Miami Hurricanes
On paper, the Hurricanes appeared more than capable of winning eight
or nine games, but on grass, they managed just five in Randy
Shannon's first season, resulting in the program's worst record
since 1977. At 4-1 Miami looked to be on solid footing before
completely collapsing in the second half of the year, including a
48-0 loss to Virginia in its Orange Bowl swan song. Although the
defense was a year-long disappointment, there were even bigger
concerns on an offense that's still pining for a reliable
quarterback, and finished next-to-last in the ACC in scoring and
total offense.
Offensive Player of the Year: RB Graig Cooper
Defensive Player of the Year: S Kenny Phillips
Biggest Surprise: Reeling from back-to-back losses to North
Carolina and Georgia Tech, Miami stepped up at rival Florida State
on Oct. 20 for a 37-29 victory. The 'Canes got a Kirby Freeman-to-Dedrick
Epps touchdown pass and a Colin McCarthy fumble return for a score
in the final 75 seconds, snapping an ugly five-game road losing
Biggest Disappointment: The defense. With S Kenny Phillips
and DE Calais Campbell acting as the cornerstones of a veteran unit,
the defense figured to be a mainstay of this year's Hurricanes.
Uh-uh. They allowed 312 points, more than any 'Cane team since
1984, coming apart at the seams in losses to Oklahoma, Virginia, and
Virginia Tech.
Looking Ahead: Even after going 7-6 a year ago, Miami
actually regressed in 2007, needing Duke to avoid the ACC cellar.
If the rebuilding timetable is to be shortened, the 'Canes
desperately need an offensive firebrand, say freshman QB Robert
Marve, to step forward in 2008.

Boston College 28 ... Miami 14
Boston College overcame four turnovers with two Matt Ryan
touchdown passes in the second quarter and punctuated the win with a
45-yard Andre Callender scoring dash for the program's first victory
over Miami since the 1984 Doug Flutie Hail Mary game. Miami tied it
at 14 early in the fourth quarter on a two-yard Sam Shield touchdown
catch from Kyle Wright, who also connected with Ryan Hill from 23
yards out in the third quarter following a turnover. Ryan answered
the Shields two plays later with a 20-yard touchdown pass to
Clarence Megwa, and Miami never had an answer.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Miami has to address the offense this offseason and make it the
program's sole focus. Miami has too much talent at running back to
be as bad as it was throughout the season, and it has to figure out
who can play quarterback early on. For Miami to be this abysmal week
in and week out is inexcusable. Losing six of the final seven games
will put the Randy Shannon era on a quick early watch. Rebuilding is
one thing, but this didn't feel like a rebuilding year. The Canes
had better come out roaring in 2008.
Nov. 17
Virginia Tech 44 ... Miami 14
Virginia Tech blew open a tight game with 24 unanswered points
with short touchdown runs from Branden Ore, Carlton Weatherford and
Jahre Cheeseman in a dominant performance to set up a game against
Virginia for the Coastal title. Miami got a four-yard touchdown run
from Kyle Wright and a one-yard pass to Leonard Hankerson, but
finished with a mere -2 rushing yards and 213 yards of total
offense. Virginia Tech took a 17-0 lead helped by a 15-yard Justin
Harper touchdown catch and the first of Ore's two runs.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... -2
rushing yards, 213 yards of total offense, and a 44-14 loss to
Virginia Tech. This is Miami football as things have gone from lousy
to worse as there's a big concern now with the team getting worse by
the week instead of better. The offensive line isn't doing nearly
enough to let the skill players operate, and the defense isn't
coming up with enough game-changing plays, even though it did a good
job of getting into the backfield this week, to pick up the slack.
Boston College doesn't have anything to play for, so if the Canes
can't come out roaring, the heat will be turned up on Randy Shannon
in the off-season.
Nov. 10
Virginia 48 ... Miami 0
Virginia destroyed Miami in the Canes' final game in the
Orange Bowl as Mikell Simpson ran for two one-yard scores, Maurice
Covington caught a 29-yard touchdown pass, and Chris Gould nailed
field goals from 33 and 41 yards out. Miami's offense went nowhere
with nine first downs, five turnovers, and a lost fumble to
Virginia's Chris Cook, who took it 44 yards for a score. Virginia
outgained Miami 418 yards to 189.

Virginia QB Jameel
Sewell completed 20 of 25 passes for 288 yards and a touchdown with
an interception, and ran eight times for 28 yards and a score.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
There have been some lousy moments in
recent Miami history, but the blowout loss to Virginia was the most
embarrassing low point. Not only did it lose in the Orange Bowl
finale, it suffered its worst shutout loss ever in the stadium with
a ridiculous nine first downs, 189 yards of total offense and five
turnovers. The passing game is a joke with Kyle Wright completing
just nine of 21 passes a week after Kirby Freeman completed just one
of 14 in the loss to NC State. Now Miami has to beat either Virginia
Tech or Boston College on the road to go to a bowl. Forget about it.
Nov. 3
NC State 19 ... Miami 16 OT
In overtime, Miami's Daren Daly missed a 27-yard field goal, and
NC State's Steven Hauschka connected on a 42-yarder for the Wolfpack
win. Hauschka hit three fourth quarter field goals to give the Pack
a three-point lead, but Daly was able to force overtime with a
27-yard field goal with :19 to play. Miami's Kirby Freeman only
completed one of 14 passes, but it was for an 84-yard touchdown to
Kirby Freeman in the second quarter. NC State got its only touchdown
on a one-yard Daniel Evans run in the second. Miami ran for 314
yards, but lost three turnovers, all Freeman interceptions.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Kirby Freeman can't be given the keys to the car anymore. Against NC
State, he showed once again that he's unable to lead the Miami
offense, completing just one of 14 passes, even though he had help
from the running game. There's no excuse for Miami to run for 314
yards and lose a game 19-16. Now, with Virginia, at Virginia Tech
and at Boston College ahead, and at 5-4, Miami is in big trouble in
the bowl hunt.
Oct. 20
Miami 37 ... Florida State 29
And the rivalry just keeps getting more bizarre. Florida State
got five Gary Cismesia field goals, including two 45-yarders in the
second half, a 45-yard Toddrick Verdell interception return for a
touchdown, and a six-yard Xavier Lee touchdown run on the way to a
29-24 lead late in the fourth quarter. The game appeared to be all
but over when Miami's Kirby Freeman was stuffed on fourth and one on
the FSU two, but the Canes got another chance and went 83 yards in
1:30 with Freeman hitting Dedrick Epps for a 13-yard touchdown pass
with 1:15 to play. The two point conversion failed, leaving the door
open for the Noles, but 11 seconds later, Colin McCarthy scooped up
a Lee fumble for a 27-yard score to seal the win. FSU turned it over
five times, Miami four times.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Just when it seems like the Hurricanes
are left for dead, they come up with a stunning late win over
Florida State to potentially change things around. Kyle Wright might
not be Tom Brady, and Kirby Freeman might have led the offense to
the big late touchdown to get ahead, but there are huge problems if
Wright isn't healthy and playing. Freeman is just way, way too
inconsistent. The running backs came through to save the day, with
the 1-2 punch of Javarris James and Graig Cooper making up for the
passing game's issue. That has to continue through the final month.
Oct. 13
Georgia Tech 17 ... Miami 14
Taylor Bennett ran for two third quarter touchdowns and
Tashard Choice ran for 204 yards as Georgia Tech held on to beat
Miami. Tied at 14 midway though the fourth, Travis Bell hit a
39-yard field goal to give Tech the lead for good. Miami never came
close again. The Canes got a 39-yard touchdown dash from Shawnbrey
McNeal on fourth down in the first quarter, and Sam Shield caught a
three-yard touchdown pass in the fourth, but they only gained 223
yards of total offense and got 12 first downs.

yds, 1 TD
Rushing: Graig Cooper, 12-66. Receiving: Sam Shields,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
inconsistency on both sides of the ball is maddening. Overall, the
defense did a fine job against Georgia Tech, but Tashard Choice ran
way too well behind a great day from the O line. Offensively, there
just isn't anything happening with the running game for a full 60
minutes. The Canes have way too much talent in the backfield to be
struggling so much, but the biggest issue continues to be at
quarterback, where Kyle Wright had yet another off day. Now Miami is
in a real danger area with Florida State, Virginia Tech and Boston
College, all on the road, still to deal with.
Oct. 6
North Carolina 33 ... Miami 27
North Carolina roared out to a 27-0 lead highlighted by a
54-yard Brandon Tate touchdown on an end around, and a 39-yard
Anthony Elzy scoring dash, and then held on for dear life. Miami
roared back in the third quarter, scoring 20 points on a one-yard
Kyle Wright touchdown run, a four-yard pass to Sam Shields, and then
a 97-yarder bolt of lightning from Darnell Jenkins. The Tar Heels
were able to stay ahead with two of Connor Barth's four field goals
for just enough points to overcome a one-yard Javarris James scoring
run set up by a long Jenkins punt return. UNC recovered the onside
kick and ran the clock out. Miami threw four interceptions, while
UNC only lost one fumble.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Where was the tackling against North
Carolina? Where was the running game? The Canes might have come out
roaring in the second half, but it was almost too late. When the Tar
Heels needed to go on a scoring drive, they did, and when they
needed to come up with a huge defensive play, they did. Now it's
become official; the A&M win was an aberration. But this is Miami.
It's just flaky enough to come back with wins over Georgia Tech and
Florida State to get right back in the ACC race. To do that, all the
weapons in the backfield have to get rolling, and that's up to the
play of the offensive line.
Sept. 29
Miami 24 ... Duke 14
Miami struggled to put Duke away, but got nine sacks from the
defense, and a 33-yard Dajleon Farr fourth quarter touchdown catch,
to escape. The Blue Devils came up with two long scoring drives,
with Ronnie Drummer taking a pass 41 yards for a touchdown in the
second quarter, and Eron Riley catching a 31-yard touchdown pass in
the fourth, but the Canes were ahead throughout, starting off with a
five-yard Kayne Farquharson touchdown catch. Graig Cooper added a
two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Miami didn't exactly come up with a stellar performance against
Duke, but it was efficient offensively when it had to be, and the
defense came up with the timely sacks when desperately needed. Was
this a bit of a letdown after the Texas A&M win, or is this
indicative of how average the Canes really are? The defense has to
do a better job of playing a full sixty minutes, while the offense
simply isn't going to be a thrill ride. As long as the mistakes are
kept to a minimum, this will be Miami football all year long.
Sept. 20
Miami 34 ... Texas A&M 17
Miami dominated the first half with 24 points, helped by a
flurry in the final five minutes off of A&M miscues. Graig Cooper
and Javarris James each ran for short touchdowns, and Kyle Wright
connected with Cooper for a 12-yard score and Chris Zellner for a
seven-yard touchdown on the way to a 31-0 lead. Texas A&M came up
with 17 fourth quarter points on a short Stephen McGee run and a
Jerrod Johnson 33-yard chuck to Martellus Bennett with five seconds
to play.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... All
of a sudden, Miami goes from afterthought to fast, talented, and
productive again after blowing past Texas A&M. This is the Kyle
Wright the program has been waiting for, and if he's able to make
the correct decisions and get the ball in the hands of his playmaker
on the move like he did against the Aggies, Miami suddenly becomes
formidable. To nitpick, fumbles were and issue, and the team didn't
close well, but this was still a big win for Randy Shannon and the
program. It doesn't mean Miami is back to being Miami, but it was a
good step.
Sept. 15
Miami 23 ... Florida International 9
Kyle Wright connected with Lance Leggett for an 80-yard
touchdown in the third quarter, Graig Cooper ran for a three-yard
score, and Francesco Zampogna hit two field goals as Miami won
easily in a civil, respectful game that had none of the bitterness
of last year's brawling battle (at least on the field). FIU's
offense sputtered and coughed all game long, only managing a 24-yard
Chris Abed field goal until late in the fourth, when Trenard Turner
caught a 65-yard touchdown pass.

Rushing: Javarris James, 19-92. Receiving: Darnell
Jenkins, 5-108
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... It
wasn't the blowout over FIU that Miami fans might have liked after
the ugly performance against Oklahoma, but this game was about
getting back on track. Kyle Wright had a decent day, but through two
interceptions, and the offense still lacked consistency in all
phases. Outside of the 80-yard Lance Leggett touchdown, the
receivers didn't make enough plays. FIU managed 159 rushing yards,
and things will have to tighten up considerably with the battle
against Texas A&M on Thursday night.
To pull off the win, the passing has to be crisper, the running game
has to keep things moving, and the penalties have to slow down,
after committing 12 for 93 yards.
Sept. 8
Oklahoma 51 ... Miami 13
Sam Bradford threw five touchdowns, with three to Malcolm
Kelly, and Reggie Smith returned a fumble 61 yards for a touchdown
as Oklahoma annihilated Miami. The Hurricanes appeared ready to make
it a game early in the second half after a 45-yard Francesco
Zampogna field goal cut the OU lead to 21-13, but the Sooners turned
it up a notch and scored the final 30 points of the game. OU backup
Joey Halzle even got in on the act with a 61-yard touchdown pass to
Adron Tennell in garbage time. Miami's Kyle Wright threw a six-yard
scoring pass to Ryan Hill at the end of the first half for Miami's
only touchdown.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Oklahoma is one of the nation's best teams, if not number one
overall, but for a Miami team still in desperate need of a big game
to turn things around, this was an embarrassment. The defense was
supposed to be among the best in America, and it didn't exactly quit
in the second half, but it sure wasn't flying around once it became
obvious the offense wasn't going to do anything. The biggest problem
is at quarterback; there isn't one. Kirby Freeman simply isn't a BCS
conference passer, and Kyle Wright isn't able to move the ball. On
the plus side, Javarris James had a few moments running the ball,
despite only getting eight carries, and Florida International is up
next week. The Canes have to use the game to settle in on one
quarterback and sink or swim with him.
Sept. 1
Miami 31 ... Marshall 3
Javarris James ran for touchdowns from five and eight yards
out and Kirby Freeman connected with DahLeon Farr for a one-yard score
as Miami easily blew past Marshall in head coach Randy Shannon's debut.
The Herd was held to 51 rushing yards and only managed a fourth quarter
37-yard Anthony Biswanger field goal, but four turnovers and a variety
of mistakes, helped caused by the Cane defense, never gave MU a chance.
The Canes ran for 260 yards and three touchdowns.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
quarterback situation is far from settled. Kirby Freeman didn't exactly
take the job by the horns with a 9-of-21 performance against Marshall
with only 81 passing yards and a touchdown with an interception. While
he didn't have to force any throws and mainly had to hand off to the
tremendous rushing tandem of Graig Cooper and Javarris James, he's going
to have to make plays for the Canes to have any shot against Oklahoma,
and he hasn't shown yet that he can actually play with the big boys.
Fortunately for Miami, the defense will take care of most teams. It
never let Marshall in the game.
Sept. 1 -
Not since Byron Leftwich graduated has Marshall been Marshall on
offense. That should begin to change this fall provided erratic senior
quarterback Bernard Morris can make the most of a receiving corps that's
brimming with young game-breakers. All-conference back Ahmad Bradshaw,
a 1,500-yard rusher in 2006, left early for the NFL, leaving Chubb Small
to shoulder the load. If he can't handle the promotion, look for one of
three blue-chip freshmen to rise up and accept an expanded role. While
the offensive line has pending issues at tackle, Doug Legursky is a
beast at center that could parlay big efforts early versus Miami and
West Virginia into post-season awards.
Defense: Disgusted with the play of last year's defense, head
coach Mark Snyder changed course, hiring veteran Steve Dunlap as the
coordinator. While last year's team sat back, and often paid for the
conservative approach, the 2007 edition will attack wherever and
whenever it makes sense. The chief attacker will be junior end Albert
McClellan, a sack machine that'll be in the mix for just about every
individual award given to defensive players. At linebacker, junior Josh
Johnson is good enough to consider early entry into the 2008 NFL Draft
once the season concludes. Dunlap's biggest concerns in his first
season on the job surround a pedestrian group of tackles and a beatable
secondary that allowed way too many long gainers last season.
Sept. 8 – at Oklahoma
Offense: If a quarterback comes through and shines, this could be
the nation's most effective offense. If the offensive line isn't the
best in college football, it's number two, the running backs are very
fast and very talented, and the receiving corps, led by top pro prospect
Malcolm Kelly, is very big and very fast. It all comes down to the
quarterback battle between junior Joey Halzle and redshirt freshman Sam
Bradford. Whichever one can be steady will get the plum gig with a
chance to lead the loaded attack in a national title chase.
Defense: It'll be an interesting defense that has the potential
to be a killer, but has some major concerns. The secondary should be
among the best in America with enough size, speed, and talent to keep
the NFL scouts buzzing. DeMarcus Granger is a rising superstar tackle
who should combine with Gerald McCoy, Cory Bennett and Steven Coleman to
stuff up everything on the inside. If the unknown ends come though with
a halfway decent season, and the untested linebacking corps is nearly as
good as last year's, look out.
Sept. 15 - FIU
Offense New offensive coordinator James Coley has a lot of work
to do with an offense that finished dead last in America in scoring
averaging fewer than ten points per game and 116th in the nation in
yards averaging 233 per outing. Eight starters return, including the
entire offensive line, and there's good potential in the backfield with
the 1-2 rushing punch of Julian Reams and A'mod Ned, but the passing
game needs work with Paul McCall likely to take over at quarterback and
no experience at receiver to rely on.
Defense: The defense did what it could with no help from the
offense, and now seven starters return with a shot to be among the
league's best. The secondary gets all four starters back, led by Lionell
Singleton at corner. The line is big and good with a pair of strong
300-pounders (Roland Clarke and Jonas Murrell) inside. Now for the
problem: the great linebacking corps loses all three starters. The top
four tacklers are gone, along with the top pass rushers. Keyonvis Bouie,
Alexander Bostic, and Antwan Barnes were stars who won't be easily
Sept. 22 - Texas A&M
Offense: Run, run, and run some more. The Aggies finished last
year eighth in the nation in rushing, and now the line should be even
better with four legitimate All-Big 12 candidates paving the way for the
devastating rushing tandem of Jorvorskie Lane and Mike Goodson. QB
Stephen McGee was better than anyone could've hoped for last year taking
over for Reggie McNeal, and while he might not throw only two
interceptions again, he'll be one of the league's best all-around
quarterbacks. The tight end tandem of Martellus Bennett and Joey Thomas
would get all the conference attention if it wasn't for Missouri's
tremendous pair, but the receivers are suspect and could be the Achilles
heel if there Earvin Taylor doesn't have a huge season.
Defense: First of all, realize what amazing strides the defense
made under defensive coordinator Gary Darnell. The pass defense was the
worst in the nation in 2005 and became more than just respectable last
season in a 4-2-5 alignment that led to a solid year until the Holiday
Bowl meltdown against Cal. There wasn't enough of a pass rush outside of
Chris Harrington, but that could change if tackle Red Bryant is healthy
again and occupies two blockers on the inside. There aren't any
all-stars in the back seven, but it's a good, sound group that will do
just enough to get by.
Sept. 29 - Duke
Offense: Eleven starters return to an offense that lived
through the growing pains of a youth movement in an attempt to take a
giant leap forward. New offensive coordinator Peter Vaas, who comes over
from Notre Dame, should help make quarterback Thaddeus Lewis more
consistent. Helping the overall cause even more is a veteran line that
needs to be far better after doing next to nothing well throughout last
year. It'll be tailback by committee with several different options to
see carries, while the overall strength will be at receiver with several
young, big, good-looking targets for Lewis to use to push the ball
Defense: The defense is still not going to be a rock, but there's
promise with several good young players to revolve around. Top prospects
Vince Oghobaase and Ayanga Okpokowuruk are rising stars on the line,
while Patrick Bailey is a playmaker who'll be one of the ACC's better
pass rushers. Michael Tauiliili is a playmaker at middle linebacker, but
the outside linebackers are question marks. Safeties Chris Davis and
Adrian Aye-Darko are good, and they'll need to be with major concerns at
Oct. 6 – at North Carolina
Offense: The offense only cranked out 293 yards and 18 points per
game with fits of wild inconsistency. Expect a bit more of the same with
a young team still trying to figure out who the starters are going to
be, but the overall production should be better. Step one is to
determine who the quarterback will be to handle the passing game that'll
run three and four wide sets. T.J. Yates was the star of spring ball,
but he'll have to hold off star freshman Mike Paulus. There are plenty
of good, inexperienced running backs to work with, and Hakeem Nicks is a
potential star number one receiver. However, there aren't any
certainties in the depth chart quite yet. The line will be serviceable,
but nothing special.
Defense: It might take a year to turn things around after a
disastrous 2006, but the young talent is there to get really, really
excited. The defensive line has a slew of great prospects to work with,
while the back seven has athleticism and quickness by design with a
smallish linebacking corps. The return of Trimaine Goddard at safety
will be a big help for the secondary, while the hopeful emergence of
more pass rushing help for end Hilee Taylor should help the coaching
staff implement it's attacking, aggressive style.
Oct. 13 - Georgia Tech
Offense: Is it possible an offense can lose the offensive
coordinator, a sure-fire NFL superstar and a four-year starting
quarterback and be better? Absolutely. Calvin Johnson's departure will
sting, but the passing game should be even better with Taylor Bennett
(or any one of a slew of terrific prospects) taking over for Reggie
Ball. Patrick Nix left to take over the Miami offense, but John Bond is
a veteran who did a good job with the Northern Illinois program for the
last three years. James Johnson will be a decent number one target, and
now someone else has to quickly emerge to take the heat off and give
Bennett more options. Tashard Choice is an All-ACC caliber back leading
a deep and talented group of runners working behind a fantastic line
loaded with experience and depth.
Defense: The defense had two lousy games against Clemson and West
Virginia and was solid against everyone else. With just about everyone
returning, expect another great year holding almost everyone to under
300 yards and around 20 points. The defensive line will be one of the
team's strengths with one of the best groups of ends in America. MLB
Philip Wheeler deserves All-America attention while the safety tandem of
Jamal Lewis and Djay Jones will be one of the ACC's best. The corners
are a bit suspect and the proven linebacker depth is a bit thin, but
those aren't glaring problems.
Oct. 20 – at Florida State
Offense: After a dreadful two seasons, the offense is under new
leadership with new offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher coming in to
breathe life into the nation's 70th ranked attack. Step one is to find
some semblance of a running game, and that starts with talented junior
Antone Smith getting more carries. The offensive line, problem one over
the last few years, gets a big upgrade with the addition of line coach
Rick Trickett from West Virginia. He's immediately pushed everyone to
get into better shape and to get a lot tougher. The passing game won't
be forgotten about, with Fisher wanting to bomb away down the field to
Greg Carr and DeCody Fagg. Now a steady quarterback has to emerge
between Drew Weatherford and Xavier Lee.
The defense
came up with a better year than it got credit for, but it gave up too
many points. Now the potential is there for this to be a Florida
State defense again with tremendous speed and talent in the
secondary and a good enough front seven to come up with a big year.
There are question marks. Everette Brown is a good-looking pass rushing
end, but he needs help from the other side. The linebacking corps will
be special as long as Derek Nicholson and Marcus Ball can quickly return
from torn ACLs, otherwise it'll be an undersized group with no depth. As
always, there's a slew of NFL talent to work around, highlighted by
tackle Andre Fluellen and safety Myron Rolle.
Nov. 3 - NC State
Offense: This won't be a bombs away attack under Dana
Bible, but it could be with a big, fast, experienced receiving corps
that should be able to spread the field. The trio of running backs,
Toney Baker, Andre Brown and Jamelle Eugene, should be a major plus, but
the line has to be far better and needs to replace the starting tackles.
It'll be a three-man race for the starting quarterback job between
Daniel Evans, Nebraska transfer Harrison Beck, and Justin Burke, with
the one of them needing to be able to move the offense consistently,
something that wasn't done this spring. This will be a running offense
that will eventually grow into a 50/50 balance.
Defense: This will be a solid defense, but it won't be
spectacular. It could be fantastic in 2008 when all the promising young
prospects are ready to shine, but for now, this will be a good, sound D
that should be far more consistent than last year. Demario Pressley and
Martrel Brown lead a strong line that should be the strength, while
three senior linebackers will keep the mistakes to a minimum. The
secondary has to come up with more big plays after helping the Pack pick
off just seven passes.
Nov. 10 - Virginia
Offense: Until the receivers prove they can play, it'll be run,
run and run some more with mobile quarterback Jameel Sewell and decent
backs Cedric Peerman and Keith Payne working behind a much improved,
veteran line. The tight ends are excellent, but the receiving corps
suffered a nasty blow when it lost leading receiver Kevin Ogletree with
a knee injury. Now it'll be up to Sewell, a rising star but an
inconsistent passer, to make everyone around him better. Don't expect
anything flashy for a while.
Defense: Somewhat quietly, the Virginia defense had a terrific
year finishing 17th in the nation in total D and 22nd in scoring D. It
should be even better with ten starters returning, including top linemen
Chris Long and Jeffrey Fitzgerald to anchor the front three. All four
starting linebackers are back to form a solid group that doesn't make a
whole bunch of mistakes. This might not be the most athletic defense,
but it's aggressive and is always around the ball.
Nov. 17 – at Virginia Tech
Offense: Can Tech win a national title with a mediocre
offense? It was 99th in the nation in total offense, but it did a great
job of taking advantage of all the breaks generated by the defense.
Eight starters return, led by ACC Player of the Year candidate Branden
Ore at running back, but he needs the line to be healthy for a full
season, and better. The passing game has good pieces, but it has to be
far more consistent considering there are four talented senior receivers
returning. Quarterback Sean Glennon had a good off-season, and now it
has to translate into better production.
Defense: For two years in a row, Tech has led the nation in total
defense, and last season, was number one in scoring defense allowing 11
points per game. There's no reason the D can't be even better with eight
starters returning led by the 1-2 linebacking punch of Vince Hall and
Xavier Adibi. Corner Brandon Flowers is emerging as one of the best in
the nation, "Macho" Harris is a good defender on the other side, and the
line is loaded with size, quickness, depth and experience. As good as
things were, and will be, it's not like the D played a who's who of
offensive machines, so the overall numbers might be a tad bit overrated,
but make no mistake about it; this is a special defense.
Nov. 24 – at Boston College
Offense: It's Matt Ryan's offense and everyone is just playing in
it. The new coaching staff will install a new zone blocking scheme,
putting a premium on quick, flashy runners, but the line might not be
suited for the system. The receiving corps is decent, but nothing
special, and the tight ends are promising. It all comes down to Ryan,
who'll have more control in the attack, able to change things up a bit
on the fly, and he should be tremendous now that he's healthy. He was
the best quarterback in the ACC last year, and that was with a broken
Defense: Is it time to start
giving the BC defense a little love? It allowed 17 points per game in
2004, 15.92 in 2005, and 15.69 last year. With defensive coordinator
Frank Spaziani back, it should be even better with nine starters
returning including the entire front seven if linebacker Brian Toal is
back from a shoulder problem. The monster tackles, B.J. Raji and Ron
Brace, will gum up everything inside, while the deep linebacking corps
will quietly be among the ACC's best. DeJuan Tribble is one of the
league's best shutdown corners, and Jamie Silva is a top free safety.
The problem? There isn't a reliable second corner, and strong safety is
a question mark.

Kid Muscle, Kid Muscle, Kid Muscle. It's always about him, isn't it? Let's ignore our gutless protagonist for just a moment and consider some of the more upstanding wrestlers in the Superhuman Olympics. Like, say, Jaeger, the noble German who's won the heart of many a fan - including the Kid's erstwhile girlfriend, Roxanne.
When Jaeger takes on the ruthless masked wrestler Ricardo, can he survive without his beloved trainer, Brocken Jr., to guide him? When Ricardo's mask comes off, will Jaeger be able to handle the truth? And when Roxanne and Jacqueline McMadd clash at ringside, will we see the catfight of Kid Muscle's dreams?
Alas, it always comes back to Kid Muscle... who won't get to kick back and let Jaeger take the heat for long. He's scheduled to fight the winner in the Punishment X ring. What's the Punishment X ring? Kid Muscle doesn't know, and he's pretty sure he doesn't want to find out!

Posted by trancemaster_1988 on Oct 11th, 2011
Have you been enjoying the mod so far, huh? I really hope so. While it started with its share of bugs and errors, Morrowind Rebirth are beginning to look like something really special. Now I shouldn't sit here and brag about my accomplishments, but the truth is that I'm really proud of my work! I truly belive that most of my followers (cult warning ;)) are having the same thoughts. If not, I'm always open for suggestions and feedback.
Now back to the real reason why I'm posting today. I'm quite sure you want to see some actuall progress. For this version I have something really special in mind. I've always wanted to do something about the small Ghostgate fort, turning it into a actuall fortress. Dren plantation didn't look like a plantation and it REALLY doesn't fit for the richest man on Vvardenfell. At last but not least we have Suran, which really looks diffrent, but in a good way.
Here's list for the changes in the new patch (1.3)
New/improved areas
* New Suran
* New Dren Plantation
* New Ghostgate
* Balmora Sewers
* A new tavern near Khuul (Three Daggers)
* A new alchemist in Pelagiad
General fixes
* Imperial Newtscale Cuirass now counts as a legion uniform.
* Summoned creatures have had their soul value set to 0.
* Redoran Guards (female), will now greet you properly.
* Lowered the chance to find pearls to 20 % (used to be 50 %).
* Player made potions are now 50 % less valueable.
* You'll now take damage if standing in a fire or really close to it.
* Redoran Guards now wear a Redoran Shield.
New ingredient
* Guar Meat
New artifacts
* Oathbreaker (Two-handed sword)
* Truthseeker (Two-handed sword)
* A new still unnamed shield
There might also be some new creatures, but I can't promise anything. For you who didn't enjoy reading the wall of text, here's some pretty screenshots
I also have some new mod recommendations to run alongside Rebirth:
With this mod, you can fight and bet for fights in the Vivec's Arena. Like in the the Imperial City Arena in Oblivion, there are apparent teams of combatants and scheduled matches.
A photo-realistic plugin-less replacer for the faces and hairs of Morrowind.
Bump-mapped soul gems.
A really nice texture replacer for Vivec with bump-maps.
That's it for now.
Awww, you're elminating our get-rich-quick, enchant-stuff-easy, and oh-god-I-hope-creeper-can-afford-this-soulgem schemes!
It does make the game more fun though! And I will add some high end merchants later on too.
High-end enough to buy a soulgem with Vivec in it? :O
(Also, I have a request: Could you add some sort of building, such as building a house yourself, sort of like the "Grow your own Telvaani Towers" mod)
I just wanted to say, I love this mod and you!
Haha thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the next patch too :)
sweet. now i just need to find out what immersion mods will work with this :D

Your thoughts?
Go BLUE!!!
I haven't seen enough or know enough about Volquez so I am gonna say Bailey.
"Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it." Cal Hubbard
Just an arbitrary pick - couldn't say in reality who will.
In the same way that a baseball season never really begins, it never really ends either. - Lonnie Wheeler, "Bleachers, A Summer in Wrigley Field"
The Baseball Emporium - Books & Things, that's Rallyonion.com

Cueto. Stuff, command, velo. He's got it all. His size doesn't bother me, as his results speak for themselves.
Wow, no love for Volquez so far? He's my pick.
Go BLUE!!!

"You guys are still thinking like doctors when you should be thinking like plumbers. Come on, I wanna see some butt crack." -- House
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I voted Cueto. While stuff helps determine your ceiling, control & command is the biggest factor (health aside) is determining whether you reach it.
With Bailey & Volquez, there seems to be nearly even odds on whether or not they ever break the fringe starter ceiling. Cueto seems to have a clear path to that #2/#3 starter level of effectiveness. I think both Tim Hudson and Roy Oswalt have shown that smaller pitchers can remain effective. Surely they will grow less productive over time, as all players do, but the idea that a few seasons will wear him down seems to be laregly unfounded.
Until Homer and Volquez reign in their stuff, I see nothing but Kyle Lohsesque careers.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Youngest guy? Bailey.
Best stuff? Bailey.
Makes it an easy pick for me. Cueto would go next, then Volquez.
Mo had the Texas beat writer on his show today and he said Volquez was Texas minor league pitcher of the year 3 years in a row, he was clearly their top prospect. I was torn between him and Bailey but I went with Volquez.
This is a very tough question, but also a very good one.
I love all three of these guys. I think all three could be special, top of the rotation guys. Each of them have great stuff but I picked Johnny Cueto because his stuff is the most refined of the three at this point. He doesn't necessarily have the highest ceiling of the three, but he is a guy who will step right in and contribute to the Reds because of his great control and stuff. The other two may take a little time to reach their ceilings due to shaky command, though I see all three of them being great major league pitchers, it's just that I think Cueto gets there quicker.
"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
The Reds haven't produced a home-grown starter in two decades. Smart money is on nobody bucking that trend -- and, if they do, not being very good.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Not exactly going out on a limb here, but...
I predict that Homer Bailey will have the brightest burn, but it'll likely be for a couple seasons with his second or third team.
I predict that Johnny Cueto will have the best overall career as a consistent #2 to solid #3 Starter.
I predict that Edinson Volquez is the most likely of the three to flame out as a starter and to bounce around as a somewhat frustrating decent middle reliever. Reminds me of a little chunkier, more HR-prone version of Juan Cruz.
"The problem with strikeouts isn't that they hurt your team, it's that they hurt your feelings..." --Rob Neyer
"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch thats over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.
--Ted Williams
I'm glad to see Volquez starting to get some more votes. I considered choosing him but I thought it over and decided to go with Cueto. I think all three are going to develop into great pitchers within a couple years, forming the best Reds rotation in decades.

No full-time officer to handle domestic violence cases
GO said district social officers to be appointed as protection officers
NGOs authorised to receive complaints of domestic violenc
CHENNAI: A government order issued on December 19 last year said that district social officers would be appointed "temporarily as a stop gap arrangement" as protection officers under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
Almost eight months later, the "stop gap arrangement" remains in place. The city is yet to see the appointment of a full-time protection officer.
Under the Act, it is protection officers and service providers — NGOs or other organisations that have experience in the field of domestic violence — that are authorised to receive complaints of domestic violence. The protection officer is also responsible for handling these cases.
The Department of Social Welfare has appointed two service providers in Chennai – one is Vishranthi, a home for aged and destitute women, and the other the All India Democratic Women's Association.
Savithri Vaithi, founder and chairperson of Vishranthi says that she received a letter around March appointing the organisation a service provider. However, they are yet to told what their position entails.
According to a member dealing with the act in AIDWA, the group faces enormous trouble in implementing the act. "There was no Tamil translation of the form," she said, referring to the form that the service provider is required to fill on receiving a compliant.
According to records at the district social welfare office, 31 cases have been registered under the act since its implementation. Two of these have gone to court and are being processed.
Three have been resolved through counselling, three others transferred to other districts. The remaining 23 are either pending inquiry or are yet to be sent to the magistrate.
K. Manivasan, Director of Social Welfare said appointment of a full-time protection officer involves "the creation of a new post." He did not give a time frame as to when this would happen.
"Awareness programmes have been held in Trichy and Erode," he said, adding that they would conduct one in Chennai too. "It is a new act. It takes time," he said.

US singer Chris Brown could face jail
LOS ANGELES— A judge on Monday revoked US singer Chris Brown's probation for his notorious 2009 assault on then girlfriend Rihanna, but spared him jail for the moment.
The Los Angeles judge scheduled a new court hearing for August 16, at which he could decide on further action, unless defense and prosecution lawyers agree a deal in the meantime.
Brown was sentenced to five years' probation, a yearlong domestic violence program and 180 days of community service after assaulting Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammys. A photo of her bruised face triggered widespread anger.
On Monday prosecutors filed a request in a Los Angeles court asking for his probation to be revoked after the singer was charged over an alleged hit-and-run car incident in May this year.
LA Superior Court judge James Brandlin agreed to the request after meeting with lawyers. Brown, who was in court, made no comment after the hearing.
The 24-year-old could face up to four years behind bars if the judge decides he has violated his probation and lawyers do not agree a deal to spare him jail.
Brown has denied the traffic accident allegation, claiming the other driver involved was trying to get a "payday" from him.
Media reports said Brown rear-ended a Mercedes with his Range Rover near Toluca Lake, north of LA.
He stopped and swapped information, but celebrity news website TMZ suggested he gave false information.
Brown fired off a series of tweets after the charges over the May 21 incident—one count each of hit-and-run and driving without a valid license—were announced last month.
"It's not a hit and run if u get out the car, exchange information (who has NO DAMAGE to either cars). This is really ridiculous," he posted on the micro-blogging website.
In new Twitter posts Monday, he said: "I did everything I was suppose to do during the so called hit n run, I provided the correct info. There were no injuries or damages. C'mon!!"
"My cross is heavy but God gives me the strength to carry it," he added.

Meatless Mouthful–Mark Bittman On Food Labeling Importance
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 5th, 2010 in Authors, Flexitarian, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
"We have to be able to know what we're buying when we go out to shop for food. The way things are now, (food producers) can say if something is made without antibiotics or genetic modification, but they're not required to state if they do use those things. I just think we have to concentrate on growing real food in the parts of the country that have climates that support it. If we can grow more real food, and buy and cook more real food, we're all in better shape."
–Author Mark Bittman, a flexitarian who follows a "vegan until six" approach to eating, on the recent FDA ruling that genetically modified salmon does not have to be labeled. Unfortunately, this trend could have serious consequences as some studies have already linked GM foods to abnormalities in mammals, such as genetically modified soy diets leading to abnormal ovary and uterus changes in mice.

Cinco Estrellas Farm -
Cinco Estrellas is truly a family farm. Roberto's three sons and two daughters were all raised there and attended the local high school in Junction City. Now his grandchildren's swing-set and tricycles are as much a part of the landscape as the red and green rows of lettuce. Roberto's daughter Maria also runs the neighboring farm, Nuevo Amenecer. Even the farm's name was inspired by Roberto's family: three sons + two daughters = five stars (cinco estrellas). Roberto affectionately says,"Maria is one of those stars."
The farm has been organic from the beginning. Roberto states his reason for using Organic methods simply by saying, "I don't like to use chemicals." In addition, he uses cover crops to prevent soil erosion, and rotates his crops yearly to promote soil fertility. Roberto currently incorporated drip irrigation to conserve water, planting beds with plastic much for weed control and crop cover fabrics to extend the growing season. He's starting native tree plantings on the edges of the farm as another way to preserve the land he loves.

This beach is a treasure; you can spend the entire day and never be bored; lots to do, lots to explore; great rock climbing and tidepools. The picnic facilities are quaint and good. Sometimes we go there end of the day just to barbecue dinner; it is peaceful and there's always space.
Very nice, quiet, clean beach just 15 minutes south of Rockland Maine. We really enjoyed climbing on the rock outcroppings located on each end of the beach.
Very enjoyable, a picturesque beach tucked between a forest and ocean rocks. Fun to explore and hang out at for couples or kids.
The water was a little cold but people were still enjoying themselves wading around. Water shoes or flip flops would be a good idea, lots of rocks and shells to step on.
First off clean bathrooms (pit toilets but clean) within a short walk. We brought young children and they had a blast climbing rocks, wading in the (freezing) water and exploring tidal pools. The sand is perfect for castle building. We got there early and had no problems with parking. Started filling up around 11 on a weekday but the lot...
This was a wonderful setting to kick back and enjoy the spectacular Maine Mid-Coast. I very much appreciated the limited number of people on this beach.
Quiet, out of the way, with beautiful views!
Our resort recommended this location for swimming in the ocean. I'm so glad we went, although it was rather difficult to find if one is not familiar with the area. Rt. 1 through me for a bit of a loop, as it winds through town in a round about sort of way.
This is a very pretty beach. No sunbathing/sandy beach, but there are rocks to lay/sit on. There are a couple trails you can take, too. There are a few picnic benches in the shade so you could make a day of it.
Ive been coming to this beach for 30 plus years and never had a bad experience. It's usually very clean and the people friendly. Its in a small harbor of sorts so you don't really have to worry about rough water if you plan on bringing your kids. There are also great tide pools to check out. Get there early...
I love the uncrowded quiet beaches and then go to McLoon's McLoons Lobster Shack 315 Island Road

Haymarket Hotel
1 Suffolk Place, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Leicester Square
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Haymarket Hotel is among the younger hotels in the Firmdale group — or shall we call it a family? We're disposed to think of Number Sixteen, the Knightsbridge, Soho Hotel and all the rest of the group's other London hotels as instant classics: luxury-hotel values on a boutique-hotel scale, with a unique design personality courtesy of Kit Kemp. What's not to love?
What's special about Haymarket Hotel comes down largely to its location. Not far south of the Soho Hotel, and just off Piccadilly Circus, the Haymarket finds itself even more in the thick of Theatreland, surrounded by about as much culture as one could reasonably be expected to take. The National Gallery awaits, as do the low-culture pleasures of Mayfair's famous shopping districts.
As expected, the Haymarket comes with its share of public and semi-private places — a conservatory, a drawing room, a private dining room — as well as a fine restaurant serving brasserie-style modern English cuisine, and a full-service spa. Where it steps out ahead of its sisters, however, is downstairs, where you'll find an 18-meter swimming pool, complete with a poolside bar and a booming sound system. Takes the formula one better — which, given the already high quality of the formula, is just about all you could want.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Guaranteed 4pm check-out
- Complimentary welcome gift upon arrival (changes seasonally; a value of £10 to £20)
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival (a value of between £6 and £20 per drink, depending on the drink)

What I liked:
The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. This was the second time I stayed at this room and was not disappointed. The service was superb. The bed was so incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was absolutely spectecular with double sinks and a huge tub. I also love the towel warmers, a must during the cold and wet winter. Location is a big reason for my choice of this hotel. It's in walking distance of Regent street and the subway.
What the hotel could do better:
40 pounds for wifi is absolutely ludicrous. I would probably pick a different hotel next time just because of this.

Molestation of a woman on a moving bus throws more light on the nefarious ways of a section of private bus workers
Tuesday's incident in which a young woman was molested on a moving bus in Kochi has thrown more light on the nefarious ways of a section of the city's private bus owners and workers.
Earlier complaints
A senior official in the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) said they had earlier received complaints about the rude and irresponsible behaviour of the crew of 'City Sons' which plied the Panangad route.
The bus owner's son Dileep Kumar is the prime accused in the molestation case. Criminal cases are pending against Appu from Thodupuzha, the cleaner who is evading arrest in the case.
"Three criminal cases are pending against the cleaner with Adimaly Police, including one of causing grievous hurt. Police teams have fanned out to track him," said Francis Shelby, circle inspector of Ernakulam Central Police.
Whenever similar cases came to light, bus owners' or operators' associations put the blame on 'militant workers backed by trade unions'. This time though, none of the four major bus owners' associations that are active in the city has condemned the crime by the bus owner's son who often stepped in as the conductor.
Neither have they initiated action against owners who instigate and connive with crew members to break the law.
Referring to action being taken by the MVD against the bus involved in Tuesday's incident, Ernakulam RTO B.J. Antony said the department had prepared a report.
A decision to suspend or cancel the permit of the bus will be taken based on a report forwarded by the police.
"The offence is a grave one, especially since it took place within a bus during day time. Even more worrying is the fact that the bus owner's son is the accused in the case. Bus crew members are statutorily bound to behave courteously with passengers."
Goons deployed
On criminal links of many bus owners in the city, Mr. Antony alleged that the owners often deployed goons along many routes to intimidate the crew of other buses.
The Ernakulam district secretary of Kerala Bus Transport Association (KBTA), Suresh Ommen, has urged victims to react against such crimes and rude behaviour by bus crew.
"Fellow commuters too must come to the aid of those in distress," he said, referring to the reported indifference of co-passengers to Tuesday's incident. He said many drivers engaged in stunts while driving to catch the attention of women passengers.
Mr. Ommen said many bus owners who found it tough to mobilise workers handed over buses to goons who paid a fixed amount to the owner. "They are behind most of the grave incidents of rash and intimidating driving. Policemen often turn a blind eye to their rule violations since the racket has a well-oiled system to grease the palms of vulnerable personnel. Such elements must be weeded out since they tarnish the image of bus owners and crew who abide by rules."
Passengers and motorists who are at the receiving end of rude behaviour and rash driving by bus crew have been demanding that the police engage in mufti patrolling to check them. A senior police officer said the patrolling was stopped after most men in mufti sided with the bus crew.

Put a different way, in a universe of increasing delivery methods,ad-sponsored e-mail continues to hold its own as a significant revenue stream. (It would be disingenuous not to mention here that we know this from experience, especially since many of you will see it in a ad-supported newsletter.) But AdAge sees it as a distinguishing characteristic that, in today's Ajax-centric, browser-based world, Bob Pittman's Pilot Group is counting on the e-mail model for payoff when it comes to many of its online content investments. (The investment in Stereogum would be an exception.)
Top of the list, of course, DailyCandy, with its reliance on e-mail to the point that its web site doesn't draw much in the way of significant traffic.
Instead, the site relies on COO Catherine Levene sounds downright dismissive of those crazy Web 2.0 kids: "There are a lot of these flashy Web 2.0 companies out there, and I don't know how many are making money and are going to survive." DailyCandy claims 900,000 unique subs representing 2.5 million subs for its editions. Another Pilot investment, Thrillist.com has 110,000 subs across three editions. "Light Green" newsletter Ideal Bite claims 150,000 subs (the media kit has 115,000) and 12 percent monthly growth for its daily email.
Sponsored e-mail makes a lot of sense for niche publications with audiences that aren't likely to ever be huge. It also requires some care, since people may react differently to something in their in box versus an article on a site. Last month I heard from a now-former subscriber to DailyCandy, who was dismayed by a rather arch e-mail touting a service she found to be "degrading." Her response: "I guess anything goes in today's world, but not anything goes into my email account."

Great helmet
Its hard to find paint designs and quality that match Suomy. The helmet is also very comfortable. The liner is very soft. FYI, be sure and try the helmet on and wear it around for at least 30 minutes. The shape isn't for everyone, and they seem to size smaller than other brands. Mine felt very tight in the cheek area, but it did loosen up after break in.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Wow ! Amen!
My faith is extra productive...I get what I say!
Yes with faith all things works perfectly.
Thats right!
For he remains the sovereign one.
I am happening, my faith is making things happen...kaya...
Clearly, God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God's law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.
So the promise is received by faith.
Therefore, activating the promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants--not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all.
As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.

Banyan Tree's festival dedicated to great poets of India, Hazrat Amir Khusrau and Saint Kabir; Khusrau-Kabir is all set to enthral the music lovers of Mumbai on Saturday.
India has been blessed by the presence of several poet saints through centuries. Among the most revered and popular from north India are Hazrat Amir Khusrau and Saint Kabir. This concert Khusrau-Kabir, celebrates the rich legacy of the two great geniuses whose works continue to guide us even today.
This festival in its 6th edition in Mumbai will present some very talented musicians, who will celebrate the works of these two great geniuses and bring alive their teachings on a singular platform.
Khusrau-Kabir 2014 will feature – contemporary presentations of Khusrau- Kabir: In this segment young minds will present the works of these two great saint poets. Popular singers Nandini Srikar, Shilpa Rao and Suchi from Mumbai, who are well trained artists known for their innovative interpretations and creative experimentations will be featured in this presentation.
This will be followed by Padma Shri Prahlad Singh Tipanya and group (Madhya Pradesh). One of the most compelling folk voices of Kabir in India, today Padma Shri Prahlad Singh Tipanya, combines singing and explanation of Kabir bhajans. Known for his folksy rendition of Kabir in the style of the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, which tugs at the heart, Tipanya said the saint is one of the most loved and revered mystics of India. "And why not? He was a fearless poet, reformer, critic, seeker and spiritual master. He spoke against hypocrisy in society regardless of its religious roots. His works are rich with spiritual wisdom, universal love, oneness of all creations and above all, the spiritual path and gratitude to the Satguru continue to inspire people from all walks of life."
This will be followed by the internationally celebrated Sabri brothers from Jaipur, Rajasthan, who will present qawwali. The Sabri brothers have enthralled the qawwali lovers across the globe. They have even taken the Bollywood by storm with their power packed performances and very knowledgeable renditions of qawwalies with tremendous lyrical beauty.

LAFOURCHE PARISH, La. A Galliano man was arrested after he was caught with over $9,000 in counterfeit money, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office.
Terry Guidry, 44, was arrested after a yearlong investigation for the production of counterfeit money. Friday, Lafourche agents caught him with $9,100 in phony bills, said a release from the sheriff's office.
Guidry was pulled over by agents in Raceland after it was learned that he would be carrying a large amount of counterfeit money. In addition to the counterfeit bills, agents found 'a glass pipe commonly used for smoking crack cocaine, as well as suspected synthetic marijuana, a second smoking pipe, and rolling papers,' said the release from the sheriff's office.
'Agents also executed search warrants on two storage units under Guidry's name in the Galliano area, and they located numerous items believed to be involved in the production of counterfeit money,' said the sheriff's office.
Guidry was booked with monetary instrument abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling and ground fighting based system, the principles of which are based on leverage and technique to control and subdue a bigger, stronger and more athletic opponent.
Not only has BJJ proved itself as a complete and effective self defence system, but it also is a great sport in its own right, as well as being a fundamental component of any serious mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters arsenal. At Elements Martial Arts BJJ is taught first and foremost as a self defence system, however it is as a sport and way of life that the journey of BJJ takes on a whole new meaning and has proved to be a very positive influence on most of its long term practitioners, both at Elements Martial Arts and elsewhere around the world.
See BJJ in action in these youtube highlight videos
Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is a hybrid system and philosophy of martial arts which integrates Eastern and Western arts into a direct and non-classical format. Unlike more traditional martial arts, JKD is neither fixed nor patterned, but a constantly evolving system based on a free and open guiding philosophy with the ultimate aim of self expression through combative development.
The JKD/Kali system employed at Elements Martial Arts comprises of a Western Boxing core, with influences of Jun Fan Gung Fu, Kali Empty Hands, Panantukan, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
JKD/Kali taught here is a very effective system of street self defence, taking the most effective aspects of the combative arts mentioned above and blending them into a seamless format to maximise their efficiency.
The guiding principles of JKD are:
Freestyle wrestling is a combat sport which confronts two competitors who try to gain control over their opponent through the use of throws, locks, leg trips, and clinching techniques. Contrary to Greco-Roman which only allows the use of the upper body, Freestyle holds can involve the legs in order to ultimately pin the the opponent�s shoulders to the mat. If a wrestler manages to do so, victory by �fall� is proclaimed, otherwise, the match pursues until the end of the regular time and the winner is decided according to the technical points scored.
Freestyle wrestling developed in Great-Britain and in the United States under the name of catch-as-catch-can and became the favourite attraction in fairs and popular celebrations during the 19th century. The goal of this discipline was to bring the adversary�s shoulder to the ground and almost all holds were allowed. Wrestling forms an essential part of the modern sport of MMA and should form an integral part of any serious martial artists skill-set.

Bunzie's Fave
posted 6 years ago
My bunny just loves this--it's fairly reasonable in price, easy to store. I put a little "clump" on top each time I fill her pellet bowl. She digs right in and seems to relish it.
