Every day I read and hear a lot about SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and SEF (Search Engine Friendly) urls.
For me the number one question is "are the urls HEF (Human Ear Friendly)?"Read more ...
Of course he does. If he still has time to use the net then it's a fairly safe bet that at some point he will visit a joomla powered web site.
With Joomla being used by the UN, National Governments, leading NPO's and US Senators and Governors he surely must.
But that isn't what this blog post is really all about or why there is a photo of lion accompanying this blog post.
Wow has it really been four years since Peter Russell and I sat down and wrote the press release that announced the birth of Joomla!.
So much has changed since then and yet so much is still the same.
Happy Birthday and congratulations to everyone who was there on that day, September 1st 2005.
In 2006 Johan and myself celebrated the first bithday with a cake and a candle at the first Joomla!Day in the UK.
Will you be celebrating today or perhaps having a JUG (Joomla User Group) party?
(I really should consign that photo to the trash - it was certainly a bad hair day. )
The web was meant to be read, not squished.
This isn't the way to test a responsive design.

COURT REPORT: Defendant in dismemberment case deemed competent for trial
A man charged with strangling his girlfriend and forcing their 12-year-old daughter to help dismember the body has been found competent to stand trial.
James Hawkins, 31, is facing the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in the Feb. 9 killing of Charlene Gaither.
In a brief hearing this morning in Criminal Court, Judge Chris Craft was told that a mental evaluation showed that Hawkins understands the charges against him and is able to assist his court-appointed attorneys in his defense.
Gaither was killed in the couple's Raleigh apartment and Hawkins reported her missing three days later.
The couple's daughter testified in a hearing in May that Hawkins strangled her mother and threatened to kill her as well if she did not help him cut the body apart with a circular saw.
She said he also made her help him bag the body parts and dispose of them in DeSoto County. Only the torso was recovered.
Hawkins remains in jail on $2 million bond. His next court date is Feb. 4.

Carter: Just, let it be already, man
I remember sitting in the Strand Theater in downtown Wichita Falls watching "Let it Be," a somewhat live documentary about The Beatles and the group's last album (to be released) before they quit. The last album they actually recorded was "Abbey Road."
Anywho, sitting in an almost empty theater that day, watching The Beatles on film I thought how sad that it was all ending. "Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on" as the song went. The band never fully reformed—even for a show.
Last Tuesday I found myself in a very interesting situation attending what was most likely the last show by my favorite area band. In the grand scheme of things, John Henry Vs The Machine were never going to do world tours or anything that people in New York City or even Detroit were likely going to hear about.
They were one of a kazillion bands formed since the rock era of the '50s began. But while Elvis Presley had played Wichita Falls and even any number of major '50s rockers, we never had the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who or any of those other great rockers play here.
Does Ted Nugent, Poison or Toto count? I kinda don't think so.
But, for $5 you could go see John Henry and any number of other local all-ages metal bands, be it Southern metal, Death metal or Grindcore, play some really good live shows. And there was no rock star attitude, no waiting two hours for the band to play, no "you're not cool enough to talk to me" attitudes.
Last Tuesday night, the five members of the band got together for what could very well be their last time at their practice place. The economy sucks and one of the guys had to find a job far away. Whether he comes back or not is up in the air.
The members of the band came together to hit it one more time, and they did. Big-time. They did all of their really good songs plus played a couple that had not yet been heard. Since they were not being recorded, it was almost like the music dissolved into the air after the songs were played.
It's a shame that the last time the band played a show, no one knew it was to going to be their last. And even worse is that the next several shows they were scheduled to play were really being looked forward to.
Nothing is forever, nor should it be in rock, and they'll be missed. Unless they gather together again sometime in the long future. Or, unless several or all of their remaining musicians form together something else that is interesting in some other way.
Finally, Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights played an absolutely rocked-out set Friday night at the Pub. They sounded somewhere between the Faces and Sly. They'll be back and I suggest you be there. It's rock meets soul meets blow with energy and a beat!
Until next week and some cool gossip.

Green Egg
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2008)
Green Egg is a Neopagan magazine published by the Church of All Worlds from 1968 through 1976 and 1988 through 2000, and restarted in 2007. It was created by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, who was the editor from 1968 to 1974.
It started as a one-page ditto sheet, but by 1976 had grown over 80 issues into a 60-page journal. According to J. Gordon Melton, it became "the most significant periodical in the Pagan movement during the 1970s and made Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, its editor, a major force in Neo-Paganism.".[1][2]
In March 2007, Green Egg was restarted as an Ezine, available online at greeneggzine.com. With permission from Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, it was resurrected by Ariel Monserrat and Tom Donohue, who were the publishers and editors of Green Egg until January, 2015, when Tom retired and Ariel began co-publishing with Dawn Sevier, who is also the Managing Editor, as well as being co-publisher with Ariel Monserrat. It will be strictly online only and not in print.

You just received the care pack but I see you have a Blue Steel Paw… Was the delivery slow or you sold tons of themes in zero time?
I randomly found those online ads with some of my clips! There must be a few more from Videohive, in this one I've recognized a timelapse from EmperorVFX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrwkWbSh4lk
And in this one most are mine from Italy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wety26IktoE Glad to see there's a beautiful latin girl speaking in front of my shots!
And this is a timelapse reel from an italian master: http://vimeo.com/60802908 I guess we all know where the opener comes from

Link Removed posting the link is ilegal means kindly remove….
Despite this 50% discount Envato is still cheaper than them, which is already kinda ridicolous!
Sales speaking, November was 3rd best month ever.
Best acting, best dialogues and best rolling in history! This was my first time appearing in a movie, 2 days of super fun! I appear for seconds in other episodes too, maybe I'll postthem later on!
Bravo! That escalated quickly!
I wish I was born with passion for HTML!
-Get a small glass cup
-Put a teaspoon of Nutella on the bottom
-Pour one Espresso or the most concentrated coffe you can make
-Froth some milk and pour it on coffe making sure to pour milk first then foam
-Top with some cocoa
-Thank me later
Well actually most of us are selling in the future!
I'm 10 hrs behind Envato timezone and starting from 2pm italian time I'm already making money in the day after!

Hey everyone! I know that you were hoping for immediate action and I'm sorry that that's not what you got. I did look into it and I think there's potential, but we haven't had time yet to really dig in deep or make actual changes. I know that this is important to you and that no one wants to feel like they're being put on the back-burner. For that I'm sorry. I don't have a date for you yet, but please know that I haven't forgotten. Thanks for double checking either way!
Hi Lance, any update on low price issue for stock footage/motion graphics ? Any actions planned yet?Best Regards, Andrey
Single shot Espresso, Lavazza Qualità Oro. The way to go!
Edit: I was actually drinking one while i was writing this
I would like to bring some attention back to this topic after 11 months of silence. What happened here is that one of my favourite authors, Mwilson, decided to remove most of his clips from his exclusive portoflio.
Check by yourself, have a look at his porfolio. Remember the crazy dolly shot in the back seats of the car from window to window? I do, and it's gone! It was a masterpiece of outstanding creativity and quality. Rare, very rare on this website. Now, in your opinion guys, why did he decide to remove entirely his videos from this marketplace? I would be glad to hear his response if he will ever read this, but I think we can find the reason in his first post of the thread when he talks about his pricing policy frustration.
Well, we have been talking for so long about stock footage pricing that I don't want to repeat it again, but what happened here should be a clear warning for Envato in order to take some quick actions! A low pricing policy is what is keeping new authors away from this site, and apparently also the reason why some authors are deciding to leave! Envato can increase the quality standards in the reviewing process as much as they want and come up with the best ideas on this planet but still, oustanding filmmakers here are just a few and the rest are working somewhere else…
Any ideas to face this problem?

Bowl Chronicles: Get Your Shopping Done Early Edition (Updated for tonight)
Updating the Diary to include writeups on the second to games today.
Ok, so Bowl Season is finally upon us. Since my Big 10 Picks were so well received, I figured I would do some 'pick essays' during the bowls. There were some issues this morning posting on this site, or I would have had this up about three hours ago. Do I feel sheepish posting this promoting Navy as a bet when they're winning already at the half? No, not really. I think its a pretty good read and this game has a long, long way to go. We'll see if my analysis is correct or not.
So, without further adieu, I give you some insight on the EagleBank and New Mexico bowls....there are two others on later and I will update this Diary (or start a new one, this already looks like someone puked up a bunch of copy) accordingly.
EagleBank Bowl, Washington DC, 11 am
Navy vs Wakfe Forest. Lines, Wake -3, O/U 43.5
An intriguing matchup of styles meets us to kick off bowl season. Its Navy's triple option versus the constant misdirection and deception of Wake Forest. I enjoy watching both teams style of play. And, I love betting on both because both are well coached, hard to play against and get zero repsect from the general public. Translation: You get generous lines in their favor all the time. I am saddened a bit that I have to go against one of these teams.
What you missed while the John Thompson Caravan rocked the Big House
These teams played each nearly three months ago. Navy took down Wake, 24-17. You probably missed the game because you were glued to Michigan's thrilling comeback over Wisconsin. So, let me offer a quick summery. Wake turned the ball over six times, including QB Riley Skinner chucking four interceptions. Navy leapt out to a 17-0 lead and outgained the Deacons 296-43 on the ground.
The game helped define Navy in the post Paul Johnson era and helped spark a nice fall run that saw Navy go 6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS in their final eight games. For Wake, meanwhile, it exposed the Deacs as a limited team on offense with a mediocre QB. Worse, it showed you could do damage, particularily on the ground, against the well regarded Wake defense. Heading into the contest, Wake had been flying high after stoning Florida State and elevated to #16 in the polls. Including the Navy game, Wake slumped to a 4-5 SU, 3-6 ATS record in their final nine contests.
Conventional wisdom says expect Wake to make amends for that defeat in this game. Skinner, has average as he is, is not a turnover machine and wont throw four picks again. Wake Forest is tied for third nationally in Turnover Margin, so dont expect a repeat of the debacle back in September.
While I agree that Wake wont turn it over six times again, I dont think the Deacons will get their measure of revenge in this bowl season lid lifter. For one, that turnover margin strength is negated by the fact that the team tied for third in this stat with Wake is Navy. Wake will improve that -4 TO stat from the first game, but it wont turn it completely around either.
I do think Navy's ability to run the football will stay constant. They outrushed the Deacs by over 250 yards. Navy's QB Kapio-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada is as healthy now as he has been all season from a nagging hamstring injury. With him, fullback Eric Kettani and tailback Shaun White, I dont see Wake having any better success stopping this attack the second time around. Indeed, Navy played most of the first game without their top QB, so the Navy attack, while familiar to the Wake defenders, may have an added edge to it that Wake wont be ready for. This will be a triple option attack humming at its best. Expect a lot of third, and even fourth, and short conversions all day for Navy as they set sail on at least three long, time consuming drives for scores.
Wake has scored 17 or less points in seven of its last 10 games and only more than 23 once in that span. This team is lousy on offense. Its in the bottom quarter of a lot of offensive categories including total offense, rushing offense and points scored. It cant lean on any one thing. While Navy can beat you with three different guys running the football, Wake cant counter with anything other than their defense setting it up on short fields and good special teams play. That combo can win you a lot of games, but against Navy, who does not turn the ball while controling time of possession, it does not.
The US Navy: Winning as an Underdog since the War of 1812
We have a time tested theory that goes back to evil days of impressment at the sea. The Royal Navy was supposed to take back the colonies in 1812, but the plucky American midshipmen had other thoughts. Be it war or football, I like the Academy in the role of underdog.
Lets stick to football for now. One of my primary rules as the season goes on is always take a strong look at Navy when its getting points. Navy is 21-9 ATS as a dog in its last 30 chances away from home. Conversely, Wake is a mediocre 11-16 ATS as a favorite.
Historically, underdogs who outrush their opponents cover the spread at alarming rates. Of course, its hard to identify which team will outrush which team prior to the game. Thats not the case with Navy, which has now lead the nation in rushing for four consecutive seasons. Navy has outrushed the opposition in 34 of its last 38 games.
Yeah, but is that really important?
Yes, especially this time of year. If want more hard numbers, try this on for size. Bowl underdogs who outrush their opponent are 122-51-5 ATS since 1980. Its a good bet that we can pencil Navy in for more yards on the ground today.
Besides, its pretty obvious the Demon Deacons are terrorists
Finally one last piece of intriguing motivation. Revenge aside, is Wake really all that stoked to be here? They had a January bowl game on their minds four weeks ago. Navy, meanwhile, will be ready to go. They could care less about the situation, venue, time of day (note, that 11 am start. Who responds better here, I wonder, the military men or the typical college boys? Gee, I''m not sure), foe or weather. Regardless, they will punch you in the mouth and run that triple option down your throat.
But, consider this bonus piece of motivation. Part of each team's pre bowl itinerary includes a visit to the US Naval Academy where they'll spend time with injured and wounded Naval troops. I am sure the moment will prove poignamt for the boys at Wake. However, something like that ought to inspire the Middies sky high. They will take the field for their fallen comrades. The Navy's senior leadership will be embarking themselves in a few months for active duty in the Persian Gulf. Spurred by the urging of their wounded buddies, they will relish the chance to take the field one more time. Wake might as well be wearing terrorist jerseys this morning.
The Pick: Navy +3....2 units...what has changed since that first match-up? Not much, although a strong case can be made that Navy has improved a bunch since then as they got used to the sideline leadership and play calling of new coach Ken Niumataloo. Wake seems to have regressed this season. They cant score points and Navy's triple option will be too much for them to overcome. Navy has covered four straight bowls. Today will make five.
New Mexico Bowl, Alburquerque, NM, 2:30 pm
Colorado St vs Fresno St. Lines, Fresno -3, O/U 60
The New Mexico Bowl, Settling Bar Stool Arguments since 2006
This is what bowl season is all about. Two middle of the pack mid major teams fighting it out for conference pride. Is the fifth place team in the WAC better than the fifth place team in the Mountain West? Is anybody even asking this question? Who cares, we'll find out anyway.
A sure sign that bowl season may be saturated is the fact bowl suits found slots for these two teams which are a combined 2-10 against fellow bowl teams this season.
Despite that, I would not be shocked if an entertaining shootout emerges in this one. Both defenses stink and rank 85th or worse in many key statistical categories. Offensively, however, there is a lot to like. Both QBs, Brandstatter for FSU and Ferris for CSU, can carry their team and dont face a lot of pressure. Fresno has a great offensive line, by mid major standards, and always has a tailback or two on its roster who can rip off yards. For the Rams, runningback Gartrell Johnson is a stud with four 100-yard games down the stretch as the Rams surged to an improbable bowl bid. He will be the most fun player to watch in this one.
I too like to live dangerously
I cant shake the feeling that Fresno will win this one going away in the fourth quarter.
But, do you know what betting on Fresno means? It means backing a team thats ranked 100th in rushing defense and hasnt stopped a quality rushing attack in years. It means backing a team thats bagged only one measly point spread cover since Labor Day and surrendered 61 points in its last contest. Oh, and the Bulldogs won the Chili Cook Off between these teams that started the week of bowl festivites for the clubs. The winner of that has never gone on to win the game.
So, yeah, sign me up for a little Fresno.......eh, what could go wrong!?!
I feel like Austin Powers when he sat at the blackjack table for the first time with #2 and boldly took a hit on 18. He did win that hand. And, I'm not sure if it will because of luck or good handicapping if Fresno pull this one out. I do think we can discount the cook off mumbo jumbo. This is just the third year for the New Mexico Bowl. Gambling commandment 'Never go against a streak' gets negated by gambling commandment 'be wary of small sample sizes.'
Fresno flat out has a more talented squad. They are faster and play more physical. One major advantage is in the trenches, especially the excellent Fresno offensive line going up against the CSU defensive front. The Rams are the worst pass rush in football, ranking last in sacks. They are undersized and often play like it. They wont be any match for Fresno offensive line. The running lanes will wide open and Brandstater will have all day to pass as he makes a strong case to NFL scouts today. This advantage for Fresno wil pave the way for a dominating second half as the Bulldogs pull away.
In addition to Fresno, I like the Over, even if its a high total. If Fresno comes out motivated from the start, they ought to put up more than 40 points. Meanwhile, the loser in Fresno's last 10 games has average 27.4 ppg. I expect both teams to be in the 30s. Bottomline, both defenses are garbage and we'll have close to 800 yards of total offense. That should translate into a lot of points. Fresno's recent bowl games have been shootouts, averaging 64 points per game the last three postseason games.
The Pick: Fresno Moneyline -135, and Over 60...1 unit apiece...Quick explanation of the moneyline for the uninitiated. Fresno just has to win the game, making the point spread irrelevant. It costs a litte more to bet. In a regular bet against the spread, a player would need to wager $110 to win $100. In this case, taking Fresno just to win will cost $135 (thus the -135 in the line above) to win $100. I feel the extra bucks in this case is worthy insurance to still give you the win when Fresno kicks a field goal at the gun. If they win by double digits, it does not matter. You get your bet money back. I have been bullied into the money line by the fact that Fresno has covered only once since its opener. I'm not ashamed to admit it.
St Petersberg Bowl, 4:30 pm
Memphis vs South Florida. Lines, USF -12, O/U 56
There are 34 bowl games. There's no rule that says you have to make a play on everyone. This will be one I wont play. I just see anything to like in either case.
I wont lay double digit chalk with USF. I just dont trust Matt Grothe. The recipe for a three interception game includes this guy's DNA. Most pundits gush over his game, but I am not impressed. In his last five games, he has tossed 11 interceptions to just three touchdowns and USF has averaged a paltry 14 points per game. Grothe forces the ball way too much and does not play smart football. Plus, he sports the dorkiest mohawk I've ever seen. While they're playing a de facto home game 30 miles aay from their campus, I do not trust this team really giving a damn about playing Memphis.
However, that is not pushing me into the direction of the Tigers. At no point did this team catch my eye this season. I suspect they're nothing more than a mediocre team. I have no feel if they can hang in this game or not. And, while I distrust USF on offense, I like their defense from playmaking end Selvie to their ball hawking secondary. They ought to get their share of takeaways.
So, we have the sixth place team from the eight-team Big East playing a mediocre squad from the Conference USA. On one hand, the sixth place team should probably never lay this much chalk. Then again, should the middle class of CUSA be able to compete evenly with bowl teams from the BCS leagues? I dont know the answers to any of those questions. Both these teams lost to Louisville and made Ron English's defenses look good.
Yeah, thanks, but no thanks on this one.
The Pick: No pick........This game reminds me of being dealt a 12 in Black Jack. It never matters if I play the percantages or take a risk. Hit or stick, I always lose.
Las Vegas Bowl, 8 pm
BYU vs Arizona. Lines, Arizona -3.5, O/U 59.5
The third place team from the Mountain West Conference squares off against the third place team from the Pac-10. It's an interesting clash that gives the mid major the chance to scalp a big league pelt. Whats compelling is BYU is arguably the more talented and better schooled football team. Since they're getting points, that makes them a more than attractive play.
The Mountain West went 6-1 versus the Pac-10 this season. Why should that change in this game? BYU is an upper echelon MWC team while Arizona remains a middle of the pack Pac 10 team. I think BYU should be favored to win the game, not the other way around.
Both teams feature great offenses and the QB battle between the Cougars Max Hall and the Wildcats Willie Tiutama will be one of the best of the bowl season. Both will do damage and make statements during the game. They lead a pair of offenses that both rank in the top 20 in points scored. Each quarterback has weapons all over the field. This will be a fun game.
My case for BYU starts with this interesting college bowl angle: Underdogs who won their bowl game last season are 23-12 ATS, including 15-3 ATS if they're playing a team that won eight or less games. That fits the Cougars who won this bowl last season against UCLA and it also fits the 7-5 Wildcats. Also, always look to fade those teams making a bowl appearance after a postseason draught of three or more years. The Cats have not been to a bowl since the late 1990s. These historical trends all point to BYU.
Lets also play arm chair psychiatrist while breaking down how each of these teams are handling their bowl week. Surrounded by all sorts of temptation to lose focus and forget you're even a member of a football team, let alone one that will be playing a high stakes bowl game in front of a sellout crowd and national TV audience, which team can handle the pomp and circumstance better?
My vote goes to BYU. This is their fourth trip to this bowl. The glitz of the Strip wont faze them. Its nothing more than a business trip. Adhering to Morman principles and the school's strict code, I believe all the BYU players were in bed by 10 oclock last night. If not, they were up spending time with the wife and kids.
As for Arizona, I dont care what they say. They are a distracted bunch. Its their first bowl in years and these players have obviously never played in one. Its not a typical game. People all over the place are patting your back for your great season. Instead of breaking down assignments, you are feted all week with banquets and team social events to attend. You hob knob with the other team. That in and of itself is a bizarre situation to adjust to and maintain top notch competitive focus. Toss in the fact that all this is going on with the Las Vegas Strip as background and you know Mike Stoops--he himself in his first bowl game as a head coach--has a huge challenge keeping his kids focused.
I know what I would do as a college student in Vegas, especially if I had the built in confidence and entitlement of being a member of a winning football team. And, it would have little to do with getting ready for the game.
The Pick: BYU +3, 2 Units; Over 60, 1 Unit......BYU will come out ready to play. They will land a couple opening salvos and forge out to a comfortable early lead. The Cats won go away. They will make their run. But, they'll be playing catchup the whole way, a la their game with Oregon last month, and when the final gun sounds BYU will be ahead 35-31.
Don't Panic! (Reasons Included)
Brian, in the comments, says it is not irrational to panic, given that we desperately need better quarterbacking and each option is like "a lottery ticket," so we need more of them. Now, I generally agree with Brian on most Panic or Don't Panic decisions, but here I'm going to come down on the Don't Panic side.
1. We only want people who want to be here. Remember last signing day with McGuffie saying he was going with his head instead of his heart? How did that work out?
2. A corollary to #1 would be: Better Now Than Later. There is a month and a half (minus dead periods) to get a replacement.
3. A replacement is quite possible. I don't know if it is realistic to expect one of the 4 stars left out there to switch, but a high-3 star "lottery ticket" would be fine.
4. He (probably) wasn't going to start anyway. It's true that Forcier could turn out to be mediocre, or break his leg. And Threet might not make the normal HUGE first year to second year of starting jump. Or break his leg. But chances are pretty high those weren't both going to happen. Yes, Troy Smith turned out to be better than Justin Zwick. But Zwick wasn't bad, and they weren't going to go 3-9. At this point, I think most of us are hoping for someone decent enough to sweep through 3 MAC teams, ND at home, and the weakest half of the Big 10 next year... = 8-4.
5. Although recruits are lottery tickets, in fact there is very little history at Michigan of big name QB recruits (I would include Threet and Forcier in this, plus, again, the excellent chance of another signee) crapping out. Maybe Beaver would have been marginally better than Threet and Forcier. But both crapping out? I can't think of this happening. I'll try to list big-name Michigan QB recruits in the last 12 years or so and see what we can find. Please correct my memory:
Tom Brady (Phil Steele composite rating, something like #25 QB): Umm, not crappy
Jason Kapsner (PS 7?): Never saw the field, seemed like a numbers game
Drew Henson (PS 1 or 2): Starter
John Navarre (PS 30-ish?): Pushes the edge of "big name recruit"; was 3.33 year starter anyway
Andy Mignery (PS 20s or 30s?): Crapped out, switched to TE
Matt Gutierrez (PS 10 or so): Was due to start, injured, beat out by Henne, would have been good
Chad Henne (PS 1): 4 year Starter
Ryan Mallett (PS 1): Started as true frosh, turnover prone and bad inter-personal skills, but will probably be good
Steven Threet (PS 26): Hot and cold as rFr. starter, but that is quite normal; should be a decent starter at least, although not ideal for this system
Coner (PS 40) and Jason Forcier (PS 42) are beyond my definition of big-time recruit. Clayton Richard was highly ranked, but chose baseball.
So, only Mignery (and he was very close to Cone in terms of hype, below Tate Forcier and Threet) came to campus and seemed like a waste of scholarship. Kapsner never did anything, but the reports were that he was competitive for a starting spot. Maybe there's one or two guys I'm forgetting who disappeared, but it seems at least 2/3 of guys who are 4-star quality turn out to be viable college starting quarterbacks.
OMG, we lost our 3rd string QB!
Shavodrick Beaver, who had been committed to Michigan since the spring, has changed his commitment to Tulsa. There had been rumors of him wavering, but he recruited heavily for Michigan and spoke publicly about how he couldn't wait to come to Michigan, was ready to compete for the job, etc. But now the #8 dual-threat quarterback is staying close to his home in Texas.
This event affects the perception of Michigan's program, but probably not the program itself. Most analysts and fans expected fellow QB commit Tate Forcier to compete with holdover Steven Threet for the starting quarterback job in 2009. A common scenario had Threet starting the season and slowly giving way to the more talented, more athletic Tate Forcier. If this scenario had played out, Beaver probably would have redshirted.
Looking forward, Threet is scheduled to run out of eligibility after the 2011 season. Forcier, if he doesn't redshirt at any point, would finish his four years in 2012. If the aforementioned scenario took place, Beaver would have redshirted, hung around for four years, and perhaps started as a fifth year senior in 2013.
Let me say that again.
Very realistically, Beaver's decommitment affects the 2013 season.
Now, depth is obviously a concern. Every team wants great players waiting in the wings to take over from great players. But is that realistic? Probably not. Assuming Forcier sticks with his commitment, we'll have two 4-star QB's over two classes of eligibility - and that doesn't include possible replacements for Beaver in the 2009 class, such as Tajh Boyd, Eugene Smith, or Denard Robinson (all 4-star players themselves).
Michigan will be okay. The Wolverines will plow through and be successful. The offense started to hit its stride at the end of the 2008 season, especially running the ball. If we can run the ball effectively without an effective QB, imagine what type of offense we will have when Threet improves his accuracy or Forcier steps in with his pinpoint accuracy and good athleticism.
We need not worry about the loss of our third string quarterback.
Go blue!
Recruiting Comparison
In response to occasional "gasps" I read in various places about UMs recruiting falling off under RichRod, I've looked over UM's recruiting classes for the last 7 years (that's as far back as Rivals and Scout go) and compared those classes with this 2009 class (as it is so far). The results show that this class is going to be a "typical" UM class in terms of quality. In fact, this year's class will likely end up above average when the final pieces fall into place (Do you hear me Big Will??).
I've used average star ratings from Rivals and Scout. I use the average star rating rather than the rankings of the classes for some obvious reasons. First, the ranking of the class depends somewhat on its size and I am interested in quality, not quantity. Second, the rankings of classes year to year does not allow good comparisons across years for the same school. For example, UMs class in 2005 was ranked second in the nation but had a lower average star rating than the 2007 class which ended up ranked 10th in the nation:
----------Average Stars--------
This year's class, as it currently stands, is average for Rivals and a little below average for Scout. There are 5 spots left to fill in the class (+ or - one depending on who you listen to). If Will Campbell is one of those spots, the number will shift into above average territory on both Rivals and Scout. If another 4-star or two are added to the class in addition, the class will move firmly into above average territory. In fact, if Big Will and a few additional 4-stars are added, the class will be the second best since 2002 on Rivals (with 2003 being the best) and firmly above average on Scout.
The perception that recruiting has fallen off comes from something OTHER than the actual quality of our recruits. My opinion (and only an opinion) if that it comes from a shift in the emphasis of the recruiting. Recruiting attention has shifted to the slot-dots and fans' attention and discussion is disproportionately about those players. I think this is because they are the new type of player UM is after and people tend to focus on changes. Anyway, there are quiet a few of them and many are 3-star guys. I think this means the perception becomes that "most" of out recruits are 3-star guys when, in fact, there hasn't been much of a change from the traditional quality of UM recruiting classes.
A Spoon Full of Sugar
It was 1969, a year Iggy Pop would immortalize in song. A year in which many a body bag got filled in 'Nam. Some guy called "Bo" came up from Ohio to replace some guy named "Bump". The whole freaking world was changing at a rate hard to measure without an electron stopwatch. Hippies were promoting free love and revolution and drugs. The White Panthers and the Rainbow People's Party had houses on Hill Street. Black people were demanding to be treated like actual human beings; not asking, demanding. Walter Cronkite was still cool, but so was Joe Namath.
Me and Allan, my best bud, walked from Melrose Street to the stadium. No tickets. Didn't have a nickel between us, but we were going to the Game. Our friends would be there, like always, in the south end zone about sixty or seventy rows up.
With our best pathetic faces, we stood at the corner of Stadium and Main begging for tickets--for all of about twenty seconds. Some drunk rich guy staggers up to us. "Here ya go, boys!", he says. "Have a good time!" Allan looks over the tickets. 45 yard line, fifty rows up, west side. WTF! Ten minutes later we'd sold them for ten bucks apiece, had climbed under the fence by Crisler Arena and after a quick stop at the hot dog stand, were on our way to our rightful spots amongst the Tappan Junior High congregation. Life was good.
Some idiot, I don't remember who, was handing out free apples. Jim Lampley, then a budding cub reporter, was standing on a riser in the southwest corner of the playing field doing some advance work for the TV. Well, he was making an attempt. Suddenly a hail of apples descended upon him like cluster bombs out of a Tomahawk Missile. I must admit that I did in fact aim for his head, but was pleased with the chest shot that connected—along with several other young apple snipers. Jim Lampley relocated. We laughed and taunted.
Back then they had no end zone nets. They had the hated Yellow Jackets—the guys responsible for retrieving footballs out of the crowd after extra points and field goals. We hated them. They hated us. We both knew the battles this day would be fierce. Our resolve was strong that day at the start, but after the Wolverines started chewing up some Buckeye ass—well, we would have stomped little old ladies into the ground to secure that pigskin manna falling to us from the heavens. And yes, we liberated more than one trophy that day.
Few people around today are witness to the thundering roar heard for miles that used to crack the atmosphere Saturday afternoons—that is, the stomping of feet on the steel bowl girding the concrete pit of Michigan Stadium. It sounded like a nuclear bomb attempting to extinguish an F5 Tornado hovering over a burning fireworks factory. Opposing teams used to experience anal pucker level 10 the first time they were beseeched by this auditory and vibratory assault. Wolverines used to jack up like crack heads air lifted into Peru. (Key Play? We would have kilt you and ate your young!) I'm telling you, the Wolverine Army could have taken Moscow that day and still had enough left to bum rush Peking.
As the human wave crashed the field after the boom of the final gun, and assaulted the goal posts at the north end, it was evident all intelligence had evaporated in a radioactive cloud of fanatic lust that remains lurking even today. We brought down the goal posts. Toppling over the shared gravitational pull of the goal post brought with it every fan whose muscle, sinew and brainwaves had propelled them into history. A mere two feet from my face, as I was crashed to the turf by the tidal wave of screaming fans, the corner of the goal post dug a good 9 inches deep. It was truly a miracle no one was kilt.
As Allan and I watched the frat boys carry those goal posts out of the stadium that day the sun was slipping behind some clouds and a grayness befell the Earth as if to say, you will never again witness such a contest. Be grateful. Though I had been to many Michigan games before then, that day, I felt truly baptized. I knew then, the Wolverines—win, lose or draw—would be my team forever.
Welcome to Detroit, sorry I missed you
Well it looks like i missed an interesting night last night. Overheard some people in the WLA say that I was the topic of a nice little post. Apparently I have made such an impression on people that there is a need around here to call me out personally for answering questions and giving my insights. I do not want to start another thread of attack, but I do want to answer some questions.
1. I liked Shafer at Michigan because i run a lot of Shafers schemes. I liked the idea of being able to follow the WOlverines over the next several years, knowing the terminology being used, the direction and the focus of the Defense, and such. I was supprised when he got the job, and was excited to tell people about what to expect over the years. Im sad to see him go, becasue i believed that if given time, he would have had michigans defense rolling, and i was excited about seeing someone at michigan who was going to emphasis technique and fundamentals.
2. I was a Michigan fan long before Shafer came around, and I was very excited to be apart of a blog community interested in knowing more about football, and offer another perspective. If by offering my perspective I offended people i appologize, as obviously it was not my intent. Still think that over the past couple of years I have been on the receiving in of many more attacks, then i have given out. But i appologize for any attack i have made, as one is too many.
3. Shafer not being at Michigan does ABSOLUTELY nothing to shake my confidence in my ability to break down a football play, to talk football, or to coach football. It has never been about proving myself on here. In fact its all been about talking Michigan football.
4. I like this Blog, i like Brian, and I like the WLA.. So im not going anywhere.... sorry to dissapoint some of you...
5. I like to talk about Skull cracking, Butt-kicking, weight-lifting, football stuff, becasue that is a big part of my life. In all reality i am exactly like i am in here, a nice guy with a pretty big heart, but kinda crazy. Im new to the world of internet tough guys, and bullying, so i am not very good at it, and most of the people that have a problem with me are much better at writing then I am, so be it. If anyone REALLY has a problem with me, im not too hard to find...

The Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art Announces Japanese-Inspired Summer Exhibitions
MIDLAND, Mich., July 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ The Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art at Midland Center for the Arts presents five new exhibitions: "Forging the New Japan: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection of Sheldon and Heather Siegel," "Poetry in Print: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection of the Saginaw Art Museum," "Modern Twist: Contemporary Japanese Bamboo Art," "Forming: The Synergy Between Basketry and Sculpture," and "Layered: Carolyn Swift Works on Paper." All are on display in the Museum's 4th floor galleries. For exhibition dates and hours, visit www.mcfta.org.
Forging the New Japan: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection of Sheldon and Heather Siegel
This is a stunning exhibition of Japanese woodblock prints from the collection of Sheldon and Heather Siegel of West Bloomfield, MI. The prints from the Meiji Period (1868 1912) represent the historical topics of the turbulent times in Japan at the turn of the 20th century.
Poetry in Print: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection of the Saginaw Art Museum
In the spirit of collaboration, the AB Dow Museum features a special selection of colorful woodblock prints depicting a range of themes including birds, animals, domestic scenes and landscapes that display how European impressionism influenced Japanese artists (c.1830 1850).
Modern Twist: Contemporary Japanese Bamboo Art
Modern Twist explores the evocative sculptural power of contemporary bamboo art. Bamboo is a cornerstone of the Japanese culture. Seventeen artists and 38 works in the exhibition demonstrate that in the hands of master bamboo artists, a simple grass is transformed into an art. Sponsored locally by MEGlobal Americas, Inc.
Forming: The Synergy Between Basketry and Sculpture
A selection of artists from across America inquisitively open our eyes to new alternatives in basketry and fiber-based sculptural form. The craftsmanship is superb, the creative and technical finesse is complex while the vision is beyond today yet with inspiration from long-revered fiber traditions.
Layered: Carolyn Swift Works on Paper
Carolyn Swift was recipient of the Solo Exhibition Award at the 52nd Annual Greater Michigan Art Exhibition in 2013. Her work in printmaking and collage resonate in large scale images of power and intrigue.

Historical Traveler Reviews Vaughan Lodge Lahinch
Hidden Luxury
If your use to staying in 5 star rated hotels with their associated amenities , but thought you might have to compromise on a golf trip to small town in Ireland, look no further than the Vaughan Lodge. The place has class. The rooms are stylishly decorated and as fresh as any top International chain. The exterior was nice and fit well into the local architecture. They have a guest sitting area with a Flat screen TV and a fully stocked bar, not only can you enjoy a Guiness, but you can also select a fine single malt Irish whiskey.
The restauant is well appointed with great food. I had Halibut for dinner one night and it was as fresh and tasteful as you can expect (being from Maine, I know fresh fish).
I saved the best part for last, Michael and Maria. Michael is a terrific conversationalist and Maria just makes you feel like she's waiting to see what your next need is. We had a couple custom food requests and she filled them with a smile and better than our expectations. I know where I'll be staying on future trips to ireland!
Irish hospitality
Me, my son & my two brothers spent two nights at Vaughan Lodge & totally enjoyed the wonderful Irish hospitality of Maria & Michael, the excellent food & the high-quality facility. After 18 holes on the Lahinch Old Course you are able to "hang out" in a comfortable , almost posh, lounge watching a large-screen plasma TV while sipping on a cold Guinness. I highly recommend staying at Vaughan Lodge. You'll love it.
Classy Spot in Lahinch
Stayed in Vaughan lodge for two nights and what a treat....the service is so personal and friendly. The food is outstanding, it is not often one has a meal that is good value for money this is value with panache....The accomadation is very smart and breakfast was lovely....looking forward to returning..
Fantastic hotel next to a Great golf course
The Vaughan Lodge was a wonderful hotel in Lahinch, Ireland. We stayed at the lodge for 3 days/nights. My husband and I travel frequently. There are a few things which are important to us...We had a wonderful bed to sleep in, exceptional water pressure in the shower (very important after walking/playing 18 holes of golf or touring in a car all day...), in addition the restaurant has a top notch menu. The hotel shares contemporary style and Irish charm. The combination is refreshing.
Maria and Michael Vaughan are wonderfully helpful, professional, efficient and great ambassadors for Ireland. They have many years experience in the Hotel industry throughout the world. Their expertise is seen in their hotel and staff choices. They all helped us feel very comfortable and attended to any questions we had with interest and detail. It may be ranked as a 4 star, yet it's 5 star from our experience.
The location is great for many courses such as Lahinch, Lahinch Castle course, Doonbeg Spanish Point, Kilkee...
Great for golfers
My golfing partner and I recently stayed 3 nights at the Vaughn Lodge in Lahinch. I would highly recommend it for all staying in the area. Not only is the building new and well appointed, combining the charm and feel of a country house with the conveniences one comes to expect, but it overlooks the clubhouse of the famous Lahinch links course.
The owners, Michael and Maria Vaughn were gracious and solicitous without being overly present. Michael is the fourth generation of his family to work in the hotel business and has expericence with large up-scale hotels. It shows.
The Lodge has a great restaurant if you are too tired to venture out as we were our first night and a lovely lounge with a fireplace and comfortable sofas and chairs where you can relax and re-live (or try to forget) your golf of the day.
Breakfast was superb and Maria even served us herself when we had to leave before the cooked breakfast was served.
Should I ever return with my wife to Lahinch (a great destination for the non-golfer as well) I will first book a room with the Vaughns. That is, if I can get in!
Vaughan Lodge was recommended to us after we chose not to stay in our original accommodation and what a great place, from the first phone call to checking out - superb. Great rooms, very well appointed with great style and thought. We loved every minute of our stay enjoying the excellent cuisine, superb wine, stimulating and entertaining company provided by Michael and Maria.
Enjoy this hotel, it is in a diffrent class because it's owners are and they make it happen.
A Gem!
We stayed at Vaughan Lodge for 1 week at the end of August. We found it to be classy and extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed the food. The decor is a tasteful mix of modern and old fashioned styles and our room, which gave us a view of the first tee at Lahinch Golfcourse, really appealed to us. The owners, Michael and Maria, are a charming young couple who made our stay most enjoyable. We look forward to going back already...
Wonderful lodge in the golfing town of Lahinch, Co. Clare
My husband and I and 2 other couples recently returned from our annual golfing trip to Lahinch. We've been going to Lahinch for the last 5 years, as my husband is an overseas member of the Lahinch Golf Club. The Vaughan Lodge was recommended by a friend who had just returned from Lahinch. Well, we certainly were pleased with the recommendation! The Vaughan Lodge recently opened (June 2005) and it is a fabulous place. The bedrooms/baths are everything the international traveler would wish for. We so much enjoyed the oversized rooms with the king size beds as well as the wonderful showers in the bathrooms.
The proprietors, Maria and Michael Vaughan were wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome from the very moment we walked through the door after our overnite flight from the States. Every morning we were treated to a full Irish breakfast before we hit the links. In the evening we relaxed in the parlor/lounge prior to having a gourmet meal served to us in the lovely dining room. The entire wait staff looked after us during our 5 day stay.
The Lodge is within walking distance to the Lahinch Golf Club as well as into the town of Lahinch. We also played at Doonbeg which was only a 1/2 hour away.
We had a wonderful time and we look forward to future stays at the Vaughan Lodge.
We arrived, and had trouble even finding the hotel. The signs were painted on rocks, with cars blocking them. It didn't help matters that the hotel's brochure places the lodge in an open fileld, rather than its actual site with B&B's on either side.
Be careful about the room rates, since the woman at the front desk originally quoted us a price 50% higher than we had been told over the phone that morning. To be fair, one of the owners resolved that issue for us.
The rooms were modern, ad nicely appointed. We were told that the high-speed Internet access should be up an running soon. You might want to ask about that before arrival.
Ssh don't tell everyone!
Stayed at Vaughan Lodge this weekend. Consider myself reasonable well travelled and a bit of a foodie!
The rooms were beautifully modern and spacious. But the highlight of the stay was dinner in the Restaurant. Everything we had from the four course menu using fresh Irish ingredients was cooked to perfection. One of the best meals I have ever had. But please don't tell everyone or they will put their prices up and it will be impossible to get a reservation!

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Health Center
The exact cause of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) isn't known. But health experts believe that faulty communication between the brain and the intestinal tract is one cause of symptoms. In some people, this miscommunication causes abnormal muscle contractions or spasms, which often cause cramping pain. The spasms may speed the passage of stool, causing diarrhea. Or they may slow it down, causing constipation or bloating.
Many people who have IBS seem to have unusually sensitive intestines. It isn't known why their intestines are more likely to react strongly to the elements that contribute to IBS. People who have IBS may start having symptoms because of one or more factors, including:

My system which I believe is at or near five years of age with the exception of the video card (fast card in slow slot so not a huge improvement) is avg about 25 with all settings maxed. It's playable for me but I have lowered the settings a few time when things got too busy. In the next few months though I'll be upgrading the whole system with a new setup that should last me another five years. ^_^
So nope I haven't see 60 fps even if I drop all the settings to their slowest I just about kissed 40 but that's it.

The rest of the e-peen flexing I could not careless about, all that matters is what I game enjoy playing and right now that is Guild Wars 2. How it compares to World of Warcraft in terms of the number of players does not factor in my enjoyment. Though what does is the quality of players and in my opinion Xfire e-peen posts is something that lines up with fanboys, haters, trolls, etcetera in other words a whole lot of nothing.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria: All Races Available in v5.0.4
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
Originally posted by FrodoFragins
They don't it was bad wording by Blizzard, what they meant to say was that you will no longer require an expansion to play new races. Pandarens will not be playable until MoP is released however you will "not" have to buy MoP to play a Pandaren when the game releases. Blizzard cleared this up not long after the forums caught fire with questions, however news many news sites have not updated their announcements.
Here is a link to the clarification:
Here the CM quote for those who don't like to click links:
"I've seen some confusion about when pandaren character creation will be accessible.
Just to be clear on the announcement, we're making it possible for people to create a character of any race, regardless of what expansions you've purchased. So if you only have the original game (which now has The Burning Crusade included), when patch 5.0.4 hits you'll be able to create goblin and worgen characters as well. And, once Mists of Pandaria is released, you'll be able to create pandaren characters, regardless of whether or not you own Mists of Pandaria.
No, you'll need to upgrade your World of Warcraft license to Mists of Pandaria in order to unlock the monk class. The same is true for leveling from 85-90 and gaining access to the continent of Pandaria."

They don't divert much if any from their setting they also have a solid community that is not overly huge. As both are hybrid MMO's you can check them out without having to fork over any cash and if you like it well you go from there and if you don't, well it's not like you lost anything other then sometime.
Another to look into is Age of Conan as it's come a along way and is shaping up nicely as an MMO.
Does Ranger FEEL Rangery?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
To me the Ranger in Guild Wars 2 is more like a Hunter in World of Warcraft then a Ranger do to the pet mechanic. It's because of this that I will also be rolling a Thief Short Bow/Daggers as that combination feels more like a ranger to me.
So to answer your question no the Ranger in GW2 is not like the Ranger in Dogma as they rely too much on their pet like WoW Hunters. However you can make a build that feels like a Ranger in Dogma with great range and deadly melee if you pick a Thief, you'll have to wait until you level high enough to swap weapons but that happens quickly.
What new weapons would you like to see?

Right now it's a lot like the other servers, though this is normal for most new MMO's as people are too excited to focus on things like role-playing events. Though London seems to becoming a hub for it as each time I visit there is more random RP compared to the other faction cities. Heck I see more Illuminati and Dragon in London then I do their own cities. :-P
I think this is do to the layout of London there are more spots for people to gather and it's layout flows better. So if you are looking for RP I would start there, but don't expect much at the moment.
