Like the Ivy League grad who wouldn't dream of putting a college sticker in the back window of his Saab, The Royal at The Raleigh is too cool for self-promotion. It just is, and for as long as I can recall, the place where locals and celebs feel equally comfortable lounging by the pool or doing shots inside the pinky-sized bar tucked off the lobby. Even after ultra-hip hotelier Andre Balazs quietly offloaded the 1940s Deco gem in 2009, the spot remains a favorite - mostly because of its irresistibly romantic or really more sexy, tropical vibe.
Despite the gorgeous quotient, the food at the stunning mostly outdoor restaurant now dubbed The Royal has never been top notch, even when one of my favorite French chefs, Eric Ripert, was in charge of the menu. Now that New Yorker John DeLucie has changed the focus from French to American comfort fare, the food still takes second place to the exquisite setting. It's not that it's bad, but, as the chef said about his New York eatery The Lion, "It's a lifestyle thing; it's not a culinary endeavor." The food here as imagined by DeLucie and executed by Jimmy Corona is neither haphazard nor artful, but something in between. It's casual and easy and mostly what you want to eat. Even if the staff and prices sometimes make that challenging.
Ambience: You cannot beat the vibe. White wooden tables are scattered beneath a canopy of shady sea grape trees where low-slung benches with gray cushions make for cozy if slightly awkward eating.

I think lately I arrive at the end of every week thinking TGIF, but this week is different. Wow, we've arrived at the last week of school. Try to take it all in this week, the pomp, the circumstance, the little moments.
For some, this is a game changer. Maybe you move from middle to high school, maybe you move from elementary to middle school or maybe the big chick leaves the nest. Maybe the baby bird will head to that big, ominous place called school next year.
Whatever the case may be, enjoy the summer. Enjoy every single solitary moment, or lack of moments, that you can. Time flies so fast and even though we're at the start of embarking on the summer, it will go by way too fast.
If my math serves me correct, there are only 82 days to enjoy. The again, I am a speech communications major, so we won't count on my math skills too much.
What I want to say is try to find some time to enjoy each of those kids in your home, in the neighborhood or in our community. Try to find some activity you can interact in together and enjoy it before it is over.

Stop wasting time with unrealistic hopes: Ellie
Boyfriend who is 'too busy' to talk about problems may be jeopardizing relationship.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Q: Whenever I say, "We need to talk," my boyfriend rolls his eyes, or gets "too busy," or makes a date with his pals.
I want to fix some of our problems, but he doesn't give me time to raise them. Then he's all lovey, and I give up for a while.
How will I know when it's hopeless, since we do have great sex that keeps us together?
Still Hoping
A: Decide if you're there for the sex, and if so, enjoy. But if you want a full partnership, stop wasting your time with unrealistic hopes that he'll listen.
You may have to stop the sex for awhile to get his attention.
He has to realize that the problems are serious for you and that, without change, you'll break up.
Q: My fiancée doesn't get it that stress at work and mounting debts keep me off sex. She's always hurt or angry if I don't initiate several times a week.
But it's hard to feel sexy or satisfy her when she's not interested in what's bothering me. This has been the situation for over a year. I'm beginning to think our marrying is a bad idea.
A: Marriage is a bad idea for any couple who don't "get" what's going on . . . and you're not getting that she'd be more understanding of your stress and worries if you kept up affection.
She'd feel loved. Then you could work on how to deal with debts, together.
Sex is usually a symptom rather than the actual couple problem. You two haven't learned how to handle stress as a team . . . this divide will resurface with future stresses.
Decide why you initially wanted to marry each other and, if you still do, learn to talk out the stress — after a good romp.
Q: My husband says I'm always angry and accuses me of picking fights. He might be right, because I can't get past that he cheated on me six months ago.
We went to counselling, he stopped sexting this co-worker, and he even changed departments at work. But I don't accept why he did this, since we're only married three years.
I feel I'm "done," but don't know if I'm right to end it because of our 18-month-old.
Angry Wife
A: It's not about being "right," but about being "sure" there's no other way to address your anger. When a child's involved, it's worth it to everyone to explore this.
Go to counselling on your own, if the other process was marital. Since your husband made changes to end his affair, something more is troubling you — perhaps rooted in the past, or lingering self-doubts.
Knowing that you CAN leave, but will still give it one more effort may ease the anger.
Q: We've been dating for six months and on paper he's all I could want — stable, a decent earner, responsible. But I'm so bored I could cry. We're mid-20s, but he acts like we're 60!
He's into insurance policies, saving for a house, everything practical. We rarely go out because "it's wasted money." Do I accept this because it's right for 10 years from now when we have kids?
Still Young
A: It's Over. That level of boredom is a big indicator of your having already left the relationship emotionally, since you have no enthusiasm/respect left for his basic qualities.
Better to know it's over now, when you're young and no children are affected.
Knowing It's Over should come after making an effort, weighing options and without delaying from fear.

cool design. But I do believe threadless favors those who have already been printed and been a part of the threadless community for some time , pretty much pushes the rest of us new folk out of the race

Thanks everyone. And More power to you if you feel there were better designs- I've been in your shoes. But for better or worse only one can win, and I'm thrilled that Threadless/Sony picked mine out of all the great work that was submitted.
And torimay - if it was rigged no one told me :(

James Nuanez on Nov 21, 2012 at 14:13:38
Congratulations! This is rad!
And to the negative nancys out there, stop hating. Don't tear someone else down just because of their success. If you're upset, send an email to Threadless, don't hijack someone's design thread.

Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Suspend works like a charm for me and was before
Hibernate doesn't - it hangs (2x30 secs or 3x30 secs), the same applies to X restart (You either log out of DE or Ctrl + Alt + Bkspc).
I was hoping that hibernate will be fixed coz that's real slow for me and it beeps 2 times in between, I don't really care for log out, as I do that once during week or more, but I assume if X restart is fixed so will be hibernate...
Please nVidia, give us more background, why this is happening in the first place? As I understand this is related to different ACPI implementation of different laptop manufacturers... Is it so?
P.S. I had a chance to get the same laptop with red competitor's GPU in it for couple of tests, and it worked like a charm with suspend / hibernate and binary drivers
Somehow they got that ACPI working then.
** Laptop T500: C2D 2.53Ghz, 4Gb RAM, Radeon Mobility HD3650, ArchLinux x86_64, Gnome, custom 220.127.116.11, Catalyst 10.10...

Integrated Approach to Metering, Monitoring, and Leveling Practices, Part 1: Two-Channel Metering
For the last 30 years or so, film mix engineers have enjoyed the liberty and privilege of a controlled monitoring environment with a fixed (calibrated) monitor gain. The result has been a legacy of feature films, many with exciting dynamic range, and with consistent and natural-sounding dialogue, music, and effects levels. In contrast, the broadcast and music recording disciplines have entered a runaway loudness race, leading to chaos at the end of the twentieth century. An integrated system of metering and monitoring is proposed that will encourage more consistent leveling practices among the three disciplines. This system handles the issue of differing dynamic-range requirements far more elegantly and ergonomically than in the past. On the threshold of the introduction of a new high-resolution consumer audio format, there exists a unique opportunity to implement a twenty-first-century approach to leveling. It is also discussed how metadata (volume normalization) can be integrated with this metering and monitoring system.

29 year old man | Pittsburgh, PA, USA | Seeking men 29-35 within 50 miles
And time, it swallows everything, from the mighty to the meager things, And it's as dark as it is comforting, To play along." -Amos Lee
I am laid-back and easy-going, I attribute that to spending a few childhood years living in Hawaii. I like little drama and low maintenance. I have always been the girl who would pick a earth tone dress and a pair of flip-flops over a trendy dress and a pair of heels. Don't get me wrong, I am a girly-girl to say the least. I always have been. I love makeup and shoes, but, I value simplicity and I find beauty in being comfortable in it. I want to be successful and at the top of my field (which I LOVE) but I always only want to work to live, and not the other way around. Money is cool (and pretty valuable) but I find relationships and experiences to be the ultimate part of life. Thats why whoever I am with I want to have an inate zeal to want to experience life with me. I have a lust for adventure and excitement and I want my partner to share that with me. ...I love music. Random, but important none-the-less. I find theres always a song or an artist to help shape/share my mood. I think one of the reasons I love music so much is just because I value art in many of its forms. I love to try different food and different wine. I also like beer and whiskey too (and no, not miller lite, thank you! I like porters or the imports). I'm responsible, but only as much as I have to be... I think there will always be some kid in me. I want a man who is confident in himself and willing to take on life, no matter what is thrown his way. I want someone who is good with daily routine and stability but who wouldnt even hesitate to take a weekend getaway last minute. I want a man with a little scruff, in such a way that he can defend me in a fight or throw me down just because he can. I want a man who is intelligent and can talk to me about important issues and yet laugh with me over movies like "Zoolander." I need someone simple, yet complex. Manly, yet loving. Strong, yet compassionate. And mostly, I need someone who is just willing to love me and support me throughout my life.
I have Dogs
I like Horses
I have a dog, Dexter (yes, named after the show) who is a little spotted black and white pomeranian and the joy of my life.
Middle of the Road
in the summertime I have recently been going to different concerts and festivals to check out my favorite artist/bands. I like to go to my cabin/the country to escape on some weekends for a bonfire or fishing.

PITTSBURGH - DECEMBER 20: Head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers talks on his headset during the game against the Green Bay Packers on December 20, 2009 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin suspended Rashard Mendenhall for one week after the running back failed to attend last Sunday's game at Heinz Field. Tomlin spoke about the suspension for the first time on Wednesday. "Last Sunday he was not at the game,'' Tomlin said after practice via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I deemed those actions a detriment to our efforts. I stated as such when I met with him and there were going to be repercussions of it. "We had a good visit, he accepted it. He looks forward to coming back and rejoining this team on Monday and being a positive contribution to our efforts the rest of the way. "Obviously there's frustration with his situation understandably but we all have a job to do, I require that all guys remain professional regardless of personal circumstance. He didn't meet the standard in that regard and accepted the consequences of it. So, hopefully this will be a lesson learned not only for him but for everyone and we'll be able to move on from it."

Proofs of this year are of the earlier matte variety, as are all the following years as well, and they show a distinctive "mustard" coloration, as Akers calls it. The surfaces have a dark, fine, sandblast finish. This piece is identifiable for pedigree purposes by a minute surface mark to the right of the final A of AMERICA at the rim. A series of shallow, but grade-limiting shiny spots are located on the Indian's hair curl and feathers. However, these are only visible as the coin is tilted under a light. The matte surfaces are still exquisite and attractive with everything boldly defined throughout.(#8893) (Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 26YC, PCGS# 8893)

Kathy Reichs
'Bones' Should Spin Off Author Kathy Reichs' Young-Adult Book Series
But this begs a question: Why hasn't there been a real 'Bones' spin-off during its six seasons on the air? There have been numerous guests and recurring Squinterns who have been interesting enough to merit their own show -- Michael Badalucco's role during the early days of the Squinterns comes to mind. Perhaps creator Hart Hanson and his team of writers never found the right angle to promote these folks to their own series.
Or it could be they were looking in the wrong place. If they had turned to Kathy Reichs' latest novel series, they could've found a concept that fit in well in the Fox lineup.
'Bones' - 'The Bones on a Blue Line' Recap
(S05E15) "Go ye forth and live life to the fullest." - Sweets
Starting this week, regular reviews of the hit series 'Bones' return to TV Squad. What better week to resume our reviews of the show than by reviewing the 99th episode of the series? What's even better? The fact that this week's episode is the first of eight all new and uninterrupted episodes of the series!
After weeks of reruns, the series finally returns with a bang! Sweets' life is turned upside down by a dramatic event while a Japanese reporter follows Brennan and Booth around in order to get gossip on the people who inspired Brennan's latest book. Oh, and there's steamy page 187 of the book, too!
What to expect in season four of Bones
A lot of Bones fans were unhappy last season when Zack was revealed to be Gormogon's apprentice. However, thanks to spoilers leaked over the summer, I can tell you we haven't seen the last of him. Want to know if the squints and co. are all back? If Angela and Hodgins will finally marry and be happy ever after? And if Brennan and Booth will truly kiss this season? Answers are coming up!
Beware: Spoilers ahead!
Tonight's Bones kicks off murder mystery promotion
FOX has set up a special MySpace page for the drama Bones, and it's just one of the special promotional ideas the network has for a plotline on the show.
The page lists profiles for 18 characters on the show (regular characters and guest stars), blogs from the characters, videos, and other clues to the mystery of who will be killed (and who the killer is) on the May 9 episode of the show. Fans will actually be able to visit the sites, watch the videos, and read the blogs after every episode to collect clues to see if they can guess the identity of the murder victim and the murderer.
I feel bad about not watching the show anymore. I watched for most of the first season and it was actually pretty good. With this new promotion and the show's growing popularity, I just might try to get back into the show again and see how it is.
Bones Vs. the Kathy Reichs books
Before Bones, I had never heard of Kathy Reichs or her books. Until last February, I had been afraid of reading one of her books featuring the lead character on Bones, Temperance Brennan. This fear was caused by reading countless of books later turned into movies that didn't stay true to the books. This time, I was afraid that the character I love from the show wouldn't be the same in the books (most of them were published before Bones hit the screen).
My fear was right.
Bones: The Bodies in the Book
(S02E15) I just want to thank FOX and the producers of American Idol for interrupting their 80 hours of programming to slip in a new episode of Bones. I know that it's hard to do this when the ratings and advertising revenues are just skyrocketing, so I appreciate it. Perhaps, in the near future, you'll consider putting shows like House and Bones on starting in the summer so their season's end by Christmas. That way you'll have the 2nd half of the season to air nothing but 24 and Idol.
And yes, I am angry at FOX's idiotic programming schedule.
Enough of this! Let's plow ahead with a review of this week's episode.

I haven't ridden either the WR or 630, but have been interested in and researched both (the WR for the GF and 630 for me). Seems they are both pretty corked up in stock trim.
The bike in the Café Husky link you posted seems to have had some fueling issues compared to most other stock 630's I've seen, which were in the low 40's stock, and close to 50 piped and programed. By the end of the thread it made 48hp and torque in the high 30's
A quick google on the wr250 shows 22hp and 14ftp stock.
Uncorked they seem to make close to 30hp and almost 20 ft-lbs
Apples to oranges, IMO they are both too heavy!

I can't wrap my mind around the notion of regretting any bike purchased.
This just doesn't compute in my world. So, maybe your asking the wrong question.

Ask yourself what do I want to do with the bike?
Do you like to spend your time working on your bike?
Every bike has it advantages and disadvantages.
I've been riding since 1959, rode many, many different types, on and off the track.
The WR250R has many things that I like.
Remember it is a 250 and not a 650.
Enjoy your search.

The WRR is heavier than other bikes in the dirt for sure but that doesn't me it can't go where other bikes go. Also this notion of down on power always confused me, what is it not capable of doing with the amount of power it has? I know one thing it will go fast enough to kill you stone dead and I've never had trouble keeping up with any other bikes off road with it.
I sometimes believe that people around here love to work on bikes more than ride them, and that more people need to go to the gym

Where the WR shines is it's ability to do it all at an acceptable level (for most folks). I can ride mine in the tightest single track, but I have to go slower than my full dirt bikes. I can ride it on the highway, but it is a bit light and working hard for that use. And yes, I've done a lot of suspension mods to keep it wheels down in the harsh that I ride, but suspension is everything to me and my skill level. I think the power is fine...I enjoy the smaller bore bikes after decades of riding open class machines. More challenge = more fun and longer lasting rear tires.
I have owned a lot of bikes, and have come to understand that no one bike can be all things to all people, regardless of money spent, mods, or brand.
I still have my 08, and that's a long time for me to keep a bike.

Yep it can be a fun bike, with enough money thrown at it (true for all bikes ). Everyone's version of adventure varies as does the taste in bikes etc. I tend to stick to mostly faster paced off road with minimal pavement between dirt sections so comfort on the street is not a huge concern, although with the tall 5th gear miles of hwy riding is a non issue - especially if you balance the tires . As far as the sub frame goes I've never had a issue with mine in thousands of miles of hard loaded off road travel between 3 different 530's. , and the whole mega maint thing is really over blown in my opinion. Everyone always brings up the extended valve maint on the WRR as a plus...it's really a very minor issue. My KTM is shim under bucket and goes 100's of hrs without moving, and/if they need adjustment it's a quick and easy process. If your 100% without any mechanical abilities I guess that could be a plus. I've had to do some mods/upgrades to my 530 as well, just the price of riding a higher performance machine but the mods are pretty easy and once sorted they are very reliable.
My friend had a ton of mods on his WRR...he wanted me to ride it once to hear a funny sound he was hearing, after I got back from a quick spin I was really amazed that he goes as fast as he does when following us. The suspension was absolutely horrible, I called it the mush-o-matic suspension after that . The bike also felt top heavy to me and heavy on the steering. You could bring the suspension up to specs but your still stuck with the same heavy steering etc. He had always complained that we would run off and leave him in the rough stuff (large rocks etc) and that he and the bike was getting beat up. After riding it I understood why. We swapped bikes for 20 min or so a few days after that and that was the end of his WRR
I'm not trying to say the KTM's are the only way to go either...just want to point out that there are other choices that may work out better for the OP depending on what type of riding he has in mind. The 690 is more like the WRR in my opinion than the 530, 500's, it's heavier and shows its bulk on the trail. Can you do everything that a KTM etc will do with a WRR....Yep, just have to be willing to live with the trade offs to do it.

I recently picked up a wr on closeout after riding a klx250s and a dr650 for the past few years. If money isn't an issue and I was trailering my bike to the riding area (or lived close to good trails,) then I would pick a ktm 350 exc-f or something else orange. They really are better dirt bikes.
That said, the wr really is a great bike if you don't mind having to rev the engine and can live with the weight. I think the guys who regret buying a wr250r are more performance oriented and coming off "real" racing dirt bikes or people who like the low down torque of other thumpers.
I can't believe how smooth the wr is on the road for a 250. I ride at more of a exploring the woods pace than race pace so having a full on race bike is unneccassary for me. Plus, I have to ride an hour or more to some of my favorite riding areas so the wr suits me perfectly.
OP, it comes down to your expectations.

I'm not sure why the orange brigade comes out of the wood work in every WRR thread but it seems to have happened again. I haven't owned a KTM and haven't ever ridden with anybody who had one but I do like them and respect them for what they are, but has anyone here actually looked in the service manual at the check and replacement intervals on the parts? Personally It doesn't matter if this guy or that guy has gone forever and not replaced a piston or rings, if you exceed KTM's recommendations for the service life of the parts then you are working with borrowed time. I mean sure you could skip your every 30 hr valve check on your KTM but why would you, it's not like engine parts are cheap to replace if something is out of spec and you end up having a failure.
Everything is built with a goal in mind KTM's goal was to create a powerful light bike, they did that by having lighter parts that need replacement more often.
Yamaha went for more robust parts that don't need to be replaced more often but weigh more than the KTM parts.
To put it in perspective with the KTM going by KTM's recomendation's on parts check and replacement during the 42000km that you would be riding the WRR before the first valve check you would have replaced or checked
Valves checked 12 times possible adjustment
3 to 4 pistons and rings
3 to 4 valves, springs and seats
3 to 4 connecting rods, connecting rod bearing, and crank pin
3 to 4 timing chains
This is just some of the list of things that the manual tells you to do, to me that sounds like a race bike not a dual sport. And if you really can't stand the pace that a WRR can travel at then you are going very vast indeed or traveling through gnarly stuff that is going to be stressing your bikes parts.
So in the end we have diffent tools for different roles, don't try to fool yourself into thinking that a KTM will be like the WRR as the miles pile up or if you want carry lots of stuff or even people.
And I think one thing that we can all agree on is that the KTM is the much better weapon for traveling quickly in the dirt.

Get one of each; neither is a swiss army knife. Buy used to keep the cost down. You can get a reliable 200 -300 exc from the 2001-2004 era and put 1k into it and be ready to go for a total of `3k. Add a used creampuff wr for about 4k or less and you are still at 7k. You need a hitch carrier if you cant plate the smoker, but who cares? You're still in for the price of a new ktm or the yamaha!

It happens because the Japanese haven't offered us anything better than the WRR250. Why haven't the Big Four given us a 350, 450, ect. to compare to a KTM? Don't get mad at the "orange riders" for pointing out the obvious.
I had a WR450f that was plated and I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't made to be a dual-sport. It only had a 5-speed and only got 30 mpg. I recently sold it.
Now, I'm shopping again.....and what are my choices? I don't really like the idea of a 300 lb 250cc bike. I don't like the hassle plating a dirt bike, and I shouldn't have to.
I really like Japanese bikes, but I just don't see them offering what I want these days.

The KTM is no dual sport, it is an excellent bike but shouldn't be put up against the WRR if you mission is an all purpose bike. Also I don't see how 40 lbs is make or break, the WRR is a bitch to pull out of a mud hole and a 260 lb KTM is going to be a bitch to drag out of a mud hole. I ride with my friend who has a CRF250R that is even lighter than the KTM and guess what, his bike is a bitch to get unstuck aswell.
So people can either buy race bikes or dual sports, there is no magical do everything bike, you want longer service intervals and more carrying capacity as well as more wattage for your electrical stuff and so one then you gain weight.

The KTM 690 Enduro is KTM's true dual sport bike. It is not a high strung race bike. The 690 has a a maintenance schedule very similar to the WR250R (other than 6,600 mile vs. 25,000 mile valve checks).
Having owned both, the only glaring differences between the WRR and 690 are the price ($6,700ish vs. $10,200ish) and the 690's incredible horsepower advantage. MPG's are actually pretty similar; I get an average of 57-63 MPG with my 690, I got about 60-65 MPG on my WRR's.

I had an '08. I found it heavy and under powered. Uninspiring, mild, maybe even boring. Felt like I was on an XR250 with cheap inverted forks. I didn't like having no kick start option, I didn't like that I had to buy a computer to tune the EFI, I thought the plastics were ugly, the tank was to small, lots of smog control b.s. they cut a lot of corners to meet a price point and it showed in overall fit/finish.
Sold it last spring for $4,500 three days later bought a titled and plated CRF450X and I've never looked back.
The only thing I think about enviously now that I'm on the 450X is the sixth gear.

text: Be sure to download the Daily SAT Question of the Day. Only every third day is math, the the English lessons are also of value. The math examples are very similar to the actual test in that they expect the student to think carefully about that which has been asked, be meticulous in the calculations, and be reluctant to guess at the answer, since a percentage of the incorrect answers are subtracted from the total score. In preparation it is very helpful to learn the special triangles from Geometry and be prepared for either abstract or non-intuitive dimensions. For example, in a 30 - 60 - 90 right triangle, one would expect the side opposite the 60 degree angle to contain the square root of 3, but often it is one of the other sides that contains this or some other square root. If one understands the ratios that apply in this example it is still possible to rapidly solve the problem.

Jay O'Neal grew up in Ada, quarterbacked the Cougars to the 1952 state championship and was The Oklahoman's first ever Back of the Year. Then he went to OU and spent three years as the backup quarterback, 1954-56, and never lost a game. O'Neal coached for awhile, then entered the early days of the cable television business.
Collected Wisdom: Jay O'Neal, former OU quarterback
Ada was what I call Happy Days. I was 15 in 1950. So I'd be 25 in 1960. That's your growing-up age. Small town America. Rode a bicycle everywhere. Wasn't a lot of TV, so you did a lot of stuff outside. We played sandlot baseball and sandlot football. It was a Happy Days experience. Good town. Still had a downtown, before Wal-Mart wiped out most of the small town downtown area. Movie theaters. Always went to the movie on the weekends.
For me, the late '40s, I was 10, 12, 13, going to high school games and going to the college games, didn't have TV to watch football, so you listened on the radio. It was an idyllic experience. People didn't worry about somebody being kidnapped. It was a wonderful experience.
Extremely blessed to be there at those times. Looking back at Ada, Elvan George, like most everybody in the '40s, was running the single wing and the double wing. The short punts. Of course, coach (Bud) Wilkinson came along and at OU in '46, started developing what became known as the split-T.
The T formation had been around for awhile. I guess the Bears had run it. But most of it was foot to foot for the linemen. Don Faurot is the one that came up with splitting the line, to spread the defense. Bud not only split the linemen to split the defense, but he was smart enough to realize, if they were going with you, move them in when you're running outside and move them out when you're running inside.
My coach in Ada in 1950, went up to OU at spring practice. Elvan got up there, he was a real detailed guy. He studied what they were doing. He brought that down to Ada for the 1950 season, and my brother Pat was the quarterback, what we could handle at the high school age. Bud used to send out letters in the summer to his players. He'd send them to my brother, and I'd read 'em. I knew pretty much everything about our offense. What they want you to run.
For me, that was a break that that all happened. Gave me a chance to go OU. In 1953, freshmen weren't eligible. Didn't have a limit on scholarships. Can't remember how many freshmen there were, 50 something scholarship players. Freshmen group turned out to be a classic group of players. We had two games. Tulsa and Oklahoma A&M. Worked out all year and got to play two games. Spent most of our time working out the varsity.
For some reason, the varsity was down in numbers. Must have been the Korean War. So the practice, it was still football, although we had our separate team. For me, it was a real eye opener. I think there was seven freshman quarterbacks on scholarship. I thought, man, this is going to be tough.
Texas was the only game they took freshmen out of town to. We got to ride the bus to Dallas and sit in the Cotton Bowl. My eyes were big as saucers. It was a great game, OU won, I think it was 19-14. And that was the first win of the (47-game) streak. Then OU went ahead and won the rest of the season. Represented the Big Seven in the Orange Bowl.
Some of us had to stay and work out with the varsity. The last day of practice before the team broke to go home for Christmas, we scrimmaged. We stopped 'em three times. I'll never forget, Tommy McDonald, he kind of said what he thought. The varsity was over there in the huddle. He said, "Hey, coach, maybe you better take us to the bowl game." I think he got their attention, because the next 15 or 20 minutes they kicked the hell out of us.
They created the (single platoon) rule in 1953. Wanted to cut down the expense of football programs. Very limited substitution rule. Basically said if you started a quarter, you could come out and go back in once. But if you didn't start the quarter, and you went in and came out, you couldn't come back in. So you couldn't have any kinds of specialists.
Bud just came up and said, OK, we're going to create two teams. One will play the first half of the quarter. Two teams as equally as you could get 'em. We had enough players to do that. It was pretty much a split deal. Just depended on how the game broke on when he put the next guys in.

I am very disappointed that the oven vent is below the controls. If you want to use the timer after the oven is pre-heated you will practically burn your fingers. I had a Maytag oven that I bought 12 years ago and it looks the same as this one, but I did not have this problem with my old one. I had a few repairs in the past with the old oven and when the old one stopped working again I decided to buy another Maytag, only because they don't offer many built in ovens for this size. And why could they not include a broiler pan? Be careful of the light bulb in the back of the oven. Do not put a pan to close to it.

Comments about Maytag 24" Single Gas Wall Oven:
the oven works ok. front panel can get very hot. biggest problem: it doesn't come with a broiler pan!!! ordered the one that was recommended by the pamphlet using a coupon they included. not able to use the coupon and when the pan arrived it was way too small. called the company to complain and they said they didn't know why it didn't fit but I could return it. at my expense!!! still no broiler pan.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Baking Bliss
By Mel
from East Troy, Wi
This is my second Maytag oven. I think I wore the old one out. I love to bake both for my family and my friends. When my old oven died, I went into a "bakers funk" I would look at recipes and then remember my poor oven is gone. I kept the recipes and now am baking like I have 12 children. I only have one, and he is 30 and doesn't live at home.

Replaced older model of same make and model. This one has only slightly different control panel so makes it easy to use. I am happy with this oven.
Replacement Wall Oven
By Edwige the smart shopper
from Newark
I bought this to replace another wall oven. I looked at other models and was most pleased with the Maytag. Since I had it installed, I am extremely pleased with not only the way it looks on the outside, but the inside is a tad larger than the replacement. Works great.
Great replacement
By grandma Terrie
from Des Moines, Ia
After hours of on line research,I decided on this to replace my 35 year old double wall oven. The dementions were very close and I knew I could rely on a Maytag product. I am very pleased!
Love the black look. Very sleek.

Works well
By Kathy

I had an old gas wall oven + broiler that stopped working. There are very few replacement choices. Everything I read on the internet said to buy this one. I did, and I am very happy. It works very well, and far better than my old one.

Collins comes out _ and support quickly follows
Collins finished this season with the Wizards, traveling, practicing, playing, dressing and hanging out with the same men, day after day after day.
They had no idea he was gay.
"No, I didn't know about it! I don't think anyone did!" Wizards guard Bradley Beal wrote in a text message. "I am proud of his decision to come out and express the way he feels and I'm supportive of that!! I never judge anyone, that's his decision and his life to live!"
Wizards owner Ted Leonsis talked with Collins on Monday, saying that he told him, "we are proud of you and I support you in every way possible."
Collins' message was not unanimously well received. Countless tweets about Collins included a gay slur. In New York, well-known sports radio host Mike Francesa called the story "a dramatic attempt to sell a magazine." Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace had to backtrack from, delete and eventually apologize for two tweets he posted about the Collins story, in which he said he did not understand homosexuality.
Still, the praise Collins got far outweighed anything else.
"I don't think it's any of my business to be anything but respectful of the way people want to live their life," Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said.
The news apparently took almost everyone who is outside of Collins' innermost circle by surprise, including Judy Shepard, the mother of Matthew Shepard - a gay college student from Wyoming who was killed in 1998. Collins switched his jersey number to 98 this season, a silent tribute that he never even told the Shepard family about.
"We're especially happy that now he feels free to be himself," Judy Shepard said in a telephone interview. "We're happy for him, relieved that his news is being received so well across the board."
And it was.
Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson, when asked on Twitter if he ever played with a gay teammate, responded by saying, "who cares?" Actor Neil Patrick Harris, who came out nearly a decade ago, thanked Collins for "standing tall" - a nod to his height. NBA stars Kobe Bryant (who was fined $100,000 in 2011 after using a common homophobic slur during a game) and Dwyane Wade sent messages of support. And Golden State Warriors president Rick Welts, who is gay, lauded Collins as "a man of great courage."
"We should all be tolerant. Not only tolerant but accepting," Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun said. "I think it's a great thing. I think everyone should be encouraged to be comfortable and confident in who they are. I think, hopefully, that this will be the first step in the right direction for anybody that's going through some of the same things he's been going through."

Barack Obama, "the liberator float" in Rose Monday carnival in Duesseldorf, Germany.
Another Obama float pops up in Europe.
