2005 Outlook
Dyches played in five games in 2004, as he split kickoff duties with senior Sandro DeAngelis, before regaining the starting place-kicking job for the season's final two games. Dyches made 2-of-3 field goals and both of his PAT attempts in 2004, and enters his junior year with a 67 percent career field goal success rate (16-24) and a perfect 34-of-34 record on extra-point attempts.
Dyches quickly moved to the top of Nebraska's depth chart as a true freshman in 2003, taking over the kicking duties in game two. He finished 2003 with 14-of-21 accuracy on field goals and was perfect on 32 PAT attempts. His 14 field goals tied the Nebraska freshman record. Dyches led the Huskers in scoring with 74 points and his average of 1.17 field goals per game placed him 35th nationally. Dyches was honored for his performance as Rivals.com named him an honorable-mention freshman All-American.
2004 (Sophomore)
2003 (Freshman)
Dyches took over for DeAngelis against Utah State in game two and hit on field goals of 23, 20, 29 and 26 yards. A week later, he hit 4-of-5 field goals against Penn State, including a season-long 41-yarder in the second quarter. With his four-field goal efforts, Dyches became just the third Husker kicker (five total games) and first freshman to connect on four or more field goals in a game.
He followed by hitting single field goals in each of Nebraska's next three games, including 40-yarders against both Southern Miss and Troy State. He closed out the year by hitting two of his final three FG attempts, including a 19-yarder in the fourth quarter at Colorado that gave the Huskers a 24-22 lead.
Dyches made a season-high five extra points against both Southern Miss and Texas A&M. His perfect PAT season was Nebraska's eighth since 1985, but the first in that span by a freshman. He also shared kickoff duties with Sandro DeAngelis before Sam Koch took over the duties in the Texas A&M contest.
Before Nebraska (Westfield HS)
As a junior, Dyches connected on 11-of-16 field goals and made 52 of his 55 extra-point tries. He was ranked as the nation's No. 12 kicker according to Rivals.com. Dyches capped his prep career by playing in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio in January of 2003. He had a strong performance in the game, including a 42-yard field goal.
Dyches was also a two-year starter for Westfield's baseball team and was a standout in the classroom, carrying a 4.33 GPA on a 4.0 scale in his junior and senior years. He chose Nebraska over Ohio State.

Real Madrid are weighing up a shock raid on Serie B Brescia for Polish youngster Bartosz Salamon.
The 17 year-old made his senior breakthrough at the end of last season against Modena and has been likened to former Brescia star Marek Hamsik, now of Napoli.
Real have been following Salamon since he began winning admirers playing for Lech Poznan's junior teams in Poland. The midfielder only moved to Brescia last summer, but has impressed Real observers by how quickly he has adapted to life in Italy.

Future smartphones may be bendable and stretchable, according to this article. Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles have developed a light-emitting electronic display by placing a single layer of an electro-luminescent polymer blend between a pair of new transparent, elastic-composite electrodes. "Our new material is the building block for fully stretchable electronics for consumer devices," says Qibing Pei, UCLA professor of materials science and engineering. "We believe that fully stretchable interactive OLED displays that are as thin as wallpaper will be achieved in the near future."

The Karnataka Mines and Geology department will set up 30 check posts all over the State from April 21 to curb illegal mining, officials said.
This follows the Supreme Court appointed Committee's recent findings on large-scale illegal mining in Bellary district, they said.
The check posts will examine iron ore permits issued by the mining department, tax receipts and quantity being transported from the mining regions of Bellary, Sandur and Hospet, they said.
Five vigilance groups have also been constituted to monitor iron ore transported to Karwar, Mangalore, Belekeri and Goa and Andhra Pradesh ports, they said.

Shawn Thornton: 'If I kept pace with [Ilya Kovalchuk] something is wrong with this game'
|03.22.11 at 11:38 pm ET
Shawn Thornton broke a 19-game goal-less streak in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Devils, but like many others in the Bruins' dressing room, was focused on the team getting a much-needed victory following the game. One topic that was visited in his post-game chat was the fact that he countered Ilya Kovalchuk's first-period tally with one of his own.
Thornton and Kovalchuk have a bit of a comical connection in that as late as December, Thornton had more goals than the $100 million man. The two have not kept pace, of course, as Kovalchuk now has 27 to Thornton's nine. Thornton said after the game that he was just happy that his goal, a Dennis Seidenberg shot that deflected off him, went in.
"I didn't even know I scored. It went off my pants and in. I thought I blocked it," Thornton said. I was going to curse myself for getting in front of it, but it found a way."
"If I kept pace with him, there is something wrong with this game," he added with a laugh. "I will take it anytime our line can chip in with one I'm happy."

Early birds treated to rare annular solar eclipse
MANILA, Philippines—Early birds on Monday saw the moon partially block the sun, making it appear like a ring of fire, a sight that will not be seen again for 18 years.
Folks who woke up early enough to see the sunrise were treated to some minutes of the rare annular solar eclipse despite overcast skies in some places, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said.
Mario Raymundo, an officer at the Pagasa Observatory in the University of the Philippines, Diliman, said observers flocked to the observatory to catch the glimpse of the eclipse on Monday morning. "It was visible but it was often cloudy," Raymundo said.
According to Pagasa's advisory, parts of the Philippines like north Luzon and Mindanao were cloudy due to the tailend of the cold front and the intertropical convergence zone.
This particular eclipse was first recorded in 984 AD, Raymundo said. It will be seen again in 2030.
The eclipse was already underway when the sun rose in the Metro Manila horizon at 5:27 a.m., he said.
And although there were clouds that often blocked the view, there was an interval of 10 minutes when the skies parted, giving onlookers a clear view of the partial annular eclipse, Raymundo said. The rare celestial event ended at 7:06 a.m.
Some Filipinos dragged themselves out of the bed early to photograph the once-in-a-generation sight.
Twitter user @countocram's photograph showed the moon blocking half of a glowing reddish sun that seemed to be floating on a black background. According to the photographer, the picture, which was shared by other news website, was taken at 6:35 a.m. in Cebu City.
In areas in Metro Manila, the maximum eclipse was seen at 5:58 a.m., when the moon obscured 61 percent of the sun. Raymundo said the city was too far down south of the eclipse's path to be able to see the full annular eclipse that was seen in China and North America.

My point in mentioning our former TT poster's 4.0 wake-up call is that the leap between levels is huge, and the higher you get the harder it is to improve. Perhaps TT looks good on camera and has pretty strokes, but we all know how difficult it can be to translate that to match play. I hope he achieves his goals, whatever those might be.
In the meantime, he should perhaps defer to people who play types of tennis he has never once played (ladies 7.5 combo, as in this thread) and those who actually have scaled the men's 4.5 mountain.
If he's serious, however, I do have words of advice based on what I have seen at TT:
If you want to move up, don't get married and don't have kids.
I'm purely gauging his potential talent. Sure, other things could get in the way, but I've seen guys like this and he has the core of what it takes to get to 4.5.
No higher than that though. I don't see his ball striking evolving to 5.0. Had he started 10-15 years ago, maybe.
Dunno about all the lessons, etc that folks dump cash on. I haven't paid for more than a dozen or so clinics (and never a private) in the past decade. Reliable hitting partners were my thing. And watching lots of tennis.

The price is great for a budget. But you don't get any frills.
You have to pay for wifi and the cheaper wifi is not that good.
This place is brand new, and as I understand it had been open no more than a month when we stayed there.
Staff was very helpful & friendly. Location great, breakfast good, big room, comfotable bed.
New towels are needed
Great location, Quality breakfast! What we expected.
Small pool, but it worked!
Big rooms - refrigerator and microwave.
Convient location
Breakfast was poor.clerk was not helpful inquired about a restaurant pointed to a list taped on counter asked didn't elaborate on any when I inquired no addresses on sheet of paper she didn't seem interested in discussing. Needs more training,
The room smelled bad, like rooms in most older motels do.
Very clean and modern.
At breakfast there wasn't any juice and the gravy was like water
Good price. Room was what was shown in photo. Met my expectation.
Continental breakfast was a container of powered doughnuts from Dillons, half a gallon of milk & imitation orange drink.

I have bought both a kitchenaid artisan stand mixer and this mixer and tried them side by side.
The recipe I made was a simple pizza dough with a maximum of 3 cups of flour and yeast and water (won't disclose whole recipe :-))
Kenmore Elite Kitchenaid
Noise Louder, but consistent sound (no grinding noise) Less Loud, but ginding noises can be heard on first use
Speed Same Same
Power 400watts 325 watts
Warranty 5 year replacement included 1 year replacement included
Price 179 299
Dough Mixing Hook Actually kneads dough Moves it around the bowl
Mixing Light YES NO
Number of Mixing Bowls 2 (5Qt, and 3Qt) 5 Qt
Attachments All KitchenAid Attachments All KitchenAid Attachments
Standard Use: If you use this mixer for just cake baking and cupcakes and whipcream creation then you need to probably get the kitchenaid if you want a wide range of colors. But if you want to make pizza dough or wheat breads or other things on a daily or even weekly basis you need to get this mixer because both will probably strip their gears out over the next five years but only one has a five year warranty and local replacement. So make the smart decision like I did, a mixer is going to be loud no matter what but if you want bread for home then you need to buy this kenmore Elite Stand Mixer
Murfreesboro, AR
The only thing 'elite' about this product is that it hides its flaws well... for a while. The first mixer I bought for my wife was a bit noisy but after 18 months, it would start on its own and then would not start at all. Returned it for this one, same model just red. Now after 14 months, same problem. Starts on its own, no known fix. Hand mixers from the dollar store are more reliable. When I pay this much for a small appliance, it better last a lifetime.
Kalamazoo, MI
I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. She makes all kinds of stuff with it. We have since bought some of the attachments rhat didn't come with it and she uses it atleast twice a week. Great buy.

I received this as a Christmas present in 2012. The adjustment screw began slipping during use, finally denting the bowl and chipping the paddle as I was mixing. In October I asked for a replacement. The replacement lasted 8 months before it developed an electrical short--would turn itself on, and sometimes wouldn't work at all. The 3rd unit had a damaged base that would not allow the bowls to lock into place. And when I asked for a refund, I was told that since it was more than 12 months since the original purchase I was out of luck even though not one of the mixers lasted that long.
Kaneohe, HI
We had this Kenmore mixer for a few months, using it only once or twice per month. One day it started on its own. We unplugged it to shut it off. When we plugged it back in, it blinked and did not work. According to the instructions, it does this when you plug it in with a speed other than 0 set. It seems it lost the 0 or OFF setting. The instructions said to return it to the store, so we did. After a bit of hassle, they exchanged it. A few months later, with the same light use, the second mixer turned itself on also, and quit working. This time I called customer service, as instructed by a card that came in the box (instructions still say to return to the store). I had to leave a message. It has been 3 weeks, and no one has called me back. We will not get another Kenmore mixer.
Broken Arrow, OK
Love this mixer. It's very heavy duty and has mixed everything perfectly. It did require a bit of adjustment out of the box, but we have never had to adjust it again and we've mixed quite a bit with it. Would recommend.
Austin, TX
Purchased this item 18 Months ago. Used it maybe 20 times. Unit began turning on by itself. Turned on with the head up or down. Then it began timing out and would not turn on for a number of hours. I can see from other review that this is not an uncommon occurrence. Think twice before buying!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloomfield Hills, MI
I know many say it's too loud but thats because it has a more powerful and reliable motor then the Kitchen Aid. Love it it's solid uses all the Kitchenaid accessories. You really notice the difference when you make bread with it the Kitchen aid can not hang with it.
First of all I want to say I am a big supporter of Sears, I have been a customer all my life. But I have had this Elite model for about 4 years, so I am an old hand about this mixer. I paid over $180.00 for it but now it is nothing but a boat anchor. Sears themselves will not repair them when they break down and the small appliance repair person Sears referred me to won't even repair them. The repair people told me that these mixers are made in China and they are hopeless to repair. I had a $15.00 hand mixer that lasted over 15 years, and I inherited my grandmother's Sunbeam stand mixer that is older than me and still works ~ and I am 62 years old. So I think when you pay this much for a mixer that Sears should put a longer warranty on them (dream on) and AT LEAST repair them when they break. It turns out that this repair shop WILL service the old Sunbeam so guess what I am going to do? The Elite was noisy and was so quirky it would just begin to start up when not in use while the dial was on "off" for no reason. I even wrote a story about it being possessed that made others laugh at the time, but now it is not so funny when I can't even repair a $200.00 mixer that only lasted less than 4 years.

This mixer is not the quality that Kenmore is known for. I received this mixer as a gift for Christmas. The first time I used it, I noticed that the paint on the paddle was beginning to chip off. This is poor quality and would like to receive a replacement of the paddle or possibly exchange the mixer for something of better quality.
Omaha, NE
I bought this for my wife's birthday and it was so loud that we couldn't even have a conversation while it was running. We returned it the next day and ended up with a kitchenaid professional 6000HD which is much quieter. I'm not sure if we got a bad unit or if all of them are that loud.
Merritt Island, FL
We bought this mixer 3 years ago, when the red became available, after comparing it to the Kitchen Aid--it seemed to be a good value, and used all the Kitchen Aid attachments. We have used it less than 25 times. One night it turned on by itself-all the controls were off! We unplugged it, and a few days later we tried it in another outlet-the machine started turning when the controls were off, and the arm was raised! Then, although the light was on, the controls no longer worked. I emailed Sears, but never got a response, so I took it to the store and was told the warranty was only 1 year, and I should've bought the extended plan for 3 years. Now it's worthless, and I will never throw away my money on a Kenmore product again if this is the way they treat their customers. We currently have a complete Kenmore Elite kitchen, but when the time comes we will replace the appliances elsewhere.
Valencia, CA
Nice mixer - like color. It does what it should, not noisy. The only problem would be absence of attachments. But, front attachments for Kitchen Aid will fit! Just got a grinder and it fits fine. Own it for 2 weeks.
Ashland, ME
A good mixer for the price, but it has drawbacks. I bought this in black (sleek) at a really good price a couple years ago. It works well and I like the work light, but it is so loud I'm considering wearing ear plugs when I use it for an extended time. I use the food grinder attachment to make large batches of mashed potatoes and the fruit strainer to make large amounts of applesauce. I have to wedge a folded piece of foil in between the attachment and the mixer to keep the attachment from wobbling. I also got the ice cream maker as I was told all the KA attachments/accessories fit this mixer, but the adapter for the paddle does not stay on the mixer. I'm still using it with extreme care and I don't make ice cream very often. Also, somehow a piece of the finish chipped off the beater. I haven't banged or dropped it and I always wash by hand. If I could afford the Artisan, I would get that instead. There were no reviews when I purchased mine. I sure wish there had been.
Orlando, FL
Love the red! I've wanted one of the [name brand] stand mixers for a long time and now I own the same quality with a Sears guaranty. I bought it at Black Friday pricing, too. Don't hesitate buying this mixer!!!
Stroudsburg, PA
via kenmore.com
Got this as a gift from hubby. It's more affordable (and available) than the red Kitchenaid stand mixer. It seems to bop up each time it's mixing, and is also quite loud. I checked to make sure everything was right but it still does it. Otherwise it works good, and does the job in my kitchen
the head jiggles up and down when kneading basic white 4 cup dough on "2". Was told not normal and to return. The second one does the same thing. Anyone else with this problem? Maybe it's normal. Otherwise works great
Monroe, LA
I love this mixer. It does most of the work and makes making icing more enjoyable. The only thing I will say is its not quiet!
Louisville, TN
We bought this two years ago and I have no complaints. We use this mixer twice a week for two years with zero problems. This compares to a Kitchenaid (which I think is made by Kitchenaid) for a lot less.
Painted Post, NY
I bought this for my wife to use for her side job; baking business, and she loves it! She raves about how well it blends dough compared to her old stand mixer and hand mixer. The build quality is excellent, and it comes with two bowls and several attachments. It embodies Kitchen Aide quality at a much more affordable price.
Bryan, TX
this mixer is the best to have, it is great for baking and making any sumptious dish great.

I not only like the eye-popping "candy apple red" color, but this mixer works very, very well. I like that it includes not only the 5-quart bowl but a 3-quart bowl, as well. I made a heavy carrot cake batter today and threw in the kitchen sink -- 3 cups of carrots, pineapple, coconut and pecans -- and this mixer handled it with no trouble, and there was no residual flour or dry ingredients in the bowl when I stopped the mixer and used a spatula to get down to the bottom of the bowl, as I had to do even with the Kitchen Aid mixer I had. It's a little noisy, but no more so than my old Kitchen Aid. I wish it came with a cover for the machine as it sits on the counter to keep it clean. Otherwise, I'm very pleased!

Not only is it more robust that the Kitchen Aid Mixer, but it has a light when you turn it on that illuminates what you're mixing. Also uses the accessories from Kitchen Aid as well. I love mine and I would highly recommend it.

This is my very first stand mixer, and I can't find anything to complain about. I have had it for almost 6 months now and it handles everything I do with no problems. It is a little on the loud side, but it's not like you run it for hours. Comes with quite a few attachments and 2 mixing bowls. Great value and a 5 year warranty. I really can't complain.

I have always wanted a stand mixer and finally took the plunge and took this Kenmore home. first off, love that I could get it in red to match the trimming in my kitchen. It does an amazing job and lives up well to my expectations. I highly recommend this item.

Have tried so many travel sets, but all leaking and creating a mess in the luggage.. these do not leak! thats all i ask for..
I've got loads of these little Aveda Refillable Travel Kits, collected over the years, but this one is lovely. The mini bottles and cream pot are so cute and at the same time very practical. The only reason this didn't get 5 stars from me is that, even with the discount, it was a bit expensive. But hey, I still bought it!
This Aveda Refillable Travel Kit is the best on the market. They never leak or break. Quality product. Perfect for holidays and business.

Gov. Perry: 'Here we come South Carolina!!!'
By Mark Memmott
Though he said last night that he would go home to reassess his bid for the presidency — a signal that he might drop out of the race — this message just popped up on the personal Twitter page of Texas Gov. Rick Perry:
"And the next leg of the marathon is the Palmetto State...Here we come South Carolina!!!"
CNN is saying it has confirmed with sources that Perry will indeed move on to campaign in South Carolina's Jan. 21 primary. Which also means, of course, that he isn't going to mount a full effort in New Hampshire before that state's primary next Tuesday.
Perry came in fifth last evening in the Iowa GOP caucuses.

Annual sessions measure moves forward to Oregon ballot
February 26, 2010
SALEM, Oregon: After much debate and revision of the proposed Legislature Annual Sessions Amendment, on February 25 the Oregon Legislature approved the measure for the November 2, 2010 statewide ballot. The final draft of the measure calls for a 160 day session in odd-numbered years and a 35 day session in even-numbered years. Previous versions included 160 day odd-numbered year sessions and 45 day even-numbered year sessions or 135 days in odd-numbered years and 35 days in even-numbered years.[1]
Oregon is currently one of five states that allows for lawmakers to meet every other year. However, in the most recent past Oregon legislators have opted to meet in "off years" for 2008 and 2010. According to reports, odd-year sessions last about six months but lasted a month or two longer in 2003 and 2005.[2]
In 1990 voters rejected a similar annual sessions proposal. Since then lawmakers have not been able to agree on a measure for the ballot. According to reports, a 2005 proposal died in the House. In 2006 a commission proposed a 120 day session in odd-numbered years and 60 day sessions in even-numbered years, but the proposal never made the ballot.[3]

Who was Alexander the Great?Posted on September 11, 2012 | No CommentsWho was Alexander the Great? He was a king, a conqueror and a tyrant.

Ced Hughes ft. Artel Carter - Popeye Jones Jr
Artist: Ced Hughes
Featuring: Artel Carter
Producer: CalRipkin
Album: Forever Never
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 9 votes )
Despite his illustrious career in college ball, his stint in the NBA and his current position as assistant coach for the Brooklyn Nets, Ronald Jerome "Popeye" Jones seems to get as much attention for his unusual looks as for his achievements. (To be fair, the nickname didn't do him any favors.) On freshly-released mixtape standout Popeye Jones, Jr., Ced Hughes continues that trend, using the retired baller to illustrate just how ugly sh*t is liable to get when he's in the room. Feel Dat emcee and fellow Virginian Artel Carter guests on this braggadocious banger, joining Hughes over the smooth sample work of project collaborator CalRipkin. Like what you're hearing? More awaits on the Forever Never LP, available exclusively in the Booth for free streaming and digital download.

2008 CFBAs: Best Non-BCS Blog
The voting is finished and it's time to present this year's College Football Blogger Awards. Where possible, last year's winner, ineligible to win this year, will be presenting the award to this year's winner. Please check in at Rocky Top Talk and EDSBS for a schedule of all the awards to be presented over the next two days.
The next award presentation - for "Best National Blog" - will be around 4 at SMQB
AWARD PRESENTATION: "Best non-BCS Blog"
(Before we start it should be noted that this category was incredibly close. The runner up was a point behind the winner, and the fourth-place blog was a mere four points adrift.)
Hawaii was this year's chosen amongst the non-BCS brethren, and though it all ended in tears and broken little island dudes against Georgia, an undefeated romp through the WAC and reaching the BCS is nothing to sniff at. Chronicling it all was the somewhat confusingly named "The Warriors Will Throw (You Off The Pali)", a news-aggregator sort of blog that comprehensively assembled anything related to Colt Brennan & Co for your Hawaii-fan edification. Just click on a random month in the archives, say November, and then be prepared to scroll. Lo, everything written about Hawaii every day in one convenient spot, along with a heap of video. Any team could use something so comprehensive.

2007 WINNER: Temple Football Forever
A one man-shame factory for any moderately beleaguered school without a dedicated blogger (Michigan State and Arizona, I'm looking at you), TFF is an actual, frequently updated, serious blog about Temple Football and, as such, is a permanent Job Award Nominee until such time as it actually wins the thing. Need ten reasons to attend Temple? Check. Anger about the UConn fiasco? Check. Various other things about Temple? Temple's football team? You know, the one you pick in NCAA so that you don't win a national championship for at least three years? Check.
Here is an award. Long may it last.
A Pickle
I think Michigan hockey is in one. There's so much jitter in the PWR -- one indication that it's not the world's most reliable system -- that the weekly "bracketology" columns that are all the rage are essentially useless, but we do know a few things: M, NoDak, CC, UNH, and Miami will be the top five seeds. Wisconsin and CC are both hosting regionals.
So I'm fiddling around with brackets and if you just set things up straight 1-16, you get this:
Regional #1
16 AH Auto
Regional #2
15 CHA Auto
7 Clarkson
Regional #3
11 Minn-Mankato
Regional #4
13 Wisconsin
5 Miami
12 Minny
This is pretty smooth, considering there are sixty WCHA teams in the field, but CC and Wisconsin absolutely can't be matched up against each other because they're both hosting and UW has to be in Madison. The switch with the most bracket integrity is to flip UW into the UNH bracket and send that to Madison, but that would strip Worcester of a #1 seed that plays its home games something like 25 or 50 miles from there and would probably send the M/Clarkson/SCSU/CHA bracket there, which would be attendance death.
The committee's other option: screw over either M or NoDak and bracket one of the top two seeds in Madison against a home team. Michigan is #2 and likely to remain there (at best) unless both CC and UND go belly-up. There's a long way to go and Wacky Things will no doubt occur, but I have a bad feeling that if Wisconsin is a four seed, we're going to play them in the first round no matter what.
Side note: All of these projections are overlooking the possibility of conference-tourney interlopers. With just two Hockey East teams and one ECAC team in the tourney right now, one or both of those conference tourneys is likely to be won by teams currently out of the field, so Wisconsin is about one slot away from being out of the tourney altogether, which is the best option for Michigan.
Side note #2: Western College Hockey takes issue with the WCHA-flood concerns expressed by Elliot Olshansky and Yost Built like so:
The Blog that Yost Built took a look at the WCHA's OOC performance. He brings up a ton of evidence against the WCHA, though all of it is still anecdotal. Wouldn't it be great if there was a system that took into account *every* game and objectively measured the quality of every opponent? Oh wait, you mean there already is a system like that? Ultimately, the beef here is with the ranking system that was agreed upon before the season started, not with the WCHA itself.
No one has questioned the WCHA's position as the preeminent college hockey conference, but I think it's fair to say that any system that says eighty percent of a particular conference should be in the tournament is broken. WCH cites the RPI as a system that "objectively measure[s] the quality of every opponent" -- and I guess you could cite KRACH as a similar system -- but RPI is a jerry-rigged ranking that gets fiddled with on a regular basis. The NCAA has changed the OOP percentage, win percentage, tough roadie bonus, and exclusion of RPI-hurting wins in the time I've been following college hockey. And they've done the same to the PWR, first increasing the length of the "L10" component to 16, then dropping it entirely, changing the TUC cutoff from a .500 record to a .500 RPI to the top 25 in RPI, and making the TUC record not count when you have less than ten games registered on top of all the fiddles with the RPI. College hockey is constantly dissatisfied with its system, and for good reason: like the BCS it regularly spits out nonsensical results.
Despite the NCAA's implicit acknowledgment that the PWR is unreliable, every year they hew to this rickety thing down to the letter, which makes no sense.
Another thrust from WCH:
I think we can all agree that North Dakota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Colorado College, and Miami are all solid tournament teams. If those six teams had formed their own conference prior to the start of the season, one of two things would have happened: Either everyone would have finished .500, or somebody would have had a losing record. Should they be excluded from the tournament because of that? The same is true in the WCHA, though to a lesser extent. If somebody wins a game, that means somebody else has to lose, even if both teams are good hockey teams.
Elliot said he'd rather see Notre Dame, Providence, and Princeton in the tournament than Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth, and Wisconsin. But what is there, other than overall record, to suggest that any of those teams belongs in the tournament more than the three WCHA teams? If you're going to take that step, why even bother with strength of schedule at all?
I think there's a terrific argument for including strength of schedule, but what we're talking about here is overrating SOS to the point where a team ten games over .500 in one of the top three conferences is in a position to be passed over by a team below .500. Does that make sense? Is there any evidence that the WCHA is so far superior to the CCHA that we should prefer the eighth-place WCHA team to the fourth place CCHA team, especially when that CCHA team has a split against #6 seed Denver?
The problem: the NCAA vastly overrates the importance of nonconference games. They form the basis for virtually all the SOS rankings and the COP category. Then they double-count SOS in a terribly arbitrary way by declaring games against the top 25 teams to be a special category all their own (thus eliminating UNO, NMU, and BGSU from consideration because each is three points adrift of the top 25!).
It's common sense: if you are one of the worst teams in your conference, you are not one of the best teams in the country and should not be afforded the opportunity to win a national title in a nigh-random pinball machine like a single-elimination hockey tournament.
2008 CFBAs: Best Big Ten Blog

Where possible, last year's winner, ineligible to win this year, will be presenting the award to this year's winner.

AWARD PRESENTATION: "Best Big Ten Blog"
(...and associated blogs run by those lunatics before they migrated to SBNation.)
At some point in the fall, Orson asked me if there was anything he had to read that he was not, and I had one crystal-clear answer: Black Heart, Gold Pants. A conglomeration of three or four different Iowa fans who ran sporadically updated but entertaining blogs of their own, BHGP was originally "The Hawkeye Compulsion" before getting noticed and picked up by SBNation, whereupon they became a staple in the Big Ten blogger's diet. They're up for a bunch of other stuff, too, despite being totally unheard of at the year's start, and that's because they put out killer, killer content.
I know BHGP is smarting because they didn't win (again, you Susan Luccis you), but here is balm for their souls:
Feel better.

2007 WINNER: Black Shoe Diaries
Obama will be heartened to know that the way to win in Big Ten country is to be associated with the color black.
Uh... anyway, Black Shoe Diaries is the most consistent and excellent Penn State blog out there, and with PSU blogs beginning to rival those of Notre Dame, Michigan, and Georgia in terms of sheer quantity that's no mean feat. A testament to BSD's dedication: Mike continues to follow Penn State's basketball team. While this is not technically a college football achievement, anyone even slightly familiar with Penn State basketball can only imagine the dedication put into coverage of Penn State football, motto: "basically as full of white guys but much, much better." Though this site has sparred with BSD in the past, Mike remains one of the true gentlemen of the college football blogosphere and is a deserving recipient of an award.
Here is an award.
No... seriously, this picture of JLeman should be an award.

BON's great contribution to the wonkier outliers of the college football blogosphere was diarist Horn Brain's devastating, continued expose of Richard Billingsley's ongoing debacle masquerading as a poll, but Peter, et al., also cranked out a daily dose of Texas-specific analysis that makes BON one of the top team-specific anythings out there.

Le duh! Let's take a brief gander at SMQ's front page as of right now. It contains:
- A detailed analysis of Boise State's dominance in the WAC vis a vis other intra-conference contenders
- A "we can rebuilt it" analysis of Alabama
- A detailed etymology of the term "single wing" (a guest post from MGoBlog-ite Tyler Sellhorn, but still)
- The Big Ten edition of SMQ's gigantic, perpetual "Stats Relevance Watch"
- An out-of-character but devastating fisk of Mike Freeman, aaaaand
- that video of Michigan's women's basketball coach going loco.
Not included: "Best Recurring Feature" nominee "Life on the Margins," any of SMQ's penetrating insights into what will and what did happen during the season, or his Absurdly Premature, Reasonably Anticipatory, or Frantically Rushed team previews. The only shame is that MGoBlog was not eligible so that SMQ could give this space the thorough beating it deserves. Congratulations, here is an award.
While I Was Gone
The cloaking mechanism broke. I blame Romulan saboteurs. It should now be repaired, which means mgoblog.com will work again. If this happens in the future, mgoblog.blogspot.com will still work.
Hockey split against Michigan State and Ferris State. Results: one CCHA title, one lost #1 ranking in the Pairwise, and burgeoning concerns about how good the team really is. Other than a lackluster pair of 4-2 wins over Lake State, each of which was a close game that looked more comfortable than it was because of an empty-netter, Michigan hasn't swept an opponent since the mid-January Notre Dame series. There are plenty of mitigating factors -- the Kolarik injury, some questionable play by Bryan Hogan, atrocious refereeing in the Miami series, and plain bad luck in spots -- but a 5-3-4 stretch run is quite a comedown for a team that was 22-2 before that.
Michigan's hold on a top-two spot is now extremely tenuous. Before Saturday's games they had ceded the #1 spot in the PWR to Colorado College; a CC loss to Minnesota State repaired the damage but the comparison remains terribly close. Meanwhile, an OT goal salvaged a 2-1 victory over Minnesota-Duluth for North Dakota, pushing their RPI ahead of Michigan's and giving them the #1 overall spot.
Michigan is now second with CC breathing down their neck. If CC passes Michigan, they'll miss the opportunity to take on a CHA or Atlantic Hockey autobid team. Worse, Wisconsin continues to linger around the edge of the tourney. They're currently the last #4 seed, and if that holds up Michigan's almost definitely going to draw them in the first round at home, for the following reasons:
- CC has to play at home since they're hosting,
- in this scenario NoDak is one of the top two seeds and has earned the right to get an autobid team, which they will do out East because Wisconsin is also hosting,
- UNH would be the other #1 seed and will almost definitely end up in Worcester for attendance purposes,
- the tournament selection committee always finds a way to screw Michigan since the back-to-back Yost regionals.
This last reason may be mad ravings, but the others are solid. Of course, given the way Michigan's game against Wisconsin went at the Showcase a first-round matchup with UW might not be the worst thing in the world.
Both CC and NoDak have two more regular season games before the WCHA playoffs; you want them to lose against Denver and Saint Cloud, respectively. Splits would be enough to temporarily send Michigan to #1.
As for the rest of the comparisons, Michigan's meh final two weeks hasn't lost them any ground but it hasn't guaranteed them anything, either. They have secured comparisons against State and Denver, but CC and NoDak are now neck and neck with M. UNH and Miami could conceivably pass Michigan if M flops in the playoffs. My ballpark estimate of what will happen:
- Fail to get to the Joe: Unless another of the top five implodes in similar fashion, M falls into the #5 slot and becomes the top two seed. Since Michigan will be playing at best the #8 team in the league, this is unlikely.
- Get to the Joe and go 0-2. See above. Winning those two games against a weak, non-TUC CCHA team isn't going to help them much.
- 1-1 at the Joe. Could be the #5 if the rest of the top five wins out (at least, as much as possible in the UND/CC cases), but probably the #3 or #4 seed; very probably going to be in Madison.
- Win CCHA Playoff top two seed, autobid foe in the first round.
There's plenty left to play for. One relief: there's no goddamn way we end up in a regional with North Dakota and Minnesota.
Elsewhere: Yost Built on the weekend. The Saturday game at Ferris wasn't televised, so I can't say anything. On Friday I don't think Ferris had more than one or two even strength scoring chances the whole game, but the penalty kill gave up three goals. Hill, the referee, was fine through a period, then started calling all manner of weird stuff including an interference call on Michigan after someone hit a guy who either still had the puck or had released it a split second before. Woo refs.
The Pairwise went crazy. There are ten teams in the WCHA. If the season ended today, eight of them would be in the tournament. Since these teams will continue to beat each other up in the final two weeks of the season and three of them must lose first-round playoff series, one or two will probably drop out. But at this point it would be a huge upset if only half the conference made the tournament. Which is, of course, insane.
Yost Built covered this in-depth. The WCHA's impressive nonconference winning percentage is largely built many games against the weaker conferences. Head-to-head against HE and the CCHA it's different:
Still, the top eight are 14-11-4 against the CCHA and Hockey East (and the top 4 are 8-7-2). That doesn't paint the picture of WCHA dominance that people would have you otherwise believe.
College hockey's system has always been strictly numerical and that's been both blessing and curse. The "curse" bit: rampant over-rating of a scanty few nonconference games. Most of the difference in a team's SOS comes from the wins and losses its opponents rack up in the six or eight nonconference games they play, and many of these are against the Bemjidi States and Wayne States and RITs and Alabama Huntsvilles of the world.
The WCHA is a fine conference, undoubtedly the best in college hockey. What the SEC believes it is to college football, the WCHA actually is to college hockey. But a couple of nonconference games here and there shouldn't be enough to override a season's worth of play in conference. Is the difference between the CCHA and WCHA so severe that we should prefer a WCHA team 5 or 6 games under .500 in conference over a CCHA team that's 6 games over .500? That's the situaton we have at the moment.
If a 12-14-6 Minnesota-Duluth or a 13-13-9 Minnesota gets in over 22-12-4 Notre Dame it'll be a terrible injustice. Though ND has struggled from time to time this year, they still sit 12th in RPI. What's holding them back is the Pairwise's stupid decision to count games against the top 25 double and ND's poor record against these foes. ND's nonconference schedule is tourney-worthy -- 7-3 with a split against Denver and a sweep of tourney bubble team Princeton -- and they aren't, like, eighth in their frickin' conference. The NCAA should declare by fiat that any team in the bottom half of its own league doesn't deserve a bid, and they should do it tomorrow.
So did the basketball coach. After Michigan's loss to Northwestern, John Beilein lost all his hair and about twenty pounds, then went bats in video you've already seen sixteen times:
Mmm, that's good crazy.
Tommy Amaker what? Some things are constant with Tommy Amaker, like his team sucking and causing Michigan to lose. Other things... what?
...[Harvard's] group of six recruits expected to join the team next season is rated among the nation's 25 best. This is partly because Harvard Coach Tommy Amaker, who starred at Duke and coached in the Big East and Big Ten conferences, has set his sights on top-flight recruits. It is also because Harvard is willing to consider players with a lower academic standing than previous staff members said they were allowed to. Harvard has also adopted aggressive recruiting tactics that skirt or, in some cases, may even violate National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.
(I have no idea who or what rated the Harvard class amongst the top 25 in anything; it's definitely not Scout or Rivals.) Oh, sure now he starts skirting NCAA rules to haul in good recruiting classes.
Northwestern Penn State what? Bleargh! After limping through an ugly win over Illinois, Michigan was on a four-of-five roll and faced two games against perennial doormats Northwestern and Penn State. Of course, they lost these games. UMHoops highlights the downfall in both games:
Another player posts his career high against Michigan. It's been a problem all year, whether it is Rice, Leuer, Grant,Coble, Moore, McKenzie or Battle they all do it the same way: rain three pointers on the Michigan defense. You don't win games in the BigTen when you allow your opponents to shoot 55% from deep in a game (box score).
No, you don't. Dylan continues, asserting that a 15-0 run on five straight threes is reminiscent of the team when it was run by a certain turtlenecked, fade-sporting Duke alum. Indeed, it is, and that might indicate the problems Amaker left the Michigan program still plague it and will until Beilein gets a different sort of player in. When I looked at Beilein's 1-3-1 zone I noted that said zone was not terrible against the three:
The traditional way to beat a zone -- rain threes on it -- appears less effective against the 1-3-1 than most. West Virginia was seventh(!) in 3FG defense this year at 30.3%, and opponents didn't get off an inordinate number of them: 33.7% of opponent shots, good for a middle-of-the-pack 151st. This isn't nearly as consistent as the turnovers, thoug(h. Last year's Sweet 16 outfit was still above average at 34%, but the two years before that were ugly. However, in no year did teams get off an inordinate number of threes. WVU has hovered around the national average.
This year, Michigan opponents are making it rain: Michigan is 312th (of 341) in opponent 3PT% and 217th -- well below average -- in the percentage of three-pointers opponents launch. Opponents are also making 49.4 percent of their two pointers and getting a ton of offensive rebounds; the resulting defensive efficiency (106.7 points per 100 possesssions) is an unstirring 280th. They aren't forcing the rampant turnovers Beilein's teams usually do, and thus the defense is dead.
The offense: 49th in three point shots, 301st in making them. End of story.
Baseball tied the Mets, then sucked. Michigan tied a professional team 4-4 and led in the ninth before a two-run homer. For some reason, an attempted Kevin Cislo bunt (in the fourth inning!) enraged Mets closer Billy Wagner:
If he got that bunt down, I would have drilled the next guy. Play to win against Villanova.
Uh... what kind of weird bunting bushido lesson did I and the rest of the free world miss? If anyone needs further evidence this Wagner guy is mental: Jim Rome enthusiastically agreed with him. QED.
Michigan, coming off a season-opening three game sweep of Villanova, proceeded to go 1-3 in the next four, getting smoked by #1 Arizona State twice and losing in extra innings to Portland. There was a win against Hawaii in there somewhere.

"The Divide Route in the Multiple Smash Concept" by Smart Football.
Hey, this is kind of the reason we made jury awards for certain categories. Smart Football is low traffic, posts every month or two, and exists only in the feed readers of wonky football obsessives who would like things explained to them very slowly by trained professionals in an effort to become one with their dork. Smart Football does this with aplomb, and though its posting rate and overall traffic made us pretty sure it wasn't going to win Best Analysis -- these things are usually go with what you know -- each post is a little jewel of clarity.
An excerpt:
I refer here to the "Smash concept" or the "Smash route." Both refer to a two-man combination with the outside receiver on a 6 yard hitch and the inside receiver on a 12 yard corner route. Some coaches and teams go further and actually refer to either the corner route or the hitch route as a "smash" route. Again, "smash" to me is the combination - i.e. the concept - rather than any individual route.
In any event, the quarterback has a progression read: (1) corner, (2) hitch underneath. In his progression read he will "key" the cornerback: If the cornerback sinks back to stop the corner route, throw the hitch; if he comes up for the hitch, throw the corner. The best way to describe this to a QB is that you have a progression read and you "read" your receivers. You simply "progress" from one to two. In doing this though you have to understand what guys you are "keying," as their reactions should determine your progression. A Quarterback must understand defenses and defender reactions, but at the same time there is no telling where those 11 guys on defense will go, and as long as he knows where his receivers are and if the QB and the receivers are all on the same page we can run a successful play. We tell him his general rule is to throw the corner route until they take it away (though by gameplan or defense you can tell him to always throw the hitch until they come up for it).
This is the basic explanation; things get more big-play oriented and complicated as they progress, but Smart Football never wanders off into seriously incomprehensible jargon. By the end you feel like you have a handle on an important facet of beating zone coverage, down to the slight adjustments in each receiver's route, and at no point are you overwhelmed. Clearly explaining a difficult, obscure concept is a terribly hard thing to do, so we give out awards for it. Here is an award.

Recently my foundation of choice has been Josie Maran Matchmaker Serum Foundation, because it's as easy as lotion to apply, and I don't have to worry about streaks or lines of demarcation. I needed some powder for my shiny nose. Since the "matching" works so well with Matchmaker, Almay powder seemed like a reasonable purchase. I have not tried Josie Maran Matchmaker Powder, so I can't compare it with Almay, but compared to the liquid Matchmaker, Almay powder becomes a totally different, unflattering color on me. It doesn't blend with my skin at all...it starts out white and turns gray. Most face powders itch on my skin ( bismuth oxychloride is the biggest irritant, but both rice and corn starch also bother my skin!), so I figured Almay's dimethicone-base was a safe one to try. While it did not itch, and it had a very nice finish, the powder in shade (Medium) never became anything close to my skin. I know Almay rarely has shades that go darker than "Light", but I thought maybe the "self-adjusting" part would even my skin tone a bit. Nope. Made it worse.

I bought this product recently and I've found myself using it everyday!
It keeps me shine free but also gives me a nice, healthy glow to my skin.It hasn't irritated or broken out my skin which is also a good sign.Being on a budget, I found this product super inexpensive and it surprised me quite a lot in terms of product quality.
I agree that the packaging could be better... but I would definitely repurchase!

translucent powder, makes my skin look blotchy (oily t zone) and overall, an alright pressed powder if you're looking for something cheap and sets your makeup.

This powder has no extra color. When put on the face, it is sheer. It has decent oil control, but I like more color and better oil control. Will not rebuy.

Great powder.
I use it for setting sometimes but mostly just for touch ups when I start to get shiny.
Hasn't caused any breakouts and the colour is pretty much translucent.
The only bad thing is that the mirror is underneath the pot--- ummm not sure who came up with this horrible design but its not functional AT ALL.
ill buy again.
EDIT: something in this irritates my skin, making it itchy and prickly.

Love this powder! I have combination skin that starts out dry in the morning and gets oily/shiny later in the day. Most powders make my skin look older and cakey, very dry. Even the HD loose powders do this to me. Amazingly, this powder does not. I use it at midday after blotting oil, and my skin looks almost flawless. It's very silky and works well without drying or making me break out. I'm a NC15 with very light olive skin and purchased this powder in color 010 Light, which is a great match and does the job well. I will definitely buy this again.

Almay smart compress is a great addition to their smart line. I use the mousse and the powder together and it works out great. Only problem you may find is if you have dry skin or acne underneath you will have spots of flakes. that's pretty much every pressed powder i've tried. the consistency is really nice and soft . The white is supposed to be moisturizing I think, but I don't think it's any different than the colored part. in summary its a good pressed powder that I would probably purchase again

This powder really worked for me. It didn't make me look shiny, evened out my skin and stayed on all day! The only thing I'd say is that the powder box it's in broke open right after I used it, and I had to buy another one. Also, they should get a better powder brush as I had to buy another one.

This comes in a nice little package, with the bottom snapping open to reveal a small brush... Overall it's a neat little compact that you can carry easily for convenience.
I don't find much use for this just on its own, to be honest - it just dusts on and doesn't have enough definition to mask whatever blemishes or imperfections are beneath, normally... But I love it in combination with my bb cream/foundation. It's very easy for me to look oily, and this sets things and matches well with my skin tone. The package isn't too bulky, either, so it's easy to just toss in my purse.

I think I don't like the dimethicone in this product. Makes my combo oily skin look like crud
Perhaps I used too much though, and it might look better if I applied a primer underneath.

Speccy User Reviews
Very good
out of 155 user reviews
"A very good program to give you the info you need."
Version: Speccy 1.21.491
Small footprint, easy to use and understand.
None at this time.
This is a good tool for your tool box. Why pay more for less. Give this one a chance. You will not be disappointed.
"Great for monitoring temperatures"
Version: Speccy 1.21.491
Stupidly easy to use.
Just open it and it does everything you need.
Easy to read layout.
Does exactly what I wanted it to do.
None that I can find.
My computer kept unexpectedly shutting off when I was in the middle of doing stuff. I thought it might be overheating. I was looking for an easy program to monitor the temperature. This totally does the trick. Easy to read display shows you the temp of your processor, motherboard, and hard drive, and the color goes from yellow to darker yellow to red as it gets hotter. It very clearly showed that my cpu and motherboard were both overheating, and I was able to correct the issue. Couldn't have asked for more. I still run it in the background from time to time and see what effect different processes have on the overall temp. It's very handy.
Near as I can tell, it doesn't let you change anything, only monitors performance and temperatures and displays it. If you're looking for something that lets you control stuff and make changes to your system settings, I don't think this is it. But if you're just looking for something to show you the status of your system, this does the trick.
"Nice and useful app!"
Version: Speccy 1.20.446
Free, & all the data you need about your system at your finger tips.
None that I can point to.
I was looking for an app to give detailed system info on CPU, RAM, hard drive, etc. This app does not disappoint. Gives more info than CPU Z.
"Simple, clean, useful"
Version: Speccy 1.20.446
Does what it says it does, no spyware, no ads. Everything you need or want to know about your computer, this little program will let you know.
Not much help to figure out what all those numbers mean
"Good program to check specs of computer."
Version: Speccy 1.19.411
Works great to identify hardware even on Win 8.
Easy to install and run.
Excellent for reference.
Not really a conn but cannot check for update drivers for hardware found with software.
Overall, it is a handy program for people like me that build and test computers.
"Very handy program"
Version: Speccy 1.19.411
Quick to operate, thorough, detailed information
None to speak of
Very handy application to have in your tool box.
"Very Useful Tool"
Version: Speccy 1.19.411
Tiny app. that gives you all the information you'd ever need about your system.
None that I've found.
I would recommend this app. to anyone.
"Very good little program"
Version: Speccy 1.19.411
Quick download and small size. It is easy to transfer to a jump drive for use anywhere. One big plus is that it will check the status of a laptop battery and let you know where it is in the life cycle. Plus it will give you more information than you know what to do with.
None that I have found.
It is well worth having in your tool box.
"Very useful software, especially beginners."
Version: Speccy 1.18.379
I like it, it's not my most frequently used soft but it'd nice.
I haven't notice much of a change, therefore I assume that it was primarily covering weaknesses, and that's really no a con. I just have to fill in "cons".
Especially for laptops it's nice to see if anything is overheating.
"it gives me all I want to know about my PC"
Version: Speccy 1.18.379
It gives in great detail all that is in my PC
does not show my pictures or my music

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Brief History Veronica King is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and former girlfriend of Chris McCarthy, a fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. When Chris seemingly disappeared after wearing the newest Ant-Man costume (he actually had shrunken in size), Chris' college and friend Eric O'Grady took his chances and took a shot at Veronica. He falsly told her that Chris was cheating on her. Veronica was extremely mad and disapointed and wanted to find Chris as soon as she could. It was however that moment that Hydra attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. base. During these attacks, Chris was killed in action while wearing the Ant-Man suit. Eric took the suit from him during the battle to become the new Ant-Man. Later on, both Veronica and Eric griefed over the loss of their good friend Chris. The two drew closer to eachother because of their shared grief over Chris, and soon started dating and even slept together once. Veronica however thought it was wrong for them to be together at that moment, still greaving for Chris, and the two split up. She still thought Chris had cheated on her. Not soon however, Veronica became pregnant of Eric's child. It was then that Eric confessed to Veronica all the horrible thing he had done and said to her. He told her that he would never be good enough for her and that he was sorry he could not be there for her. He left, and Veronica has not been seen since. Whether she had the baby or not remains to be seen.

AVG 2013 problems with start up.
Likes # 0
Posted November 5, 2012 at 9:20AM
For many years I have used the AVG (free) program & been very happy with the protection provided.Recently I had to update to the 2013 version (free).Since that update my computer takes so much longer to start up & shut down.Additionally the AVG is frequently turned off at start up & I have to go to security centre to start it.Sometimes it wont accept the start up & remains turned off. Any suggestions please ? Thanks. I am running ; W/vista. Spybot has not shown anything up.

Are you certain that you have the free version installed? I have just sorted out a similar problem on a PC by downloading it again and making sure that the free version was chosen instead of the free paid-for version trial offer. There is no firewall included so make sure that your Windows Firewall is turned on. Try this to see if it makes any difference.
There are many posts on the net about this and other problems relating to AVG 2013 but no real solutions other than to consider using a different free anti-virus such as Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Renowned artist K.M. Adimoolam died at his residence here on Tuesday. He was 69 and ailing for sometime. He is survived by his wife and two sons. The cremation was held on Wednesday.
Fondly called Adi among his friends, Adimoolam came to be noticed even as a student of the School of Arts and Crafts in the early 1960s. The Chennai chapter of the Lalit Kala Akademi gave its award to him for three consecutive years from 1963. During Mahatma Gandhi's birth centenary celebrations in 1969, he came out with 100 drawings, reflecting various moods of Bapu.
His style was figurative in the beginning stages of his career. Later, it became non-representative and eventually, abstract painting. Closely associated with the little magazine movement in Tamil, he was a pioneer in the production of book covers and magazine illustrations.
Noted for indigenisation of the Abstract Expressionist heritage, Adimoolam was of the view that works of abstract painting might mean many things to viewers at different times. The amount of joy one derived by making interpretations was something that one could not get from other forms of art, according to the artist.
Winner of several awards and honours, Adimoolam received the Akademi's national award in 1979 and the award of the Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata, in 1973.
Adi's close friend, Achuthan Kudalur, himself a leading painter, says Adi's line drawings were famous for penetrative power.
The way he handled space in abstract painting was magical. He modified the Tamil script and gave a new face to it.
