIND Michigan State who got POUNDED by Baylor and whose strength of schedule is 50 places behind ND? Does ND's strong showing on the road last night against a tough Marquette team do anything to convince you that maybe you've seeded ND a little low? Or do they have to beat UConn this Saturday to satisfy you that they're for real?
Steve, your bring up some decent points, but remember, anyone can lose. Yes, ND schedule has been good, but where are the meaningful wins? Ohio STate at least BEAT LSU and Oklahoma. Michigan State BEAT a solid Dayton team, plus FSU and Texas.
is there any ulm games on the espn family of networks schedule for next year?
Off the top of my head I don't know, but my guess is probably not until the Sun Belt Tournament.
Is this year Coach M at Duke finally meets expectations?
I'm assuming you mean Coach P unless there is some news on a coaching change I missed. I would say they could reach a Final Four, but that offense, and it isn't just shooting, HAS to get better.
Last year the committee gave more at-large bids to mid-majors than usual and they did quite well, with only the WAC going winless among multi-bid mid-majors. Meanwhile, major conference teams with seeds worse than #8 went 0-4. Will this year's committee take that into account when determining who gets in?
You would think that a journalist could spell weight.
No, past tournament results don't play in at all, plus they aren't measuring conferences, just teams.
Does Stanford end up with a #1 seed at the end of the year?
I think it's a strong possibility.
I have a comment to make about your comment to Georgia Tech and the Oklahoma question. Georgia Tech has beaten so many better teams than Oklahoma has even faced.. I don't get your comment because if it goes by Georgia Tech's wins than they have beat Georgia, @ Portland State, neutral site Missouri, MTSU, Northwestern.
You may have something Ken, but let's not get carried away. Missouri? Portland State?
So you mentioned up there about Florida Gulf Coast... do you think that if they get past all their conference teams in regular season than I am sure make it to the wnit.. Do you think they could win it all?
I don't see why not.
do you think tennessee is one of the sec teams to watch closely?
They always are, right?
Honest opinion on Maryland's Schedule? After the 06 National Title, and good recruiting classes regularly, don't you think it was time for Frese to start scheduling this team National?
It could be better, but this had been a young team and I understand scheduling to your roster in some seasons or periods for a program.
I know this team needs to win their conference tournament to get in but how would you say the intensity has changed from the beginning of the season to now with UC Santa Barbara?
Well they are certainly playing better, but the results may have as much to do with the schedule getting easier. And, yes, the Gauchos will need to win the Big West tourney.
Which of Oklahoma's wins are you so impressed with that they merit a 6 seed at this point? The 3-pt home win over RPI #58 New Mexico? Or was it their lone road win over RPI #218 UW-Milwaukee? Or are you banking on Whitney Hand's return? It doesn't seem to be paying off so far based on their recent road loss at RPI #74 TCU. Nothing against the Sooners and maybe they do end up that high at the end of the day but that one has me scratching my head at this point.
You may have a point on OK. Perhaps they aren't a bit too high, but let's not get carried away. It's not like the teams behind them are lining up with huge credentials either. I'll be very interested in the OU-Neb game this weekend.
Can Minnesota get in the big dance this year
It's going to be difficult at this point. 0-3 in the BT is a big hole. They would have to go on a tear at this point. Longshot at very best.
Florida is right there, but not quite right now. That loss to Brown will hurt, no doubt, as will the Hampton loss. Florida's fate now comes down to the SEC season. The NC with the Gators didn't tell us enough.
Geno is coming out in supporting Diana Taurasi on her drug testing. Will Geno be in trouble with the basketball world? Geno will not waiver in his support for his players.
I doubt he will be in any trouble with the basketball world. Anyone can respect someone who has the back of their friends and colleagues. The shocking story would have been if he HADN't come out in full support.
I live in Athens but I am a huge Georgia Tech fan. I was reading what the others posted about Georgia Tech and what you said. I believe Missouri beat Georgetown this year... I know they are not the best but still that has to count for something. Portland St. did beat a good Tulane team. I just don't understand how Oklahoma deserves a better seed still hard to comprehend.
Some have made what I would consider valid points on OU, but we're getting carried away on Georgia Tech. Portland STate is 7-6. Missouri is 8-6. Sure they each have a decent win, but if GTech is building it's resume on that, it's a poor case.
I understand that logic, Mr. Creme. Maryland even with the bulk of her National Championship roster back, for at least two years, still arranged weak OOC schedules. As a fan I just thought it was a prime opportunity to go National with the schedule.
You may be right and it may be. Perhaps next year. This team is still young, the ACC is a huge challenge and they did play Gtown, St. John's, and an at least solid St. Joe's team. Purdue is a good opponent on paper, so it wasn't terrible.
Let me ask this... Oklahoma state is okay... How does Texas Tech get no respect when clearly they have played better and beat better opponents than OK State. Am I correct?
Not at all sure what you mean. Texas Tech was in the latest field and Okla St. was not.
Yes but Georgia Tech beat Georgia, MTSU, and Northwestern? Doesn't that count for something when comparing to Oklahoma? I mean that's all I am trying to say.
Of course and Georgia Tech got in the field as a 9. I've acknowledged that OU might be too high, but I don't think I've misrepresented Tech at all.
Ok. I'll have to wrap it up there. Good stuff today. Always love the chats and looking forward to the next one. Keep looking for the bracket updates and enjoy the first full weekend of conference play.

Critic's Review
Zuckerello's is a friendly neighborhood restaurant with good food and a friendly staff. That being said, if you're not a regular you may feel out of place.
Zuckerello's seems backwards. You walk in on a Wednesday night, and all of the tables are empty. You get to the bar and their isn't a seat available. And its not business people eating alone at the bar; its just where the "scene" is. Now sometimes that's a good thing, but here the scene is 65 and over. Maybe 70 and over. These are the "regulars" who come here for a social scene. I'm not sure who all of the people in the video on their web site are; but they're not the people who dine here.
There's a nice big oval bar in the back with a couple of big screen TVs; the Heat jump-->game was on.
At 8:30 many of the blue hairs have gone home to bed, so you can usually get a seat at the bar. I'd checked the menu and decided on the veal parmesan; a "specialty" listed for $20. They start you off with a basket of crusty bread with a cup of "garlic oil", which is really a cup of chopped garlic in oil. They're sort of like garlic rolls with the garlic on the side. I like it better this way than getting rolls dripping in too much garlic; you can choose how much garlic you want here. A runner brought out the veal parm; they don't leave any space on the plate here.
Everything is served with "daily vegetables", which don't really go with veal parm and spaghetti. Zucchini, squash and carrots; those veggies you spent most of your childhood trying to avoid. The veal is pretty good; pounded thin, breaded with enough cheese. The sauce here is only so-so, but overall this is pretty solid food. I ate about half of it. Considering the bread and vegetables it's certainly a meal and a half for $20. The lady sitting next to me ordered the snapper "Lionello" and it looked darn good.
Zuckerello's is perhaps best known for their early bird special, From 4pm to 6pm, they offer most of their menu for the regular dinner price and add a choice of soup or salad, coffee or tea and key lime pie. You can forget about getting a seat at the bar.

I joined the Inquirer as its restaurant critic in 1998, after a stint covering the food beat for the Times-Picayune in New Orleans. Having eaten about 500 restaurant meals a year here ever since, I never cease to be amazed by the diversity and sophistication of Philadelphia's kitchens. To travel from its many authentic ethnic neighborhoods to the gastronomic temples of Walnut Street to its beery gastropubs, cozy BYOBs and multitude of greasy-but-great steak joints, is to know this town delivers satisfaction at every level of the food chain. Including online dish.

This location was perfect for us! It is close to everything we wanted to do and we didnt have to worry about traffic nearly as much as we normally do on our visit. I would definitely recommend this property!
I stayed here just briefly for a business trip and it was great. Pleasant apartment, very convenient location, easy access to MARTA and airport.
We stayed here from April 1, 2014 to May 31, 2014. Location is great, apartment is clean, the building seemed safe and the concierge helpful. The owner of the unit was easy to reach and addressed our one issue promptly and effectively! We would happily stay here again when we return to Atlanta.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for two weeks. The rooms are well furnished and have everything we need. The front desk lady of the building is very friendly and helpful. We even got a cart to help us move in. Michael is a very helpful host as well. The room is very clean and we even got a parking pass right behind the building. There is a CVS, MARTA station and food court within 5 minutes walk. Overall, it is located in the center of everything!
It was an easy weekend in downtown Atlanta staying in this property. It was clean and we had no problems. We would stay here again in the future!!
My husband and I decided at the last minute to visit Atlanta last weekend. I begin my search for lodging and checked out other condos and hotels. We decided upon Michael's unit because it how convenient it was to everything. So in about a 24 hour period we viewed his unit online and booked it. I've done this in the past and not have had the best experiences. Our experience at Michael's condo was AMAZING. We really felt like we were at home. He thought of every convenience and make sure we had it available to us. My husband was insisting I write this review so that everyone could now how enjoyable our stay was. What a value we found. We certainly will rent again. We are in the process of relocating to Atlanta and will contact him again as we continue our house search.

Hi: 13° Lo:3°
By Chris Willmott Thursday 15 November 2012 Updated: 19/11 11:02
PEOPLE living close to HS2 railway line can find out full details about the compensation available.
A series of meetings will be held at location along the route between London and Birmingham over the next few weeks.
Representatives from HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport will discuss the scheme which would give homeowners the option of selling their house to the government at market value plus 10 per cent up to £47,000 as compensation.
There will also be a voluntary purchase scheme for homes immediately outside the so-called safeguarded area to be sold at market value and a hardship scheme for people affected during the building process.
Consultation meetings take place in this area at:
- Burton Green Village Hall on Saturday, November 17.
- The Kenilworth Centre in Kenilworth on Tuesday, December 11.
- Loft at the Bluebell Centre in Chelmsley Wood on Thursday, November 29.
- The Sanctuary in Castle Vale on Tuesday, November 20.
HS2 will be built in two phases with the section from London to the West Midlands expected to open in 2026 with the second section to Manchester and Leeds and connection to Heathrow in 2032-33.
Alison Munro, chief executive of HS2 Ltd, said: "We do understand the impact it will have on people living close to the line and the Government has recently published a range of property compensation measures for consultation.
"The information events we are running are an opportunity for those directly affected to come and discuss the proposals in more detail with our property teams."

Do not order from Boyer Nurseries
I'm not sure if any of you order from Boyer Nurseries or not, but I have had the displeasure of dealing with them twice. They told me I was not going to be charged for shipping and packaging as I was getting a replacement tree from one they sent me that was DOA last spring. Well guess what... My bill arrived and of course I was charged. I spoke to them and explained when I placed the order I was told I would not be charged and that I was very clear and was told clearly I would not be charged. Their feeble attempt at justifying this was they sent an invoice saying I would be charged shipping. I never received an invoice and dont think this is accurate. Bottom line is they said yes you were misinformed about the charges but you still need to pay. Wonderful way to do business. They are expensive to boot. If you order from them be very careful. I would not recommend doing business with people like this. The trees I received were very very leafed out, more so than trees I received from another order.

Giant Sunflowers - Watering
Hello everyone,
I am growing a bunch of diferent giants this year, from PandPseed.com, Vivaverde, and Ripley's. I am growing for height. Does anyone have any special suggestions for setting up watering? My seeds are going in soon, but I'm already thinking of how to water them. I've seen a site where they suggest digging a trench around the sunflowers so as not to flood the base of the flower when you water, but does anyone else have any good ideas? Does anyone recommend putting the milk cartons in the ground beside them or drip systems?
Yes, using a trench is a great way of keeping your sunflowers watered. I do something similar, but I like to call it mounding. Basically, I order a truck load of mulch and composted manure, and every week, or two weeks, I put the manure and mulch around the sunflower with a diameter about as large as distance across the sunflower; so it's the same as the plant's drip line. As the sunflower grows larger, the mound gets larger as well, and if spaced correctly, it forms trenches around all of the sunflowers. The only thing you have to be careful of is making too much of an incline on your mound. If your incline is too steep then the soil can wash away leaving roots exposed. This is a lot of work, but there are some benefits to doing it this way. You generally don't have to stake your plants, because they have such firm base. It promotes increased and deeper rooting. Constant supply of nutrients through the additional adding of composted manure each week.
I definitely recommend not overwatering your plants for at least a month after first emerging. Too much watering will create a shallow root system, which you will pay for in the hottest days of summer. Usually I give my sunflowers one heavy watering a week for the first month. After the first month I give my sunflowers shallow watering nearly every day, and sometimes more, depending on the weather. Bernard Lavery, in his book, Bernard Lavery's Secrets of Giant Sunflowers, mentions experiments with a polythene capillary growing system that he could use to measure sunflower water intake. He found that a sunflower 6 feet tall would consume 8 gallons of water a week, and a sunflower 10 feet tall would consume 10 gallons of water a week. He also found that much of the water poured around the roots was quickly lost when it passed beyond the reach of the roots; so watering should be light and frequent.
Here is a link that might be useful: watering your sunflowers
I cover all of my garden row in betweens with sawdust that seems to keep everything moist and the last 2 years haven't had to water! Mulch! I believe! I also let my ducks and geese have range of my fenced in garden areas over the winter and then go about 2 months bird free before tilling the soil. It seems to work well. Good luck!

Kinda stuck between science fiction and psychological. Both can be just awesome when combined. For now I'll go based on my top 2 - psychological that is.

|I really have no f**king idea. When I watch anime, I don't pay too much attention to the genre--I just watch the show for what it is.

|I voted for psychological since I enjoy that genre the most. There are others that I almost enjoy just as much, such as slice-of-life, but I enjoy psychological animes the most.

I'll have to go along with "No idea". If I had to I could maybe pick a top 5 in no special order. The show is more important than genre.
In any case, for a lot of shows out there you would have trouble getting people to agree on what genre they belonged in.

Although I like most genres, the choice was an easy one for me: slice of life. I had never even heard of the slice of life genre before I started building my anime collection, but after watching a couple of slice of life shows it quickly became my favorite anime genre.
There are two reasons for this. First, anime does slice of life so well, with shows like Aria, Diamond Daydreams, Someday's Dreamers, and Whisper of the Heart. It's so easy for me to relax and lose myself within shows like these, and just let them transport me to another world for a time. I think that, for me, the animation format works better for these quiet, slow-paced type of shows than live action productions or novels.
Second, there's a surprisingly good selection of slice of life shows to choose from. This is surprising because, let's face it, many anime fans find slice of life shows to be unspeakably boring and dull. It's definitely a niche genre.

|Ehh this question is way to hard to decide on. All anime genres i can love or hate depending on how well the show is done. So im going to have to say comedy becuase even if it isn't favourite, it's the genre i consistently like the most.

|Slice of Life would probably be the genre I enjoy most consistently. I do love a good adventure though.

|I voted for the action genre because I grew up on Voltes V and Daimos then Voltron came. But since I got back on the anime bandwagon I find myself drawn to fantasy-magic-supernatural, romance, and even slice of life animes.

|Romance 0 votes. It's starting to look like a phony survey! Clearly there's plenty of romance lovers around, just look at Kimi ni Todoke, His and Her draggin fans, etc., around here.

From my viewing experience, there aren't a lot of great Romances. And the ones that are above the others usually fall more in the category of Drama than Romance. Even though the two are almost always together, drama does seem to dominate in shows like Kanon, 5 cm/s, etc...
Looking at the top Romances that don't have Drama, from my eyes, only a handful of those 8.0+ have Romance as the main theme. Romance just seems to be unable to stand up by itself without the help of genres to prop it up, hence why we don't get great Romances, we get great Drama/Romances like Kare Kano or great RomComs like School Rumble. There just isn't a lot of pure Romance, let alone great pure Romance.
EDIT: I read egoist's post before he deleted, and I don't think I got my point across:
There are no great Romances because all the great Romances are actually great Dramas. Since Romance tends to heavily lean on Drama, the drama tends to be the one that shines brightest, making Romance the secondary theme.

|I actually enjoy sports anime the most even though I am not very athletic. I don't consider it "action" because that means something different to me (the suspense while listening to hajime no ippo boxing tactics or how to get a touchdown in Eyeshield 21 feels different than that of the major brawling matches in One Piece to me.) So, because this special category isn't listed, I picked romance because I'm ultimately a fangirl at heart.

Sports anime is ultimately drama anyway, thus the sport comes off as more of a theme, much like moe. At least from the hundred-something episodes I've seen of Eyeshield 21 it's filled with drama. Not that it's bad.
And One Piece is adventure above anything else.
Are you sum ninja? No I don't remember what I said... do you? I think I deleted like 25 replies last night. I don't really wanna remember any of them LOL!

Slice of Life has always been my favorite.
I also enjoy Mystery, Psychological, Fantasy, Horror, Adventure and a bit of Sci-Fi.
But honestly, and I think this applies to all Anime Viewers, I'll watch anything if it's just that good.

|I usually prefer anything that falls within the Horror genre. Pet Shop of Horror is one of my favorite anime's. In fact I am a fanatic when it comes to anything horror related. However the Psychological genre does come in close second for me.
