The Best of the Only Incompetent Germans
It started off so well.
Mantras sewn into the fabric, apparently less intrusive piping, nods to the helmet stripes. The only ominous sign was marketing people who insisted on brand-specific copy errors.
Then they tried to lick our moisture:

Tuesday Recruitin' Looks Good, Feels Good
Elite 11 Updates: Peters Performing Well, Probably
Ah, the Elite 11, when a group of more than 11 of the nation's best quarterbacks gather for a camp in which a handful of throws will be analyzed to death. There's usually something of a disconnect between how the recruiting analysts and the camp counselors rank the performers. This year doesn't appear to be different. After Monday's opening session, Scout's Brandon Huffman named Michigan commit Brandon Peters among the five quarterbacks who stood out to him:
Was one of the most consistent passers all morning. Was just hot from the get-go on day one. Looked athletic and threw the ball with very little effort. The Michigan commit really dropped the ball into the basket for receivers and it looks like the Wolverines have a lot to be excited about.
247's Barton Simmons also had high praise for Peters:
Finally Brandon Peters was one of the guys that multiple analysts were buzzing about and his upside is crazy considering he's had limited quarterback training and he has elite athleticism that shows up on the basketball court.
Partway through the camp, however, Peters isn't on the Elite 11 rankings list. (He's far from the only notable missing: five-star FSU commit Malik Henry didn't crack the list, either.) Peters still has time to make a move; regardless, he's been impressive to onlookers.
Meanwhile, Peters is also keeping an eye on recruiting, per 247's Steve Wiltfong:
"I was talking to coach the other day," Peters said. "He said we might get Ahmir Mitchell and maybe (Naseir Upshur). Also I think Devin Bush Jr."
Upshur will be at The Opening this week, as will Peters and Michael Onwenu. You can bet M's commits will be working on getting Upshur to join them.

2015 Recruiting: Keith Washington

|3*, NR overall
|3*, #1460 overall
|Other Suitors
|Cal, TCU, Miami, Mizzou, Louisville, UNC, Duke, UK

|Previously On MGoBlog
|Hello post from Ace.
|Twitter. Older teammate of Kingston Davis and Dytarious Johnson at Prattville. Decommitted from Duke and then Cal.
Senior hudl film. DB-only highlights as well.
The world was not particularly different when Keith Washington committed to Michigan. He is one of the first of the Harbaugh Guys, and demonstrated that in person with the man himself:
"They told me they had heard I was pretty fast, and I told them I'd run a 4.3," Washington recalls. "And they were like 'we don't believe you.'
"So I just said, OK, I'll run one for you right now outside. Let's go."
That story made the signing day press conference and will hopefully be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
It is likely to be one on a slow burn. Washington is a project. He is projected by just about everyone to be a cornerback in college, but—as is often the case with super athletes—he played quarterback in high school. After a senior-year transfer from Texas, Washington walked into a Alabama state power at Pratville and immediately won the starting QB job. As a result all of his DB film is underclassman stuff from Texas. Also he is 170 pounds. It's going to take some time.
Even so there's a major disconnect between Washington's recruiting profile and his high school exploits. Prattville made the 7A* state championship game with Washington at the helm, rushing for 1200 yards at a Denard-esque 7.9 YPC. His passing numbers are pretty good, too: 61%, 1800 yards, 19 TD, 5 INT. He was mentioned as a (fringe) candidate for Alabama's Mr. Football award, won the Montgomery Advertiser's 6A-7A player of the year award… and nobody ranks him in, or really even near, the top ten players in the state when it comes to college potential. He does have to switch positions, but you'd think a guy who ripped through the best competition the state of Alabama had to offer would get a bit of respect even if it was as an "athlete."
Washington is certainly that, running sub-4.5 40s as an underclassman out of Clute, Texas. By the time Harbaugh sat down with him his go-to number was 4.38. Whether that is fake or not, his ability to separate himself—quickly—from defensive backs in Alabama's highest division leaps off his tape. A coach who played against him last year:
"The main thing that stands out about Washington is just how athletic he is," Dukes said. "He was dangerous whenever he got outside the pocket so that was our main focus. We wanted to keep him from doing that. … He can really run. Being athletic at quarterback is a bonus and hopeful, but it's not expected. If your quarterback is shifty and able to run like him it's a huge bonus, but at corner it's a must. You have got to have a great athlete there and I think he is that."
ESPN praises him as a "gifted athlete," repeatedly notes that he "demonstrates he can both run away from defenders and catch people from behind," and says he's a "general athlete that looks comfortable in whatever role he is asked to play."
Keith Washington is fast. Meanwhile his father (who is also named Keith Washington) was an Alabama high school star himself and a fringe NFL player for several years.
The transition to corner is the holdup in his rankings. There is little scouting on him for obvious reasons. He's 170 pounds. He's been mostly an offensive player the last couple years. His DB film from his Texas days looks rough to my amateur eye. Touch The Banner also has the quintessential scout-guy question about him:
I question whether Washington has the hips to be a big-time corner. He's a little bit stiff in the upper and lower body, and he does not transition out of a backpedal very well. As one might expect of someone who's primarily a cornerback, he also lacks tackling technique and doesn't pack much of a punch. Some of these things are technique issues - and strength and conditioning issues - that can be helped with some time in college.
Overall, I look at Washington and I see Jeremy Clark, who's a 6'4" safety for Michigan.
It's tough to make any call on him given the QB transition. When he was a Cal commit, Cal folks were impressed:
Physically, he's long and lean; and he really doesn't have a frame suited for some of the physicality required of a safety. … great acceleration. His ability to turn and chase is impressive with his closing speed. His height and long arms help him in press coverage and playing the ball, and he's a willing though unpolished tackler. … his athleticism makes him a natural in pass coverage. …athletically, Washington really is impressive.
Unfortunately, when I think "recent Cal defensive back" good things do not come to mind. This does:
An optimistic take on a commit should be taken in the context it was given. Clint Brewster also gave an evaluation a swing:
…got to like his height at 6-foot-2, and his rangy frame. Washington won't have an issue covering the big outside receivers. He's got good speed and can cover ground. … Washington shows good change of direction and breaks on the ball quickly.
Can he play cornerback? Nobody really knows.
There is a backup plan. Harbaugh loves to flip guys around and we already have a pretty good idea of what Keith Washington looks like as an offensive player. He looks like Steve Breaston. He looks creepily like Steve Breaston, playing against the top level of Alabama football. Northwestern recruited him as Kain Colter II, except fast(!):
While Washington says he "can come down under center" if he has to, his strengths are working from the shotgun and running the zone-read game -- much like Kain Colter did for Northwestern over the last four years.
Unlike Colter, however, Washington is a burner with "low 4.4, high 4.3 speed."
Michigan's slot receivers in spring were playing corner and then booted off the team (Norfleet), a true freshman probably better suited to the outside (Cole), and various walk-ons. There is room for a Steve Breaston even in Harbaugh's world of thud.
If it turns out the transition to corner is not going very well, the obvious thing to do is stick him at receiver and see if he can also go to work. I'm not sayin'… I'm just sayin'. I am sayin' that I wonder how seriously we should take any of these positional designations given the propensity of Harbaugh to try anyone anywhere. This goes double for Washington, a quintessential ATH recruit.
Get him in, guess at a position, and let marinate.
*[This is the largest classification. Alabama just added it last January for reasons unknown. There are only 32 teams in it, which seems small for a high school division.]
Etc.: Will wear #6. Attention Michigan social media wranglers: make this happen.
What song are you picking if you had to sing karaoke?
"That's a tough one. I'd probably have to pick Usher's 'Let it Burn.'"
Can you sing?
"Oh yeah."
Please make this happen.
Why Steve Breaston or James Rogers? If you are going off the high school film that does not look like it was filmed underwater, Keith Washington looks like a clone of high school Steve Breaston, who was a dual-threat quarterback and all-around athletic terror. Washington has the same kind of foot-in-the-ground shallow cut Breaston did, and has the ability to maintain speed through it like Breaston did.
As a defensive back the closest comparison I have is not a positive one, but James Rogers was a tall, very fast offensive player in high school with a modest recruiting profile who many people thought would be a defensive back. He bounced back and forth between offense and defense before becoming a starting corner on Rich Rodriguez's first defense. He could not flip the ol' hips very well and was constantly picked upon.
Morgan Trent is another potential comparison here. Trent had a higher profile as a recruit; in college he ended up being a very fast straight-line guy who couldn't change direction well enough to thwart Troy Smith.
Guru Reliability: Moderate. Healthy and high profile player, but a major position switch clouds matters. Also no camps after a few early combines—very possible that was a reason his ranking was bleah.
Variance: High. This is an Ikea prospect who you must assemble yourself.
Ceiling: High. 6'2" cornerback with excellent speed.
General Excitement Level: Moderate. Love the go-get-it mentality, love the athleticism, worry about major transition and ability to add a bunch of weight and maintain said athleticism. I prefer him as an offensive player.
Projection: One of the surest redshirts on the team. Washington needs to add weight, move to a position he either hasn't played ever (receiver) or hasn't played in a long time (cornerback), and then add more weight.
After that your guess is as good as anyone's. He could end up a starting corner, he could be a slot receiver, he could never find a home and fade away.
Michigan Signs With Nike
This has been a fait accompli for a few weeks now; it is now official:
Reunited and it feels sooo good. http://t.co/ZCpmchtZMV #URecord pic.twitter.com/MPguZr2oPg
— UniversityofMichigan (@UMich) July 6, 2015
Also press release.
Creepy divorce metaphor aside, this is likely to please everyone. We have a Best Of Adidas post being assembled and it's a doozy. Around here we started calling them the Only Incompetent Germans after Glenn Robinson's jersey exploded in a cloud of fibers for the third or fourth time.
Nike's not perfect—in fact the only Nike tag we have on the blog is "nike would like you to wear this aerodynamic fez"—but the athletes really wanted Nike according to internal surveys. A lot of the fans really wanted Nike according to Sam Webb, who would know. Even those who were pretty indifferent to the brand of clothing they're wearing scoffed at the many and diverse fashion crimes perpetrated on the best uniforms in sports. And so the department acquiesced even though there were reports that the Adidas offer was worth significantly more.
Yes: the athletic department made a decision based on something other than making revenue go up. Even if you don't really care what symbol is on Michigan's jerseys, that has to feel good.
No numbers yet. Those will be announced next week. Current details:
- Contract runs to 2027 with a Michigan option to extend to 2031.
- Contract starts August 1st of next year.
- Michigan can use "Jumpman" apparel for their basketball teams—apparently this is a big deal.
- The Daily's Zach Shaw reports that employees were told that Michigan will be Nike's "top deal." I think they say that to all the girls.
I don't think uniformz are off the table unless the AD says they're off the table; that will be the next thing to watch for.
Recruitin' Mailbag: Class Size, Camp Offers, Talent In Ohio
Hello, I'm back, and very thankful to have missed the dumbest week of the offseason thus far. The long-promised recruiting mailbag is here, and I'll have a recruiting roundup tomorrow once I've caught up.
There may be in-class attrition. It probably won't include Mike Onwenu. [Rapai]
At long last, we've gone long enough—hold on...
[checks Twitter]
[checks three different message boards]
[checks Twitter again]
...we've gone long enough without a commitment for me to put together the recruiting mailbag I promised weeks ago.
@AceAnbender #MGoMailbag A lot of talk about us reaching and passing 25 in this class. Do you see it?
— CBCS (@MGoFour) June 15, 2015
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Michigan already sits at 21 commits in the class and they have several positions of need yet to fill: wide receiver, tight end, defensive tackle, BUCK linebacker, cornerback, probably one more offensive lineman, and maybe an additional inside linebacker. They may even take a kicker, though Quinn Nordin's recruitment is trending towards Penn State. That's seven or so more potential spots. If they find a way to make the numbers work, this class could conceivably reach 28 players, with the coaches backdating a few early enrollees to fit under the yearly cap of 25.
Can Michigan make this work without oversigning? I think so. Brian covered part of the numbers outlook in his recent mailbag, noting two areas where scholarships should open up:
- There are 4-6 current redshirt juniors who are candidates for unrenewed fifth years. They'll have spent four years in the program and will leave with degrees in hand.
- There are a couple potential medical redshirts, not including the now known to the public effort to get Ondre Pipkins to agree to take one. Pipkins, a senior, wouldn't have affected the 2016 scholarship count regardless.
There's another huge factor: the impending depth chart crunch. Michigan is set to have seven scholarship quarterbacks on the roster in 2016; they'll also have seven scholarship running backs. That's 14 players for two starting positions (three if M goes RB-by-committee), and there's a good chance underclassmen pass an upperclassman or two. Depending upon how the depth chart shakes out, there could be 3-4 transfer candidates just from those two position groups. As the pecking order is established in fall camp and during the season, some players will look for playing time elsewhere.
In addition, I looked at Stanford's 2010 class for a reason. Any class that fills this many spots this early is likely to have attrition, and while Stanford's 2010 class had an unusual number of decommitments even for Harbaugh, it'd surprise me more if Michigan held onto every current commit than if they lost at least a couple. David Reese is looking at Louisville and Notre Dame. Dele' Harding camped at West Virginia recently. In-class attrition should be expected.
For those looking at the number of highly ranked targets on Michigan's board and wondering where those spots will come from, that should help provide an answer, as should this: always remember that fans tend to overestimate their team's chances of landing top-ranked commits. Is Michigan going to pull in some four-stars and perhaps even a five-star or two down the stretch? Yes. Are they going to add Rashan Gary, both Kellys, Dontavious Jackson, Terrance Davis, Ahmir Mitchell, and Nasier Upshur to round out the class? No. While Michigan is in very good shape with each of those prospects, anyone who's followed recruiting for a while knows that a class never wraps up so neatly, let alone so spectacularly—especially when dealing with so many out-of-region prospects.
At this point, I'm not too concerned about the numbers. There's still an entire fall camp and football season to play before Signing Day, and Michigan is in their first year under a demanding coach with a markedly different style from his predecessor. If M has to "free up" a half-dozen scholarships in February, we have a problem; I don't anticipate this being a problem.

This Week's Obsession: Treat Me Like a Stranger
The Question:
Dave: What future non-conference game are you most looking forward to?
The Responses:
Seth: As the usual question-asker I rarely get a chance to take the obvious response, in this case the 2020 trip to Washingon. So I'm gonna celebrate my good fortune with a top five list:
1. Seattle. Many U.S. cities are basically the same buildings, chain restaurants and NFL team just rearranged. Seattle is one of the few who are not that. Imagine San Francisco's waterfront, Brooklyn-like neighborhoods, and Portland's love affair with the 1990s. Then add 1000% more polar fleece, and coffee so good you should probably avoid it lest you spend the rest of your life as a Whole Foods shopper.
Seattle pier [me]
2. Michigan-Washington = classic football. In addition to the once-a-decade home-and-home we've been scheduling since the 1950s, we've met the Huskies four times in Pasadena, including Bo's first win:
(the only time in history "who wants it more" was probably a thing)
It's rare enough to keep them exotic, and familiar enough for a wealth of subplots, like the 1983 game where Michigan learned The Wave.*
3. Washington fans. Like other schools you can name with a rich football tradition, a healthy respect for academics, and who have survived Ty Willingham, Huskies fans are surprisingly tolerable. They remember Marlin Jackson like we remember Omar Lowe.
4. Gameday should be pretty good. It's one of the older programs in a gorgeous stadium on a gorgeous old campus in early September. In 2020 Chris Petersen would be in his seventh year, Harbaugh his sixth, provided both survive until then. No bets that far in the future are sure things in college football, but the two former quarterbacks are likely enough to have their respective programs consistently ranked by then.
5. Family. The moment the news broke last year that Michigan was going to Washington I secured a promise from the wife that we'd be there, then called my particularly awesome cousin in Seattle to book our room. This thing is stone; family members have received notification to keep all weddings and pregnancies clear.
* Michael Florek covered the history of this for HTTV '14. Short version is the Huskies stole it from some Vancouver hockey fans, then M cheerleaders picked it up on the '83 visit and taught it to Michigan Stadium, where the bowl was a natural fit (and Bo blew one). Michigan fans took it to Tiger Stadium in the 1984 World Series, and it went national from there.

What is the Prison Ministry?
FBC prison ministry meets every Monday night from 7:00 to 9:00pm at the Orange Correctional Center, Hillsborough, NC. This ministry has been ongoing since April 1975. Since the ministry began God has blessed it to meet, as of May 16, 2005, for 1560 consecutive Monday nights, without missing a single Monday Night Bible Study. Praise and glory belong to God for all that has been accomplished in this ministry. The program format is simple. After the meeting room is set up for the Bible study an announcement is made over the unit PA system for the Bible study program. All the men wishing to attend are allowed to come. After a short greeting some songs are sung and then there is a sharing time that allows each man to briefly share what is going on in his life and any prayer requests that he has. There is then an extended prayer time and every prayer request that was noted is brought before the Lord. The rest of the time is spent in Bible study. Over the years many of these men have come to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior and others have rededicated their lives.
The Need for Prison Ministries
Several years ago a prison chaplain at the largest prison facility in western North Carolina conducted a study over a long period of time. His study revealed that almost 90% of all of the inmates incarcerated at the time had been in prison before and statistics showed that they would be in prison again within 5 years after they were released. Also, his study showed that of all the inmates who participated in a Bible study or received some other form of spiritual training while incarcerated, that less than 10% of those inmates ever went to prison again. Although the prison system tries to rehabilitate those incarcerated, the law prohibits any religious training being put into practice. For many inmates incarceration is a spiritual awakening. This is where God has opened a "large door" for the Church in the form of prison ministries such as Bible studies.
The Cost of Incarceration
As of May 14, 2005 the prison population in North Carolina was 37,090. The average cost of incarceration of an inmate was $62.43 per day. The average cost to incarcerate an inmate for a year was $22,787. This figure multiplied by 37,090 is $845,169,830. This figure does not take into consideration the cost of building new prison facilities and hiring more prison personnel and management. Nor does it take into consideration the cost of police and sheriff's departments, courts, attorneys, jails, lost time, and wages, not mention the terrible costs placed on all levels of society, or the inmates' families. It is estimated that the State of North Carolina will spend in excess of one billion dollars in 2005 combating the costs of crime. Far worse is the loss of an inmate's soul. At the present time there are more men incarcerated in the United States than there are in all of the armed forces of the United States combined.
How You Can Help
If you are looking for a worthwhile ministry to invest your time and one where the need is great and cost effective then you need look no further. If you are interested in this ministry please call the FBC church office at (919) 688-7308 or email Jack Evans.

Hail, traveler. I am Lunk-tusk of the Kalu'ak. We are known as tuskarr to your people. My partner and I were recently sent up to investigate strange happenings along one of our hunting trails. It was when we approached the graveyard known as Shield Hill that we were attacked by the undead. I was lucky to make it to this camp, but I am uncertain as to what became of Orfus.
We parted ways at the Ancient Lift, southeast of here along the cliff edge. Will you go see if he is ok?

Orfus of Kamagua in the Howling Fjord wants you to find Fengir's Clue, Rodin's Clue, Isuldof's Clue and Windan's Clue.
The path east of us is a primary hunting trail of the tuskarr. At least that's what it used to be...
More recently our hunters have been returning to Kamagua claiming that the dead have risen and are out for blood! That is what has brought my son and me here. Elder Atuik asks that we find resolution in the bluffs.
Will you assist us in our time of need? I seek heroes willing to brave the perils of Shield Hill, southeast of here. Search the desecrated graves for clues and return your findings to me.

Created: 02/04/2013 4:16 PM KSTP.com By: Leslie Dyste
A Redwood Falls man is charged with murder and arson after a fire last month killed a 72-year-old man living in his apartment building.
Forty-eight-year-old Peter William Warren appeared in court Monday on charges of second- and third-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter and 10 counts of first-degree arson.
KLGR-AM reports Redwood Falls police and fire departments were called to a fire at the Lakeside Manor Apartment building on Jan. 24. Crews found Gene Gilland unresponsive in his apartment. He was taken to a hospital but died from fire-related causes.
Redwood County Attorney Steven Collins says authorities believe Warren started the fire in a closet in the building's dining room. The motive is unclear.
The fire displaced all 52 residents of the building.
Unconditional bail is set at $1.5 million.

Our community consistently prepares professionals within a framework of key ideas: learning domains, reflective practice, and academic self-regulation.
The three learning domains, learner, knowledge, and assessment, occur in each program within a context that may vary according to the program's specific goals. Although one program may have its strongest emphasis on subject area knowledge and another may focus on assessment or monitoring of results the lenses of reflective practice and academic self-regulation integrate all of our programs. This integration is a seamless and cyclical process: Faculty engaged in the act of teaching use assessment data or results from directed, experiential, or holistic learning to inform and shape their future instruction. This process, and its alignment with "By Teaching We Learn", describes the dynamic interaction between professional educators in the college of education and learners.

By the time you get out of bed, she's trained 1,200 midshipmen.
Margaret Gilroy, 21
United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md.; systems engineering major
Gilroy is always on the run. As the lone brigade training sergeant in charge of freshmen, she hops out of bed at 5:25 A.M. to oversee 1,000 sailors- and Marines-to-be in their workout and inspections. And that's just her warm-up: The captain of the women's marathon team, she runs up to 20 miles daily and has 10 marathons under her belt. She's also cofounder of her local Girls on the Run program. "To elementary kids, a 5K is like a marathon," she says. "To see them destroy this challenge is unbelievable."
Her goal: To be among the Navy's first female submariners and complete 100 marathons.
Her tip: Push yourself—and others. "It's all about telling someone, 'You can do that,' when they don't think they can," she says.

Closing Night Tickets Still Available and Fundraiser Screenings Added!
Fundraiser screenings of HAUSU and RUMBLE IN THE BRONX added to closing night festivities!
Tickets are still available for several of our closing night screenings tonight, plus we have added two fundraiser screenings for really great causes! Read on for information & ticketing links to the fundraiser screenings and original closing night programming.
HAUSU is the story of a haunted house - and what happens when seven teenage girls travel from room to unpredictable room, each step leading them closer to their doom. What is originally intended as a relaxing summer vacation to visit an aunt's country home unwittingly transforms into an all-out girl-against-ghost battle against man-eating pianos, blood-spurting cats, and a host of the supernatural. HAUSU is characteristically light on logic, but heavy on style, execution, and charm. If you haven't seen this on the big screen, you won't believe your eyes!
This screening is a fundraiser for Adam Salinas's mom. Adam has been an employee at the Alamo Drafthouse for nearly nine years. His mother's home is sliding off its foundation and she doesn't have the funds to repair or arrest the damage. Without immediate action and support funds, her home may be destroyed and lost forever. This screening features a "pay what you can" structure to encourage each audience member to contribute what they can to this meaningful cause. 100% of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to Adam's mom so she can save her home. Click here for tickets.
Jackie Chan is a real hero of the silver screen. No matter the role, audiences can always rest assured that Chan will fall on the side of justice. In RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, Chan plays Keung, a young man who makes a special trip to New York City to attend his uncle's wedding. While his uncle is on his honeymoon, Keung graciously offers to manage his uncle's market in the Bronx. Before too long, a local street gang starts to make trouble. Keung, the one-man moral machine, seeks to put an end to the disruption before the situation spirals out of control.
While Chan may be our hero of choice when it comes to movies, Alan Graham is a real Austin hero. His organization, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, has been tirelessly serving the chronically homeless since 1998. In 2013, he is unveiling a revolutionary housing concept called Community First which will provide housing and support for over 200 homeless Austinites.Alamo Drafthouse and the San Jose Hotel are partnering on the project to create a unique sustainable bed and breakfast concept at the site. This screening has a "pay what you can" structure encourage each audience member to contribute what they can to this meaningful cause. 100% of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to the Mobile Loaves and Fishes Community First project. Additionally, Alamo Drafthouse will match all donations dollar for dollar. We will also have a silent auction in the lobby for all attendees of the Lamar closing night event. All proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to Community First as well. Click here for tickets.
Alamo South Lamar Closing Night Programming
(Big) Kids Club: THREE STOOGES Party!!!
All right, you lame-brained knuckleheads. It's time to drown ourselves in the toilet end of Golden Age Hollywood with the funnybone-busting buffoonery of history's most beloved witless wonders. Whether they're destroying priceless antiques, stumbling through a haunted house or tossing a pie in aristocrats' faces, this trio of subhumanoid goofnuts
immortalize the grand art of blazing, rampaging slapstick idiocy. We'll be presenting FIVE of their most madcap short forays into dunce cap chaos, all in glorious 35mm. So crack open your skull and dislodge your noodle, cuz you sure ain't gonna need it. Instead, Larry, Moe and Curly will be crawling up your cortex to obliterate your meager IQ with a relentless assault of knee-slappingly zany physical abuse!! Heck, there'll even be a short featuring our favorite underdog stooge; part of our tireless crusade to legalize Shemp! Be here for an unforgettable night of anti-intellectual adventure, as we throw Alamo South Lamar's first (and last) THREE STOOGES PARTYYYY!!! (Zack Carlson)
We've been screening this quote-along at the Alamo Lamar every Monday for the past year, so it only seems right that we party with the Dude one final time. We've subtitled all of your favorite lines, man, and we'll be handing out props so you can feel like a real Little Lebowski Urban Achiever. Fight for the Dude's favorite rug, guard your
toes from Walter and whatever you do, don't f*ck with the Jesus. (The Action Pack)
With legendary director DON COSCARELLI in attendance!
Don Coscarelli, the creative cyclone behind PHANTASM, BEASTMASTER and BUBBA HO-TEP, returns to form with his first movie in a decade, a big screen adaptation of the cult novel JOHN DIES AT THE END. This thrill-a-minute comedy gorefest packs in more twists and turns than all the other movies you will see this year. See frozen meat monsters, phallic door hardware, lysergic tangents, sentient slugs, flying moustaches and more, all in the company of the nicest man in Hollywood, Don Coscarelli (Tim League)
To celebrate the end of an era at the Lamar theater, Girlie Night is kicking it high school style and throwing a cinematic prom. Come dressed in your finest pink ensemble (bonus points if you sew it yourself) and enjoy the John Hughes classic that created teams (Blaine vs Duckie!) way before Edward and Jacob. Start practicing your Otis Redding lip synch routine now! (Sara Pitre)
Jean-Luc Godard turns his thoughts to a rapidly changing Paris. A prime example of cinema interruptus, 2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER features snippets of thoughts about capitalism and communism, the war in Vietnam, the meanings of words, and a spreading indifference to the modern world and its problems. (Austin Film Society)
TOBE HOOPER, director/writer/producer of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE in attendance!
The Alamo Drafthouse is proud to present a monumental evening for all generations of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE fans -- a double feature screening of the original THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE in 35mm and its first-ever direct sequel, TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D! After four decades of semi-sequels and requels, the franchise returns with TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D, the first-ever direct sequel to the original film. If your body isn't ripped to shreds from sheer happiness after watching these two films PLUS hanging out with Tobe Hooper, don't ever talk to me again. (Joe Ziemba)
Closing night at the Alamo Lamar promises to be packed with nostalgia and film appreciation... and like any Alamo party, it is also guaranteed to get ridiculous. To go out with a bang, we're screening a film that really knows how to bring the crazy: BRIDESMAIDS. Slip on your most heinous bridesmaid dress and join us for an evening of hilarious awkwardness, bodily dysfunction and a little Wilson Philips karaoke. (Puppy party favors not included.) (Sarah Pitre)
Van Dammage was the absolute best time of my life. I thought there could be no better way to say, "thanks for the memories, South Lamar" than getting a 35mm print of the movie that ultimately got the axe from that lineup and show it on our final night. This movie wasn't excised because it wasn't good -- quite the opposite, in fact -- it
may have been discarded because it was just TOO GOOD. Lance Henriksen has been hiring homeless vets to play in a game of human prey and Van Damme is hot on his trail to find a missing man. AND THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. (Greg Maclennan)
Hired by moneylenders, a man lives as a loan shark brutally threatening people for paybacks. Without any family therefore with nothing to lose, he continues his merciless way of life regardless of all the pain he has caused to a countless number of people. One day, a woman appears claiming to be his mother. He coldly rejects her at first, but gradually accepts her into his life. He decides to quit his cruel line of work and to live a decent life. Then, suddenly, his mother is kidnapped. Assuming that it would be by someone he had hurt in the past, he starts to track down all the people he'd harassed. The man finally finds the very person, only to discover most horrifying dark secrets are better left unrevealed. Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2012 Venice Film Festival.
SING-ALONG: Best-of 2012
As we welcome 2013, we will sing-along to the greatest music videos that 2012 had to offer. We'll hit every song that you've heard two billion times on the radio and watched at least five times on YouTube. While that may sound annoying to some, you and I both know that alcohol makes those songs super fun again. Singing at the top of your lungs with a theater full of strangers is the best way to say, "Oh yeah, that song is kind of fun. Let's sing it really loud tonight and then NEVER LISTEN TO IT AGAIN!" So join us for one last celebration of 2012 and say hello to Ke$ha's gold tooth, Nicki Minaj's ridiculous outfits, Carly Rae Jepsen's bangs, Psy's crazy antics and more. If you pay any attention to pop culture at all, you'll definitely see those things again. But they'll be in a new year so they'll be super fresh again! (Henri Mazza)
Dolph Springer (Reno 911's Jack Plotnick) awakens one morning to find he has lost the sole love of his life - his dog, Paul. Desperate to reunite with his best friend and to set things right, Dolph embarks on a journey which spirals into the realm of the absurd. On his quest, he drastically alters the lives of several severely bizarro characters, including a promiscuous pizza delivery girl (Entourage's Alexis Dziena), a mentally unstable, jogging-addicted neighbor, an opportunistic French-Mexican gardener, an eccentric pet detective (Steve Little of HBO's Eastbound And Down) and most mysterious of all, an enigmatic pony-tailed guru, Master Chang (William Fichtner) who imparts his teachings to Dolph on how to metaphysically reconnect with his pet. From fearless cinematic surrealist Quentin Dupieux, the director behind the head-exploding RUBBER, WRONG is a wholly original and hilariously hallucinatory universe all its own.


text: LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Jefferson County grand jury has indicted a Louisville hot dog vendor on a murder charge in a suspected case of road rage. The circuit court clerk's office says 67-year-old Donald Hayes was indicted Tuesday and charged with killing 57-year-old Danny Wilson on June 21. Police believe the men, who were driving separate vehicles, got into an altercation and pulled into a parking lot, where Wilson was gunned down. Hayes operates a hot dog stand near the Jefferson County and Louisville government buildings.

Winter Hospitality Overflow program
When: Through March 31.
Where: St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Orchards and St. Paul Lutheran Church in downtown Vancouver.
Guests: St. Paul has room for 24 single men. St. Andrew has 50 beds for families, couples and single women.
Why: The program exists because there is not enough shelter for all homeless people in Clark County.
Needs: C-Tran bus passes, hygiene items, socks, underwear, gloves, money and volunteers.
Contact: Coordinator Kevin Hiebert at 360-699-5106, ext. 103, or visit Winter Hospitality Overflow.
(Zachary Kaufman/The Columbian)
It was 27 degrees at 6:30 p.m. Sunday when Geri Hiller opened the doors of St. Paul Lutheran Church and invited 30 homeless men to come in from the cold.
There are beds for 24; six would have to sleep on the floor.
No one complained. There was hot food to eat. Hot showers. And warmth from the evening's hosts.
For 10 years now, St. Paul has been one of two churches to host the Winter Hospitality Overflow, an effort to provide more beds in Clark County from November through March.
Hiller, a member of St. Paul, has been a volunteer for that decade.
"I didn't expect to like the guys as well as I do," Hiller said Sunday night before she greeted the men. "This has become my passion." Many of the men call her "Mom."
Carrie Wiman, a caseworker with Share, educates the men on services available. She wants to help them get jobs and their own places.
"Every single one of these guys has a different story," Wiman said. She said many had hard labor jobs earlier in their lives and "have literally worn out their bodies."
She echoed Hiller's words when saying, "They're so appreciative."
The men range in age from 18 to 62, and Wiman said hygiene items provided are coveted.
One man "said he hadn't had a toothbrush in a month."
"I'm grateful for this place," Franco Greco, 49, said as he dined on stew and salad. "Been on the street four years now."
Greco said he has done underground excavation work and hopes a job is in his future.
He has no family but said, "There is hope. Hope in Jesus. … He doesn't want me to give up. He's got something good for me down the pike."
Born and raised in Spokane, William Hern, 55, was happy to be at St. Paul on Sunday night.
"This place is great," he said. He said he has been on the street for two years.
"I want a job," Hern said. "I'd like to get trained for auto body. Right now, I'd take any job."
The WHO program relies on volunteers, many of them from area churches.
On Sunday, Dan and Jan Younce were helping out. They attend Vancouver First Friends Church. Dan has been volunteering for seven years, Jan for four.
"Christ has asked me to serve," Dan said. "You wouldn't know they are homeless. They're like you and me."
"These guys are so nice," Jan said, noting she started volunteering "almost out of guilt." Jan is a teacher at Camas High School and Dan is a bus driver for Vancouver Public Schools.
The Rev. Chris Nolte of St. Paul said that at first his congregation was hesitant about hosting homeless men every night for five months. Not anymore.
"We do it because people need shelter," Nolte said. "They also need to be welcomed … to let then know they're not alone.
"We care," he said.
Nolte said "about 50 communities of faith" ensure the program thrives.
In fact, the stew Sunday night was made by a couple who once were homeless.
In 2011, the program had 1,700 volunteers, said Kevin Hiebert, WHO coordinator.
"WHO serves a desperate need we have in the winter," Hiebert said. "This season has been filled to capacity on numerous nights."

Russell at the double to rescue a point for high-flying Nuthall
Posted: November 13, 2012|
PREMIER leaders Nuthall had to fight back three times to force a draw with Green Dragon.
The visitors forged ahead inside the first six minutes as Josh Haskey fired home but the lead only lasted for 15 minutes, as Ryan Johnson retaliated.
Matt Lucas gave Dragon a half-time cushion but it was the hosts that were first to respond after the break with Aaron Russell equalising, only for Lucas to fire the Hucknall outfit ahead for a third time.
However, Russell then netted again to salvage a point.
T8's took advantage of this lapse to go within a point of the leaders with a game in hand by overcoming local rivals Plough Barfly's 3-1. Andy Start (2) and an own goal did the trick.
The surprise scoreline was at Gedling, who had Marek Vipond, James Allen, Daniel Elliott, Anthony Gregory and Jordan Lynch on target to put Clumber to the sword.
It leaves the champions with a mountain to climb to lift a trophy this term after four consecutive silverware laden seasons, following their exit from the cup last week.Wes Burke snatched the consolation for the visitors.
Two goals from Leon Aikman and one each to Eugene Francis and Tristan Spencer saw Trentside into third spot following a 4-0 success at the expense of Old Colonial, while SPS Training and Carlton Top Spot drew to remain toward the foot of the table with Ashley Whitt netting for the former and Ben Brastin retaliating.
WITH the top two in Premier One without a fixture, Robin Hood took full advantage to move second with an 8-3 win at Nottingham Rangers.
For the first hour it was nip and tuck with Adam Sinnott (2) and Matt Gamble on target for Rangers and Garry Fountain, Andy Broady and Luke Smithson keeping the scores level. But the visitors then pulled away and Fountain, Broady and Smithson scored again along with Matt Hayes and Dale Lawton to give a lopsided look to a well-contested clash.
Two goals from Harry Simpson and one from Paul Nicholas enabled Loft in Space to leapfrog Portland Arms HH.
THERE was a full fixture list in Premier Two, where The Crown Inn extended their advantage.
A Keiran Miles hat-trick and efforts from Jermaine Ward and Connor Croft proved more than enough to see off Wolds AFC, who countered through Aaron Large.
Second-placed The Masons were held at Premiere Travel, with Michael Morrell, Jake Bennett and Keiran Shortland notching for the hosts and Jake Hinchcliffe (2) and Ashley Dobb levelling the outcome.
East Leake Bantams stay third despite losing to a late own goal to Burton Joyce 'A'.
Sam Dunstan hit a hat-trick for the home side, who looked to have gained a point with goals from Sam Smith, Liam Beatty and an own goal.
Edwalton picked up their first win of the campaign after going two up in the first 20 minutes through Rob McGuigan and Matt Fisher. McGuigan netted his second before Omari Sadler struck a late but deserved consolation.
County NALGO were left still searching for their first points of the season following Rempstone's six-goal romp, with a triple from Matt Jelley, complimenting efforts from Ed Collins, Sam Jackson and Dan Jelley, whilst Steve Smith pulled a solitary goal back.
THERE was an epic battle at the head of Premier Three where leaders East Bridgford Rangers lost their 100 per cent record in the local derby against East Bridgford.
Chris Galloway's four goal feast, supported by single strikes from Jason Elliott and Connor Ferguson sealed the victory, with Ben Castell netting a brace and Matt Stevenson in reply.
Heath Hill were made to fight all the way for their 4-2 home win over Crusader. The hosts went 1-0 down early as Aaron Burdett struck but retaliated to go 2-1 up with goals from Michael Davey and Ugiagba.
Crusader replied through Perry Foster to make it all square before new signing Nick Clay lobbed the visitors goalkeeper from 35 yards out to re-establish the lead and then increased the advantage through Steve Parr with ten minutes left.
Ark Athletic recorded their first win of the campaign with a fine 5-2 success over Medina thanks to strikes from Matt Taylor and Nathan Davies with two apiece and Neil Grantham the other, countered by a Romaine Dowell brace.
Marcus Young's hat-trick added to by Wayne Jones gave Bilborough Rangers a 4-1 win over Trent Bridgford Tigers, whose only goal came from Alex Kerr. Goals from Pat Hookes, Luke Reynolds and Chris Whittaker contributed to The Castle Inn's 3-1 win over Beeston Biz Reserves, replied to by Alistair Claxton.
IN the Premier Section KO Cup, Wollaton Pirates won 3-1 at The Arrow, with Francesco Labbate, Rikki Turner and Roy Killeavy netting.

Since it's debut in 2005 the Slingbox has been the definitive place-shifting option. It lets you watch and control your TV when you're away from home just like you're sitting in your living room. The latest Slingbox is smaller, cheaper and easier to use.
The Slingbox M1 is a little black box that sits among your entertainment gear. On the back you'll find an Ethernet port and composite and component inputs and outputs. There is no HDMI support on the M1 which is likely due to the complicated copyright protections that are being built into HDMI. None the less, a component connection still provides an HD signal that looks great.
What you notice by looking at the M1 is that it has a built-in wi-fi connection. Finally you can use a Slingbox without having to run Ethernet cable to it. Also, there is an infrared transmitter built into the box to control your cable box. You'll also get a IR transmitter cable just in case your cable box is on another shelf but in most cases you'll be able to control your cable box without running this extra cable. Nice touch.
Previous Slingboxes had very loud designs but the M1 will disappear into your entertainment setup. As our cable boxes get smaller this makes sense and it looks sleek.
There are also big changes to the way you setup the Slingbox. Previously it was a somewhat complicated process that had to be done via the software on your PC. Now, you can do the entire thing on your smartphone or tablet. The software will detect the M1's wireless signal and guide you through the process of connecting it to your home network, selecting the proper cable equipment and setting up the software. It took me about 5 minutes to go through the entire process on my Android phone. I've been testing the Slingbox hardware since it launched and this is, by far, the easiest Slingbox setup yet.
Using Slingbox
Using the Slingbox M1 is simple. Load up the app on your smartphone, tablet or PC and use the on-screen controls to control your TV as if you were sitting in front of it. The video can look outstanding with a fast broadband connection on your device and at your home. As the connection weakens, expect the video to get worse. Most home broadband connections and smartphone 4G connections will work just fine. You'll also notice that controlling your cable box will be much more responsive on a faster connection. Once the stream starts it seems to get better as it goes on. Clearly the Slingbox is using technology to improve and adapt the signal as you stream.
On the desktop apps you'll see a remote that looks exactly like the one you hold in your hand while sitting on your couch. This makes it super simple to use since you likely already know which buttons do what. The limited screen space on your mobile devices means that you'll be forced to deal with remote buttons surrounding the screen. There really is no other way to do this but it can be confusing until you get used to the layout.
In the end, watching TV via Sling is an easy and enjoyable experience. The delayed response can be slow when navigating channels or menus but once you get the video stream going, it's looks great.
Get ready to pay… twice
After you buy the Slingbox you'd think you'd be done shelling out cash but think again. Sling will let you download the desktop app for Windows and Mac free from their site but the mobile apps will each cost $15. I wish this wasn't the case. None the less, just make sure you factor that into the cost of the Slingbox.
Do I need a Slingbox?
This is the magic question. Streaming video services like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu are better than ever before so your favorite shows may already be available on your phone or tablet. On top of that, many cable boxes including the Dish Hopper from Sling's parent company already include streaming technology. So some people may not need a Slingbox. On the other hand, many cable companies offer only limited streaming of certain channels or certain shows. The Slingbox gives you full, unfiltered access to everything you get at home. You can also use the Slingbox with your AppleTV, Roku or other set-top box. You'll have to decide if there's a hole in your mobile streaming options that needs to be filled by a Slingbox. Slingbox gives you the "just like you're in front of your TV" experience that many cable companies refuse to provide.
The Slingbox M1 is easily one of the best Slingboxes to date and it doesn't hurt that it's the least expensive one yet.

Plettenberg Bay is commonly regarded as the jewel of South Africa's Garden Route region. It's more than a village, less than a town. Plettenberg Bay is tranquil and charming, hospitable and rather special. Originally and rightly christened "Bahia Formosa" (beautiful bay) by early Portuguese explorers Plettenberg Bay, or simply Plett to the locals, can be accessed by first class national roads, by sea or by scheduled air flights.
For Accommodation in Garden Route Plettenberg Bay please click > here <
Plettenberg Bay is characterised by sweeping, unspoilt golden beaches, a dramatic rocky peninsula, intriguing lagoons and estuaries, lush indigenous forest and unpolluted rivers and sea. With its exceptional climate, breathtaking scenery and beautiful views over the Indian Ocean, Plettenberg Bay is perfect for tourists interested in exploring, watching or just lazing.
Plettenberg Bay is home to the rare Knysna forest elephant, teaming wildlife, vast expanses of Cape flora, delicate ecosystems in wetlands and lagoons, gigantic trees, and a bay large enough for the great whales of the Southern Ocean to calve in and protect their young.
An hour's scenic drive from George Airport and two hours from Port Elizabeth Airport, Plettenberg Bay and environs stretches from Harkerville through to Nature's Valley and Storms River, some 80km along the N2 national road that connects Cape Town in the Western Cape to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape.Be inspired by Plettenberg Bay with its abundance of unique tourist attractions and endless stretches of unspoiled golden beaches – excellent year-round land-based and water-based activities.
Plettenberg Marine Environment
More than 100 species of fish are known to occur along this coast. Fish found on the reefs are highly susceptible to exploitation and marine reserves play an important part in restocking overfished areas.
Some of the finest soft coral reefs in the world are found here with sponges, starfish and many shellfish including our unique Pansy Shell.Common marine animals are dolphins, whales and seals. During winter months the spectacular Southern Right Whales are resident in our bay when they arrive up from the southern oceans to calve.
Fynbos and Flowers
The small Cape Floral Kingdom between Cape Town and Grahamstown (0.04% of the world's land mass) contains 8500 different flowering plants. This is more than is found in the Entire Northern Hemisphere. There are 27 common species of Ericas in this area, a great many wild proteas and an extensive list of geophytes.
Although the largest tract of natural forests in South Africa, only 65 000Ha of the original forests remain today. The Outeniqua yelowwood or kalander is a true forest giant reaching over 50m in height. Other magnificent specimens are the ironwood and stinkwood trees. Our forests also harbor many species of ferns including the seven week fern, prolific in the Tsitsikamma area, as well as a profusion of colourful lichens on rocks and trees and many species of mushrooms.
Plettenberg Bay Climate
Plettenberg Bay is famous as one of the most beautiful resort areas in South Africa,enjoying one of the world's mildest and most temperate climates in winter and summer, with over 300 sunshine days a year. It also boasts warm sea temperatures and less wind than many other coastal resorts.
Flanked on three sides by the magnificent Tsitsikamma mountains and the Indian Ocean to the East we are surrounded by lush indigenous forests.
The peninsula of Robberg extends some 4 km eastwards into the sea and acts as our natural barrier against the prevailing winds. Just a few kilometers away the rainfall doubles, providing perfect conditions for the wide variety of indigenous flora and fauna found there.
