A voice of reason....
So consider this my disclaimer...I am a wolverine since birth, some of my greatest memories are of me and family (grandfather alum) at some of the greatest UM games ever (Orange Bowl 2000, UM vs Nuts 100th game, UM vs PSU last second win, as well as numerous hockey and bball games ....and so on)..But it just so happens i am in my senior year at the REAL UT, home of the Vols. It seems that everyone is having a pretty good time with our young firecracker of a coach we got down here, and i couldnt be happier!!!! It's about damn time somebody grew some balls around here and awoke this monster...Take the stupid comments and make a nice collage or something cuz thats about all their good for....What you seem to be missing is the assembly of some of the finest coaches and recruiters in college football, with proven track records, which single handedly stole 5 star Janzen Jackson from LSU,as well as Nu'keese and Teague from UF, not to mention 4-5 star Darren Myles. Guaranteed KIffin will win more than three games his debut season, (i love RR..i promise) despite our QB situation, our D will be sick nasty along with a stable of running backs. And if the Vols and Wolves played on a neutral field, Eric Berry would have three picks and two touchdowns in a violent 21-20 slug fest..best DB in college since Woodson and should have won the Thorpe as a Soph..(fuckin Jenkins? what a joke)
Both teams are on their way....UT vs UM Nat Title 2011?
Mock Away Uniforms, Throwback and Otherwise
Alright... so some of you may or may not have been part of the discussion this weekend concerning the possibility of an away jersey re-design. Since Carr had already made the order long before RichRod was hired, he had no control... and in light of the abysmal season, the conversation was that he might want to revamp the away shirts. It then became an even bigger discussion about maize jerseys, blue pants, and white on white uniforms for the maize-and-blue (that sentence alone speaks volumes).
Of course, it was at that point that I went all Jerry Maguire and tore into a mission statement-esque rant about how we must adhere to tradition. At the end of my post (go into my recent blog entries if you missed it), I suggested that we go back to the Harbaugh 80's rendition of the away jersey, featuring one-color numbers and contrasting Northwestern stripes. For those not familiar with the term, NW striping refers to the pattern of thin-thick-thin originally worn by the Wildcats in the 50's, and most of you if you wore socks in the 80's. Here it is:
But I then offered the possibility that I might create some illustrations on how we could go back to that design as a sort of throwback, and I've done just that. My idea was to create a rendition of that same design on a current uniform template, complete with shorter sleeves, form-fitting fabric template, and of course, the Adidas logo. For the sake of updating, I used the #5 instead of 4 as recognition of Forcier's upcoming uniform-- quarterback of the future, etc. Note to any uniform design enthusiasts out there-- notice that I designed the uniform with both the pants and helmet together, since we're talking about a uniform design, not just a jersey design. Too often I think teams focus on the shirts too much, then when you pair it with the helmet it looks like crap. It's all about continuity.
So the first row here shows an updated throwback design, complete with an alternate version that incorporates a small block "M" in the stripe in blue. Of the two, I really like the first, without the block M. I'd be totally HAPPY with this on our boys-- the simplicity, the implied history. I also realized what I like the most about the 80's design is the single color number-- i.e. no maize stroke around the numbers. I think it looks clean and strong, and ties back to the home jersey. Ever bother anyone else that the home has one color numbers while the away has two?
I then went ahead and created a totally new design, as if my wildest professional dream came true and Bill Martin approached me to design Michigan's away jersey. After some deliberation, it made perfect sense to me to keep the same numbers, but the question was, "What about the sleeves?" I played around with a few ideas before ultimately settling on a wide navy stripe with curved maize perpendicular strokes... obviously a throwback to the helmet motif. I followed up this idea with an alternate that features a contrasting block M above the shoulders. Of these two, I'd probably still choose the one without the block 'M'. I love uniforms with logos on shoulders etc., because they leave no doubt about who the shirt belongs to-- but I just don't think the design needs it.
So keep in mind that none of this is official, no word has emerged that the uniforms will be changed in any way, and this is totally just for fun. But thought that you guys might get a kick out of these ideas, throwback or otherwise.
GO BLUE... as in MAIZE & BLUE.
Whence All the Receivers?
Where are all these receivers coming from?
Many have noticed, and begun commenting, on Rich Rodriguez's apparent stockpiling of receivers. This has been addressed a bit by Brian on the recruiting board, but I thought I'd go into a little more depth to explain why every RR is building up bodies at the position.
The depth chart looks awful large. Once the 2010 commitments step on campus, the receiver corps will include Martavious Odoms, Terrance Robinson, Jeremy Gallon, Darryl Stonum, Junior Hemingway, JeRon Stokes, Roy Rountree, Thomas Gordon, Ricardo Miller, Toney Clemons, Jeremy Jackson, James Rogers, Jerald Robinson, and likely Justin Feagin. That's 14 receivers, with only Clemons in his final year. And don't forget there's still four scholarship players, Kevin Koger, Brandon Moore, Martell Webb and Steve Watson, at tight end. That's 18 pairs of hands to feed. How is he going to do it?
Rodriguez's offense, is, of course, different than that previously used at Michigan. One important distinction is the position of Slot Receiver. RR likes to have a scat-back type of player here with a slightly different skill set than your prototypical wideout. Size and leaping ability are secondary for a slot receiver to speed and agility. Circus catches aren't as necessary, since most routes are short. The slot is meant to catch the ball in space, then make defenders miss. Odoms, Terrance Robinson, Jeremy Gallon, and, if he moves, Feagin fit this mold. Last year, Odoms pretty much dominated this spot, but that's not typical of RR's West Virginia offenses. Rather, Odoms got so many balls because once Robinson went down, he was the only man standing. Starting next year, I think you're going to see a two-man rotation in the slot, with another man always ready to go for depth at an injury-magnet position.
TIGHT ENDs
In case this recruiting season didn't clue you in, Rich Rodriguez is phasing out the Tight End position. I imagine, so long as he has Koger, the position will remain in the offense quite regularly through 2011. But come 2012, I wouldn't be surprised to see just one or two Tight Ends on the roster for a change of pace, or goal-line situations.
That leaves Stonum, Hemingway, Stokes, Rountree, Gordon, Miller, Clemons, Jackson, Rogers, and J. Robinson. For one, we can imagine Gordon moving to linebacker, although this isn't a given; since he was offered as a receiver, and unlike Feagin there hasn't been mention from the coaches as to a positional change, I'm gonna consider him part of the receiver corps.
That gives us 10 pure receivers on the 2010 roster, all of them options. First of all, you'll see some redshirts on some 2010 freshmen, probably J. Robinson and Jackson. Now we have eight. Eight is still a lot. And eight is actually what we'll need!
Rodriguez's offense at W.Va. was mostly about the run, particularly once the astounding legs of White and Slaton and Devine arrived. But I'm going to postulate, based on the recruiting focus since he got here, that plans are to make the passing game a greater part of the expected offensive output.
The formation I believe we'll see more and more from Rodriguez will be the one-back, 4-wide. This includes a slot, and three wideouts. In a running-based spread, the wideouts head out on routes designed to open up space for the tailback, quarterback or slot receiver to function in. So long as they are all threats 1-on-1, they have to be guarded.
But other programs that use the spread have done a better job incorporating receivers. Brian commented this year that it sometimes seems like the receivers were running random routes – anything to get the secondary away from the ball. This was highly ineffective, especially since we didn't have a quarterback who could get the ball to these guys.
I trust Brian in most things, but from everything I've seen of RR, if his receiving scheme was basically saying "get open," then it wasn't by design so much as he had other areas to focus on.
This year, you can't fault RR if the passing game wasn't his primary focus. New team, new scheme, yada yada, but the talent really wasn't there. Threet didn't have enough time to pick apart a defense, nor was the redshirt freshman prepared by experience to fully utilize their talents. There wasn't a true go-to receiver as we've had in past years. Greg Mathews was the most trustworthy pair of hands. After that, Stonum was a true freshman and played like one. Hemingway had mono. Roundtree was waiting for his muscles to grow onto his 6'3 frame. Clemons had catching issues.
There's a progression formula I've been using to determine a player's expected growth in value to the team:
Adjusted Star Rating * [1/2(years-in-school / years-in-school-plus-1)] plus (Adjusted Star Rating / 1.6)
(The "Adjusted" part means I change their star rating once we see them on the field. For recruits, I just use their star rating.)
Bigger jumps occur earlier in a player's career. What we end up with is a level of expected performance based on their talent and their year, which is roughly equivalent to the familiar star rating system. A 2.00 player is what you'd expect for a typical starter at Indiana or Northwestern. A 3.00 player is a typical starter at Purdue or Michigan State. A 4.00 player is what you'd expect from a 4-star recruit in his 4th season. Over 4.50 is an All-Big Ten performer. Over 5.00 is a 1st round draft pick.
Here's the receivers RR had available to him in 2008:
G. Mathews – 3.83
J. Hemingway – 3.50 (out for season)
D. Stonum – 2.81
T. Clemons – 2.63
Z. Babb – 2.63
R. Roundtree – 2.50 (redshirted)
L. Savoy – 2.50
J. Rogers – 2.19
Even though there's talent there, it's young talent. For Big Ten, that's average. For Michigan, it's mediocre.
Here's projected 2009:
G. Mathews – 4.00
D. Stonum – 3.94
J. Hemingway – 3.83
R. Roundtree – 3.50
T. Clemons – 2.88
J. Stokes – 2.81
L Savoy – 2.56
C. Gordon – 2.50
J. Rogers – 2.40
That's a huge difference. Your top three guys are expected to perform at or near what you'd expect from a senior 4-star recruit, whereas last year we had one guy near that level, and the next was below average.
From here, it's all uphill.
D. Stonum – 4.31
J. Hemingway – 4.00
J. Stokes – 4.00
R. Roundtree – 3.83
C. Gordon – 3.50
R. Miller – 3.13
T. Clemons – 3.00
J. Jackson – 2.81
J. Rogers – 2.50
J. Robinson – 2.19
D. Stonum – 4.50
J. Hemingway – 4.10
R. Miller – 4.38
J. Stokes – 4.31
R. Roundtree – 4.00
J. Jackson – 3.94
C. Gordon – 3.83
J. Robinson – 3.06
And if you think that's the only part of the passing game that will improve, look at what happens to our quarterback rating in that time:
2008: Threet/Sheridan – 2.27
2009: Threet/(Forcier/Robinson) – 2.69
2010: Forcier or Robinson – 3.50
2011: Forcier or Robinson – 3.83
The offensive line, too, will see a marked progression from about 3.20 to 4.20.
So in the years to come, Michigan is going to be stocked at receiver. In the 2011-2012 seasons, it is very conceivable, barring major transfers and losses, that RR will have at least four and as many as seven superb options at wideout. There will be a considerably better quarterback, protected by a considerably better offensive line. Is all this talent really just for show, or is there something more?
I have to imagine that Rich Rod knows what he has at these positions, and that Devin Gardner (who, if his 5-star is for real, would surpass Forcier or Robinson by 2011), is being made aware of it. The question remains, however, how do you utilize all of it.
The answer is a Spread and Shoot.
Look at the roster for Texas Tech's Air Raid offense:
16 guys.
Missouri, too, had 16 receivers. Texas carried a ton. Florida and Northwestern had 'em coming out of their ears. And note that Michigan actually carried 19 on the roster last year, though nine of those were non-scholly walk-ons.
Oklahoma, who uses a more Pro-Style offense, had considerably fewer.
Now, the spread has at most five receivers on the field. But in order to keep using the entire down-field as a threat, it's never the same guys. They rotate...a lot! For Michigan this year, however, the rotation wasn't there. If you sent Mathews and Stonum running in circles for five plays, you'd end up with Babb and Rogers. If I'm an opposing defense, and I've got to cover James Rogers down field, with Sheridan under center, then hell, I'm gluing a 3-star cornerback to him and telling the safeties it's backfield hunting season.
If RR has any specific plans for this kind of team, I imagine those plans are more vertical than anything college football has seen for awhile, and well more than anything we've imagined.
Most teams today – and we saw a lot under Lloyd – send a man on a deep route as a matter of course. But there's a drawback – if you're sending your Super Mario deep every play, he's going to either let up on the gas, or wear himself out in three plays.
Go try sprinting 45 to 60 yards downfield, juking and turning various angles. Now hustle back to your starting point, and do it again. Repeat six times. Have someone whack you or knock you down a few times while you're at it.
Two things will become apparent very quickly:
(1) Darryl Stonum is in much better shape than you, and
(2) huff....huff .... huff ..... there .... is. ....no...... huff ..... f'in .... way ...... someone ..... can ...... do ..... this ... huff .... 26 times in a row!
(the Barwis pit is over there, by the way. Help yourself)
I didn't even ask you to out-jump someone and catch a pass.
What these spread offenses do a lot of is substitute. In a year with mediocre talent at receiver, horrible talent at quarterback, and a marked and stated preference for the running game, Rich Rod had 15 players catch a ball last year. Of course, many of these are running backs. So here's another stat: James Rogers, the 8th man on the wide receiver depth chart, appeared in 9 games. Zion Babb was in 6. LaTerryal Savoy caught four passes all year, but lined up at receiver for 11 of the 12 games. Two safeties and three cornerbacks also lined up for the offense at times.
Those are slightly above what you'd expect from a Lloyd Carr team. But that's a lot of receiver substitution for a team starting a walk-on QB and his noodly appendage.
They're also, by the way, WAY above what you'd expect from a Rich Rodriguez team, too. Clemson under RR utilized half as many receivers. Tulane spread the ball less as well. And West Virginia, as legend tells, was the runniest of the runny.
Yes, and you can't get Ricardo Millers to go to any of those schools, either.
In his previous gigs, Rich Rodriguez was very good at maximizing offensive output by maximizing certain positions. This is great at a school where you have to make recruiting decisions early and often. W.Va. can have a big season and be a player in the national dual-threat QB sweepstakes, but they were never going to be the kind of school that's on every kid's list in the country before they even get a call. RR didn't come here to turn Michigan into West Virginia. RR came here to further his career, to do better than he did at West Virginia. There's not much further you can go with the running game than he had with Devine and Pat White. What's wrong with imagining that he actually has designs on creating college football's ultimate offense?
The offense, I think, is going to make considerable more use of its receivers every year between now and 2012. The plan, as I see it, is to not just spread the field horizontally with a 4-wide alignment, but spread it vertically by having at least two receivers who can't be left one-on-one going deep into the secondary on every play. It's Terrell and Walker all over again, except while Stonum and Hemingway catch their breath, Ricardo Miller, JeRon Stokes and Roy Roundtree are doing the damage. Even if the ball doesn't go that way, the simple necessity of covering multiple deep threats will keep the safeties back, and open up some space for the slot receivers, the crossing routes, and, of course, the slippery quarterbacks and smurfs-with-jetpacks running backs.
It makes too much sense not to. It's the purest ideal of the spread, only realized here because Michigan can actually get enough talent so that the 4th or 5th receiver on the depth chart is worth double coverage. It's the perfect marriage of the tried-and-true Lloyd Carr concept of maximizing talent differential, with the Rich Rodriguez ideal of making the defense cover the entire field, then beating them with speed and specialty-type players.
That's why, at least in my opinion, Rich Rodriguez has stockpiled so much talent at the Wide Receiver position.
That, and because if you're after a 2010 or 2011 5-star quarterback, already being stocked with targets for him makes an awfully good selling point.
But that still doesn't mean they're going to all be wracking up 1,000 yards. To that, I recommend reviewing the comments these guys made when they signed. They're not "I'm going there to be the next Braylon Edwards." If there's a theme to any of it, it's "this program is on the way up and I want to be a part of it!" He's getting guys who want to win championships; okay, every guy wants to win championships -- but he's getting guys who are picking their school based on where they think they can win championships.
And if you ask me, I believe RR thinks that way too.
Beilein and Parker notes from Michigan at UCONN
I was one of several Michigan alumni who had the opportunity to speak with Coach Beilein and Senior Associate Athletic Director Joe Parker before the Michigan v. UCONN game in Storrs on Saturday. The alumni association tried very hard to make the experience enjoyable for alumni on the East Coast. We basically took over the only hotel on campus and owned the hotel bar for pre and post game activities. The hotel gave Michigan a conference room to gather, and treated us fairly well. I got there very early and got to meet the coach in the lobby at around noon. I was fairly psyched.
Here are a few items which came up, (some in the forum - some in the Bar) and general impressions:
• Parker, got hit with many tough questions and was honestly a class-act in his answers - both in the hotel forum and in the bar.
• Parker was asked about the scheduling of Delaware State and was fairly frank in his answer, stating that each home game is 4 million in revenue and DSU only needed to be paid aprox. $300,000 to come to the big house. One alumni kept hitting him on this issue, (props) but Parker intimated that in the BCS era Michigan was not looking to schedule a 1-and-1 with someone who had a small stadium, and that he felt Notre dame was a quality non conference opponent.
• Parker noted two future football plans. A plan "in the works" to get an east coast game at a large neutral site run by Michigan in the next five years, which would generate revenue similar to a home game, and a current initiative by the big ten to explore adding an additional big ten game.
• The president of the Mass area alumni chapter spilled a drink on Parker as Beline entered the room.
• Beilein noted that Michigan did not have much time to prepare for UCONN because he gave the team Friday off, which led to only one practice coming in.
• Beilein would not comment on recruiting.
• In response to a fan question, Beilein discussed players going pro and how he handles the situation. His response was rather rehearsed, except he noted that he discourages players from "testing the water" stating that his advice is to make the decision to leave and stay with it.
• I think Beilein is good coach. That said, Beilein was not overly optimistic before the game, and while I thought he was well spoken, I left the conference room wishing he had not said his goal was to prevent it "getting out of hand early."
• The alumni made an attempt to do a victors walk to the bus for the players, but the players came down the elevator in groups of three and, it was not very successful.
• I expected more from the UCONN student section given they have the #1 Team. The MAIZE RAGE is far more spirited
Re: the criticism of in-state recruiting
So, recently, there has been a lot of gibberish about Rich Rod's in-state recruiting, or lack thereof, the general grumbling being that he is abandoning the homegrown kids in exchange for those wild speed freaks from down south. Perhaps this is true, but only insofar as Rodriguez isn't beholden to players from the state of Michigan if they don't fit his needs. He has the luxury, as the coach of a big time program, to go outside his state or region in order to try to recruit talent to his school.
Now, the thing that many seem to be overlooking here is that Michigan's recruiting efforts haven't been dominated by in-state kids for a while now. Digging into the Rivals database, this has been the in-state haul over the last eight recruiting classes:
2009 - 4
2008 - 5
2007 - 5
2006 - 4
2005 - 6
2004 - 6
2003 - 6
2002 - 10
With the exception of 2002, this year's recruiting class, in terms of in-state players anyway, isn't that much different from what Michigan normally hauls in. And let's not forget that this year, Michigan landed the number one player in the state in William Campbell.
I think where people are getting antsy is in looking at Michigan State's class and seeing seven of the Rivals top ten in the state heading to East Lansing. Okay, fair enough, but one year does not a trend make. This year's recruiting class is likely going to be a bit of an anomaly when you consider that Rich Rodriguez just took over in January of 2008, had to work double time to get last year's class firmed up, and was probably behind the eight ball when it came to developing relationships with many of the state's high school coaches. This will likely change, and the balance within the state will probably normalize. It might not go back to exactly the way it was, but some differences are to be expected with a new coaching staff, particularly one that has preexisting relationships with high school coaches in other parts of the country. To not utilize those in some grand gesture towards provincialism would be asinine.
Michigan's recruiting efforts don't seem to be that far out of line with how they were under Lloyd Carr. I'm not going to worry about State's class or their success in the state because it's one year, and because Rodriguez or Michigan can't really control how State recruits. In 2007, of the Rivals top ten players in the state, only one chose Michigan, but only one chose State. Eight of them went out of state. That was one year. The next year, seven of the top ten stayed in state, four of them to Michigan, three of them to MSU.
Simply put, Michigan has often times looked out of the state for what they needed. This year is no different.
Robinson and Forcier, My Take
After watching the film of both of these guys, I was totally impressed with their skills at the HS level and I wouldn't be surprised if Robinson really pushes Forcier for the starter's spot. Robinson really has great passing skills and his mechanics are excellent for someone billed as a dual threat QB, but recruited by some to play defense. Forcier is no slouch in his mechanics nor his accuracy either.
If you watch the film on Robinson and focus on his footwork and mechanics when he's not running the ball, his release reminds me of Peyton Manning. Seriously, he has a high snap release just like Manning and their footwork is similar. Robinson almost always sets his feet and squares his shoulders to his target and then delivers the ball with that high release point. If you compare his film to T Pryor, Robinson is a much better passer and much more polished. You can tell Robinson has been coached well. If you factor in his speed and running ability, he's more of the QB that RR has had success with in recent years. I can't say enough how impressive his skills are as a passer. Watch the film again for yourself and watch the footwork and the release.
Tate is a little more of a scrambler than a runner, but he definitely a very accurate passer both standing in the pocket and on the run. He also has good fundamentals, but Robinson was more disciplined in his delivery and set up than Tate, but the end result was the same. It ain't broke don't fix it. I think Tate can kill you with his arm and he can also extend plays with his legs, which in a spread offense really puts pressure on the defense to cover longer. I would give an edge to Tate in his accuracy but arm strength was not noticeably different between the two. Both of them forced the ball at times in the face of pressure, but show me a QB that doesn't do that to some degree at that level.
I think we have two great QBs in these recruits and the future looks really bright. Threet has the experience, but I just don't see how he can keep these two guys off the field. Tate will get 19-20 practices in the spring so he'll have a leg up on Robinson, but by the mid point of the season he should see some snaps if he can digest the offense and adapt to the speed of the game. Both of these young guys will see the blitz early and often IMO. If Forcier can be enough of a running threat and can take the pounding of the Big Ten then we'll see more of RR's offense than we have to this point.
I still think we're a .500 team +/- a game due to the other questions on the team, but if these guys can come in and make a difference and the OL can show continued improvement; that number could jump to 7-5 or 8-4. You have to take into account that these guys are true freshman and the team overall will be pretty young, but the future is oh so bright on the offensive side of the ball. I can't remember the last time we had so many exciting guys on the offensive side of the ball. All of the little slot ninjas, minor's power run, brown's speed, big physical receivers, and QBs who have to be accounted for will really open up the field. The biggest wild card on offense is the line, but I've got to think that we've got some depth and some guys who can add to the unit and make a positive contribution. I'm a defensive coach, so I would be very worried having to scout this many play makers and an offense with so many weapons.

If you're not familiar with Calvis Wyant, you probably aren't making enough money to afford one of their homes. They're not only a premiere luxury home builder throughout Arizona, though based in Scottsdale, but they're an award winning company, having twice won the Residential Design & Build Excellence Award (which they won in 2008 in three categories for Custom Home of the Year, Over $2.5 Million), the 2006 MAME (Major Achievements in Marketing Excellence) Custom Home of the Year, Under $2.5 Million, and the 2006 Gold Nugget Award Award of Merit for Best Custom Home, Under 5,000 sq. ft.
Created in 1986, Tony Calvis & Gary Wyant decided they wanted to build customized luxury homes that were also environmentally friendly. Their designs fit the southwestern flavor on the outside, blending elements of both traditional and modern aesthetics. This isn't an organization that puts out a lot of homes in a year; they don't have their own home community. Instead, they've build around 200 homes since their creation, and have homes in some of the top communities around the state, including Phoenix and Scottsdale. Because of the prices of the homes they build, they'll spend months working with a client just on their vision before starting the design, because they want to make sure they build exactly what the client wants.
Their homes are in some of the top communities throughout the state, and every style is unique. If you have a couple of million to spend, Calvis Wyant should easily be near the top of home builders you should check out.

While Twilight and The Hunger Games were sweeping up all kinds of surfboards at last night's Teen Choice Awards, there was at least actress in the audience wondering if she'll be getting up on that stage next year as part of another great young-adult-novel-turned-movie franchise. Well, we're assuming as much. When we caught up with Beautiful Creatures co-star Camille Balsamo she was super excited about the movie, which they just finished shooting in New Orleans. Based on Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's four book series, it's about a boy named Ethan whose life in his boring, Civil War-obsessed town is turned upside down when he meets a mysterious girl named Lena — and he quite literally can't get her out of his head. She and her family are Casters, people who wield all sorts of magical powers, and not necessarily for good. So will fans of the engrossing books be satisfied with the movie?
"I think they'll especially love the casting," Balsamo, who plays Katherine Duchannes, told VH1. "I read the book and I think that the casting is perfect. I think everybody fits their characters to a T and I think they won't be disappointed."
Camille pretty much nailed exactly why Beautiful Creatures has a shot at taking their place next to Twilight, Harry Potter and Hunger Games in our hearts. "I think that so many teenagers can relate to what Lena and Ethan are going through, and even though I'm not a teenager anymore, I still could feel what they were feeling, and I think that's an incredible thing that the book has to offer."

The Russian side have confirmed they have agreed a deal with Everton and the winger is now set to undergo a medical ahead of completing a return to his homeland.
A statement on the club's website read: "Spartak have reached an agreement in principle with the English [club] Everton and 26-year-old midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov for a transfer to our club.
"The contract will be signed after the medical examination."
Bilyaletdinov has failed to make the expected impact at Everton since joining the club in a Ł9million deal from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2009.

Realisation Of A Dream
With the determination of the State Government to physically establish and open the Institute in 1970, some eighty contractors laboured between May and November, 1970, to reconstruct and convert the premises of Mariere College (a Teacher Training College) into the site of the Institute. An Administration Block, a Central Library with a capacity of 30,000 volumes, two blocks consisting of twelve lecture rooms, six laboratories, workshops and offices, a student centre including students' and staff dining rooms, a students' common room and a kitchen were built and four blocks of students' dormitories were reconstructed and converted into students hostels. In addition, a new block of six laboratories and six lecture rooms were completed on what were to become the Iyaro Campus, to accommodate the Institute's Faculty of Science.
On November 23, 1970, the Institute was formally opened and the first batch of 108 students drawn from all parts of the Federation began courses in Science and Mathematics. To quote the words of the first Rector, Professor Glyn Phillips, the establishment of the Institute represented "a dream come true for the people of the Midwest".

Woodford Correctional Centre
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2013)
|Woodford, Queensland
|Security class
Woodford Correctional Centre is an Australian prison facility located in Woodford, Queensland, Australia, approximately 80 kilometres north from Brisbane and 30 kilometres from Caboolture.
It is a high security facility for male prisoners with a capacity of 988 prisoners in single cell accommodation.
Woodford Correctional Centre has a very large industries base with 15 workshops that include manufacturing of furniture, steel products, upholstery, polyethylene rainwater tanks and steel rainwater tanks.
On 1 April 1997, 120 prisoners managed to escape from the secure unit by 'melting' the lexen walls with toasters & other items, making their way to the central officers unit and then going on into the low security residential area where they were joined by hundreds of angry inmates protesting the new prison policy of it being a non-smoking facility. Prisoners were offered a three month supply of nicotine patches costing the Government $42 million. It took several days before the Centre's Custodial Officers and the TRG (tactical response group) finally resumed control. Woodford Correction Centre has since changed its non-smoking policy.
Scott Lawrence Topping, 22, was serving time for $1200 worth of unpaid traffic fines when he was murdered inside Woodford Correctional Centre, Queensland, on 12 September 1997. Topping had three weeks left to serve before his release. He would be the first person to be murdered by inmates in Woodford Correction Centre. The term "One day someone on fines will top themselves" is in reference to the murder of Scott Topping in prison. Mark Day was convicted of strangling 22 year old Scott Topping at Woodford prison. Ironically Mark Day was himself murdered in a prison in 2003.
At the Time of the murder of Scott Topping, the security CCTV systems were not fully operational.

Updated: 03/24/2013 4:35 PM KSTP.com By: Mark Saxenmeyer
Two young sisters in Lakeville are the first people in the upper Midwest to benefit from a new implantable hearing device.
They were both born with defective ear canals that prevent sound from reaching their ear drums.
But now, this revolutionary procedure puts a stop to the silence.
Their names are Claire Differding, 10, and her little sister Julia, 6.
In the Differding home, the sound of music comes at every turn. Clair plays the flute, Julia tickles the ivories on the piano, and their big sister Maddie toots the trumpet.
Their mom Janice is a music teacher. "They've just advanced beautifully in their music," she said.
Yet just a short time ago that wasn't the case. Both Claire and Julia were born with a condition called Microtia Atresia. One ear on each girl was malformed. "There's no hearing on that side," Janice explained. "It's closed."
It's extremely rare. "The doctors told us one in 20 thousand have it," said David Differding, the girls' father.
For years, the Differdings found few medically viable solutions. "You want to fix it and you can't," Janice said. "And you feel helpless."
The girls struggled in school. "When the teacher said something, I didn't hear what she said," Julia admitted.
Friends would become impatient with them. Claire explained, "I would ask them 'what did you say?' and they'd say 'never mind' and I don't like when people do that."
But a year ago, the Differdings learned about Sophono (www.sophono.com), a new medical hearing device specially designed for the girls' condition. The procedure was FDA-approved in late 2011 but it wasn't performed in Minnesota until just recently.
Both girls had what's called the Sophono Alpha 2 implanted under their scalps a year ago.
"They put this little metal plate in there and then it's a magnet," Claire said. An additional, removable component of the device, called a sound processor, can be easily attached to and removed from the magnet. Unlike other similar products and procedures, there isn't a "post" extruding from underneath the skin. Posts require daily cleaning and are a risk for infection.
Maddie says with both her sisters now hearing properly, "we don't have to spend as much time explaining stuff to them."
Even better, says David, "it's like turning a switch on and they're learning, where before they were missing all this information. It just shocked me to see their test scores improve so dramatically."
"The best part is seeing all my grades rocket-ship up," Claire agreed.
And of course, there's also the music.
"Before I could barely hear it. Now, I've been able to hit the right notes," Claire said of her improved performance on the flute, as well as the piano.
The phrase "music to the ears" has never sounded better.

The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure is it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
Electronic commerce between businesses has gained substantial momentum. Electronic marketplaces and XML or similar documents have begun to replace traditional EDI formats for commerce-related documents. Still, many businesses, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, have not adopted automated EDI or XML document processing. Whatever their size, many businesses face the prospect of an expedited implementation of EDI or XML document processing. It remains easier for large trading partners to generate XML or similar documents than it is for small to medium-sized businesses to adopt the technology needed to process them. In addition, a full scale conversion to EDI or XML transaction processing may involve far more documents than a business can practically convert in a workable time frame or on a reasonable budget.
One problem with the implementation of EDI or XML transaction processing is the complexity and cost of procedural programming to process business documents. Procedural programming, otherwise known as hard coding, requires much effort to describe document transformations and manipulations in procedural terms, using programming languages such as Java and C++. This effort translates into time for implementation and cost of implementation.
In some domains or problem spaces, declarative programming has been introduced. It is generally hoped that so-called declarative programming can make program customization accessible even to non-programmers. At the same time, it has been recognized that declarative programming is best when applied to a limited domain. Accordingly, declarative approaches are narrow and tailored, not generally applied.
Therefore, in the domain of exchanging self-defining, structured documents, it is desirable to develop declarative methods and components for simplifying the handling of documents. Declarative methods and components can improve interactions with users, particularly in the areas of producing documents, presenting error messages and searching for documents.
The present invention includes a method and device for updating a self-describing, structured document. A further aspect of the present invention is enabling client-based modification of the document. Additional aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.
The following detailed description is made with reference to the figures. Preferred and alternative embodiments are described to illustrate the present invention, not to limit its scope, which is defined by the claims. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize a variety of equivalent variations on the description that follows.
From the list of documents in a folder screen, the user can export a document 131, read it 132, or use it as a basis for a new document 133, either by replying to or copying the base document. The document may be exported as an XML, PDF, CSV, HTML or other-formatted document. Standard or user-supplied export filters can be implemented.
The processing of a user request to view a document can be understood by reference to the co-pending application for A Method and Apparatus for Viewing Electronic Commerce-Related Documents at pp. 5–52 and the figures cited therein. In general, a series of style sheets can be constructed for displaying documents. These style sheets may be written in XSLT, or another transformation language applicable to the data type of the documents. A series of style sheets may be written, from generic to highly customized. A rule selector can be used to select among the available style sheets based on criteria such as document type, marketplace identity, sender identity, receiver identity, portal identity or other selected criteria. A directory tree, database or other data structure can be used to access style sheets based upon the criteria used.
A user can select among document types for a resulting reply document 133. The available document types for a resulting reply document depend on the document type of the starting document type, for instance a starting document selected from a list of documents 123.
The document type selection screen of
A document being sent is typically a self-describing, structured document. XML documents are a common type of self-describing, structured documents. Fields within this document are self-describing, as the fields are tagged. A sample document having two different types of tagged fields is illustrated in
Referring to
On server 708, one or more services 711–713 may be available. One service may receive the document 711. The same or another service 712 may persistently store the incoming document, for instance in a database 707. One or more databases may be used to store data useful for electronic commerce or other document exchange. A database may include a repository of schemas 741 for standard and entity-defined business documents, a repository of JavaBeans 742, C++ structures, Pascal records or scripts useful to electronic commerce, a document map repository 743 for translation of documents from one format to another (e.g., the xCBL format to an export format) and for transformation of documents from one type to another (e.g., from a request for quotation to a quotation.) The database may further include a report layout repository 744 and a presentation layout repository 745. The presentation layout repository may include declarative transformations for changing documents from a Sox document format to an HTML format, and back again. The transmission properties data describes the transport information needed to sent a business document to a recipient. For example, SSL security credentials can be stored as transmission properties. A trading partner directory is also useful. The trading partner directory may, as described above, identify URLs to which the sending entity 701 transmits documents. The persistent storage for data 707, 741–47 may be on a single data storage unit or multiple units. Persistent document storage need not be part of a database. An indexed flat file would suffice to store XML-compliant documents. The services host 708 may also host an indexing service to index one or more of the tagged fields. Alternatively, a database system managing the persistent storage or other subsystem may index documents for retrieval. An incoming document may or may not be validated against schema from a schema repository 741, before it is persistently stored. A schema may be used to interpret the document. One or more JavaBeans or Scripps may be used to act on the document before it is stored.
One schema for persistently stored documents is illustrated in
Persistent storage of the incoming document may be accompanied by various processing steps. The original document, prior to normalizing, may be stored in a database. Envelope properties may be extracted from the envelope and normalized in a database or other storage. A predefined list of indexed fields, by document type, may be consulted and those fields indexed. Generic document properties, such as date and status, may be extracted from the envelope. The envelope itself may be separately stored. Attachments may be separately stored. Unneeded white space may be removed and name space abbreviations used to reduce storage requirements.
Returning to
A system 704 may be based upon a web server and a servlet container, for instance, compatible with JRun 3. A user interface application 721 may include a homepage 721, an in box 722, one or more services to read the document and/or its attachments 723, services for folder management 724, customized folders 725, searching for and listing documents. An additional service may provide access for downloading template documents 728. The web server may include Microsoft's WebServer software, a Java interpreter such as JRun 3 and a servlet container. A data storage interface may use the resources of a database. A first collection of services 720 is illustrated as being coupled with a transformation engine 730. The transformation engine may include selection logic 732 to select the style sheet for transformation purposes and transformation logic 731 which applies a style sheet to a document.
Sample excerpts of a document to display transformation 1212 for a main processing routine and display of header information with embedded path specifications follows:
A draft resulting document also may be generated, in the process of producing the user form. This document may be produced according to a declarative transformation of a starting XML document into a draft resulting XML document. The draft resulting document may include starting values from the starting document. It also may include default values for some fields and directions for completing other fields. The draft resulting document may be stored in memory according to a document-object-model (DOM) or another tree-based representation. Alternatively, the draft resulting document may be stored on disk or in memory in a form compatible with Simple API for XML (SAX or SAX2) or another event-based access model. Or, an event-based API can be used to construct a tree, or traverse an in-memory tree. When a draft resulting document is generated, in addition to a form, the draft resulting document may be maintained in memory while the user works from the form and a document ID can be maintained with other state information for the draft resulting document. Alternatively, a document ID and related information can be transmitted with the user form, even in a stateless fashion, and the draft resulting document constructed after the user's updating of the form. A draft resulting document can be transformed with a display transformation to generate the user form. The display transformation may be generated with an XSLT stylesheet or another set of declarative data.
Sample excerpts of a document to document transformation 1211 from a request for quotation to quotation follows, including portions of a main processing routine and a party copy routine:
The user acts upon the form 141. Fields are added, completed or changed. More than one iteration may be required, for instance, if a user adds a line item to a quotation. When the user is ready, the form is posted to the server for validation. One or more types of validation can be applied, such as field validation against a schema (e.g., for well-formedness and valid ranges) and business processing validation against a rule base. For instance, a SOX-compliant xCBL schema and a set of Schematron rules can be used for validation. In
Excerpts from a sample of a user form 141 that produced the sample screen in
The sequence in
One or more errors in the primary document are detected 2004. A secondary self-describing, structured document 2012 including the detected errors is generated. For the detected errors, an error identifier and a path specification identifying a node within the primary document corresponding to one or more of the detected errors are generated. The primary 2001 and secondary 2012 documents are merged 2005 for display 2006. In one embodiment, the secondary document is an XML document. An enhanced version of the XSLT document ( ) function is used to allow retrieval of the secondary document containing error text. The XMLPres component, which implements the XSLT functionality, is an enhanced version of Apache Foundation's Xalan. This component takes into account various concepts such as name spaces in Sox documents and polymorphism. Extension of the document ( ) function enables the loading of an external document to be specified by the invoker.
A context-based search facility is user configurable. Database configuration interfaces may be used for specifying those fields to be indexed. The user interface can be configured to provide user-friendly names to be displayed corresponding to XPath or field element name representations. Configuring the user interface permits fields that have different names in different document types to begin a common, user-friendly name at the user interface.
XPath provides a unique way to identify a field inside a XML document, but it may not be meaningful to an end user. As illustrated in
While the preceding examples are cast in primarily in terms of a method, devices and systems employing this method are easily understood. An electronically readable medium, such as a DVD, CD, memory module, magnetic disk or magnetic tape containing a program capable of practicing aspects the claimed method is one such device. A computer system comprising one or more servers and/or workstations having memory loaded with a program practicing the claimed method is another such device.
While the present invention is disclosed by reference to the preferred embodiments and examples detailed above, it is understood that these examples are intended in an illustrative rather than in a limiting sense. It is contemplated that modifications and combinations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, which modifications and combinations will be within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the following claims.

->''People ask the question... what's a [=RocknRolla=]? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a [=RocknRolla=], oh, he's different. Why? Because a real [=RocknRolla=] wants the fucking lot.''
--> --Archy
''[=RocknRolla=]'' is the fifth film by British director GuyRitchie. Much like ''Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'', ''Film/{{Snatch}}'', and ''Film/{{Revolver}}'', ''[=RocknRolla=]'' is a crime film set in the London underworld, populated with colorful gangsters. Actors include Creator/GerardButler, Creator/IdrisElba, Creator/TomHardy, Creator/ThandieNewton, and Tom Wilkinsen.
Lenny Cole is a powerful underworld figure, who, through an immense web of bribery, controls most of the land deals in London. A Russian businessman by the name of Uri seeks his services in procuring the permits to build a new stadium, which would take nearly a decade otherwise. However, their mutual accountant, Stella, is plotting to rip both of them off. With the aid of a trio of local hoodlums known as "The Wild Bunch" -- One-Two, Mumbles, and Handsome Bob -- she twice steals the seven million Euros intended for Lenny's payoff. The first time goes off without a hitch. The second time doesn't quite go as planned. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity]] (and [[SoCoolItsAwesome awesomeness]]) [[HilarityEnsues ensues]].
In the midst of it all, is a (presumably rare and valuable) painting that holds sentimental value for Uri. It is stolen by Lenny's estranged son, Johnny Quid (the eponymous [=RocknRolla=]), and both of their respective [[TheDragon Dragons]] (Victor for Uri; Archy, TheNarrator, for Lenny) are following a trail of junkies and hustlers in order to find it.
!!This Film provides examples of the following Tropes:
* AnArmAndALeg: Uri, though we can't be sure if it is to be taken literally.
* ArmourPiercingSlap: Archy's expertise; so powerful, it can even make you flashback to grade-school!
* BadAss: Archy and Johnny Quid, both in their own interesting ways.
* BadassLongcoat: Archy wears a black one.
* TheBeard: Stella, to her gay lawyer husband.
* BerserkButton: Uri ''really'' loves that painting. Johnny Quid and Archy both get very angry when they are lied to.
* BreakTheHaughty:
** [[spoiler: Lenny]]
** Possibly also [[spoiler:Stella.]]
* BulletproofVest: To a ridiculous degree. One of the Russians gets shot about six times with a big machine gun, and is up chasing the Wild Bunch on foot for a prolonged period moments later.
* ButtMonkey: Quite a lot of characters are this, but the highlight is definitely poor Bandy, who screen time always consist of him being slapped.
* ChaseScene: A particularly long and epic one.
* ClusterFBomb
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: It's a Guy Ritchie movie. It pretty much goes without saying.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Archy]], if the ending dialogue is anything to go by.
* DrugsAreBad: Johnny's drug-induced fit has shades of this.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Councillor.
** Among his many other bribes, Lenny gives him a thousand-Euro lighter (actually worth about a hundred) that's inscribed "THE COUNCILLOR".
* FaceCam: When One-Two is fleeing the scene of the second robbery.
* FemmeFatale: Stella. [[spoiler: Deconstructed]]
* {{Gayngster}}: [[spoiler: Handsome Bob]]
* GenreSavvy: Johnny Quid's speech about what would happen to him, Roman, and Mickey after they got out of the elevator with Lenny's thugs implies this trope. Or that Johnny Quid knew how his father's Mooks work. Either way, he ended up saving their asses by doing so.
* GoryDiscretionShot: When Uri [[spoiler: finds his "lucky painting" in Stella's house]], the audience doesn't see what happens next, but considering he leads a branch of TheMafiya, it's probably not very nice.
* HoneyTrap: A mild version; [[spoiler:Handsome Bob]] puts the moves on Stella's husband in order to get information about the mole who's been informing to the cops. Subverted since Stella knows about her husband's proclivities, and really doesn't care (and is, in fact, off with One-Two at the same party.)
* HuskyRusskie: See the entry below.
* ImplacableMan: The Russian mercenaries.
** Justified in that the Wild Bunch were using rock-salt shells, and the Russian's were wearing bulletproof vests. After One-Two hits one in the head with a two-by-four, he backs off.
* IncompatibleOrientation: [[spoiler: Handsome Bob]] likes boys, specifically One Two. One Two ''really'' doesn't feel the same way, but he throws [[spoiler: Bob]] a bone and gets over it pretty quickly.
* LastRequest: Well, technically Handsome Bob wasn't dying when he made of request, but since he was so devasted about the impending jail time, One-Two let him have [[spoiler: the lovely slow dance in a gay club. When he finds out that Handsome Bob didn't go to jail after all, his colleagues tease him about this.]]
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: It's a Guy Ritchie movie. It pretty much goes without saying.
* LogoJoke: Spray-stenciled by Johnny.
* LondonGangster: Where would a Guy Richie film be without several of these? Tom Wilkinson plays the ShoutOut to the Krays, as per usual.
** There is another shout out to "the Jew twins" who Lenny [[spoiler: put in prison for a lengthy turn after betraying them.]]
* MacGuffin: The painting. We only get to see the back of it.
* MadeOfIron: The Russian spetznaz. They survive their car being smashed by a truck, being shot, hit with bats and golf clubs, being thrown off the the hood of a car when it crashed, and still chase after the Wild Bunch in a prolonged chase scene. Lampshaded when Butler's character asks "What are these guys made of?!"
--> '''Mumbles''': ''[after hitting one with a baseball bat. Twice]'' ''Please'' stay down!
* TheMafiya: Uri and Victor and heavily implied to be gangsters trying to go legit.
* TheNarrator: Archy.
* NobleTopEnforcer:
** In comparison to the seemingly heartless Lenny Cole, Archy definitely qualifies as one of these. Of course, that doesn't mean that he's a ''nice'' man. Just ask [[spoiler:Lenny]].
** Uri's [[TheDragon dragon]], Victor, might qualify as well. It is mentioned by one of the Indestructible Russians that Victor saved his life during the war.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Uri. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Abramovich How did they not get sued?]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Several, with the Russians beating Lenny and Johnny attacking a bouncer being good examples. (We don't see all of Johnny and the bouncer, but it ''starts'' with [[ThePenIsMightier Johnny jabbing the bouncer in the throat with a pencil]], and it just goes from there.)
* OhCrap: When the Russian gangsters just will not go down, there is a great one after one of them jumps onto the car. He puts the knife through the ceiling, after which One-Two stops the car. As everyone is thrown forward, One-Two ''just'' avoids having his face cut open by the potruding knife, and his face very much says this. After they see the Russian's other hand and knife coming for them over the bonnet, the entire Wild Bunch is afflicted by this trope:
--->'''One-Two:''' ''Abandon ship! Run for your lives!''
* OverlyLongGag: Archy teaching Danny [[SeriousBusiness how to slap someone properly]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Lenny is constantly griping about immigrants (even when the people in question are native Brits) and tossing around less than politically correct terms.
* PrettyBoy: "Handsome" Bob.
* RussianGuySuffersMost: Subverted. Being former ''Spetznaz'', they can take it.
* SequelHook: Johnny Quid drops the hint that he wants to be [[TitleDrop a REAL RocknRolla]] like Archy and the credits promise Johnny Quid, Archy, and the gang will be back in "The Real RocknRolla". Ritchie wrote a script for a sequel, but says that it's been sitting on the shelf while he deals with bigger projects.
* SerialEscalation: On a meta level. LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels focused on working class criminals, with a less-than-a-million pound fee at stake. ''Film/{{Snatch}}'' was middle class and dealt with the diamond business. Here, it's about what Archy calls "the good life:" rock and roll, fancy houses, and millions of euros being thrown around.
* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll are not all there is to being a [=RocknRolla=], but they're important parts.
* SoundtrackDissonance: Johnny's piano song is very peaceful and calming. Meanwhile, [[spoiler: Lenny is getting the tar beat out of him.]]
* TheStinger: During the end credits, [[spoiler: the full scene of One Two dancing with Handsome Bob at the gay bar is shown]].
* StraightGay: [[spoiler: Handsome Bob]], enough so that One Two had ''no idea'' (granted, he was the only one). Might border into BiTheWay, since he's known as a ladykiller with lots of girlfriends.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: The Russians.
* ThoseTwoGuys: The junkies. "Selling stolen fur coats in the middle of summer, would not seem unusual to the average junkie mind."
* TitleDrop: Three times, not counting Archy's dialogue in the beginning.
* TooDumbToLive: Stella, Stella, Stella. Ripping off seven million dollars from her employer once was incredibly dangerous and foolhardy (and if Uri had listened to Victor, suspicion would have fallen on her almost instantly), but then she does it ''again'', once more only evading being traced as the security leak because Uri likes her too much to suspect her. [[spoiler: Ironically, while her plan did get Victor waiting for a reason to act against her, what did her in was simple bad luck of accepting the painting from One Two and leaving it out where Uri could see it...although not realizing it was Uri's lucky painting if she's been working with him all this time is arguably ALSO too dumb to live.]]
* TheUnreveal: Uri's painting is never revealed. The most we can tell is that it's got a black field, glimpsed when the junkies sell it. Of course, the prop is probably just a blank, black surface.

I suppose this maintenance mode is like Windows Safe Mode in which it loads only a very small amount of stuff.
It could be something in the message board and I do remember something I read about it, oooh, ages ago. Searching for something now.Maintenance mode is a secret mode that is build-in to every Wii console. Noone knows the real use of it, but sometimes, it seems to be accessible on a bricked Wii. This is why we recommend trying it before trying another method.
* Wii with working Health screen
1. Turn on the Wii and you will see the Health Screen. Now instead of pressing A, hold + and -, then press A. (keep holding till the screen changes!)
2. If you did it correctly (and your Wii isn't bricked enough to ruin it), you will see a message on the screen saying the Wii is in Maintenance Mode.
3. This mode allows you to do everything except using the Wii message board, so make use of that to backup saves or to run the HBC!
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
cool stuff, i had no idea
I'd forgotten about it too. In these days of Bootmii and Preloader the built in tools tend to be forgotten.
Yes well the issue I partially recalled was, now that I checked, actually more about locking up when message board was loaded and the user's inability to receive messages. A system format did clear that issue up.
I see the problem here to be somewhat different.
If you'd like to enter maintenance mode, copy your saves to SD or something and try the format then at least you won't lose anything important like your 241 star Mario Galaxy save (Yes I'm that sad I have one).
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
Yea i backed up all my saves and formatted the wii and it works fine now. Even after formatting, bootmii and preloader still work so i'm in the process of reinstalling HBC and all the channels i lost haha. Thanks for all the help.
Good to hear. So that must be the first time that a Wii system format has actually done some good.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
One last question, can I create wads of the channels using NUSD and install through WadManager? I read about WiiNCU but it needs a connection and my internet here kinda sucks haha.
There's an option on the App called Pack>WAD which'll create a wad file in the folder the downlosd creates.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.

Three Allegany County men have been rescued from the icy, choppy water of Lake Ontario after their fishing boat capsized about four miles from the mouth of the Niagara River in Niagara County.
U.S. and Canadian Coast Guard crews rescued the two 51-year-old men and one 61-year-old man from 37-degree water late Saturday afternoon. The rescuers arrived 45 minutes after the men called 911 to say their 19-foot boat was encountering heavy waves and filling with water. The men huddled on the overturned vessel to await the rescuers.
The boat, a Crestliner, later sank and was not recovered.

Geoffrey Arend may be the envy of many, but it's still frustrating for the (500) Days Of Summer star when people take potshots at his wife, Mad Men bombshell Christina Hendricks. "I was just upset about the whole Golden Globes dress thing," he told People last week, referring to an unkind New York Times' blog post earlier this month ("you never put a big girl in a big dress")." I thought she looked so gorgeous. And that New York Times blogger saying that…It's so ridiculous." Fans lashed out at the site (which also noted an increase in arm fat on the carpet), pointing out that the accompanying photo had been artificially widened. "What was nice was seeing the entire internet come after that blogger. That was really cool. It was the first time I saw just a solid block of 'You're crazy! What's wrong with you? You should be ashamed of yourself!'" The Times claims the photo alteration was an accidental, tragic coincidence.
Hendricks, who says she thought looked "gorgeous" at the ceremony, definitely hasn't been scared of the red carpet, attending the Directors' Guild Of America Awards on Saturday and the Screen Actors' Guild Awards the week before. See what we she wore, as well as the infamous Globes' dress, in the gallery below.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves left their troubles on the road, jumping out to a 5-0 lead and holding on to collect their largest margin of victory this season with a 5-2 win over the Houston Aeros before a season-high crowd of 11,718 at the Allstate Arena Saturday night.
Center Jared Ross (G, 2A) led the team with three points, while right wing Spencer Machacek (G, A) and center Jason Krog (G, A) also added multiple points in the win, which ended a seven-game losing skid for Chicago (7-11-1-0).
Wolves goaltender Peter Mannino (2-3-0) turned in a 25-save performance, which includes holding the Aeros scoreless for the first 52:33 of the game.
"It was nice to see us get some breaks, but we got very solid goaltending from Peter and it all starts from there," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "We had a long, long road trip and now we can breathe a sigh of relief and hopefully get back to playing the way we can play."
After a scoreless first period, the Wolves jumped out to a 1-0 lead, 17 seconds into the second frame with center Ryan Garbutt's first American Hockey League goal. The Wolves won the face off and kicked the puck back to defensemen Boris Valabik and Mike Siklenka, who worked it up the ice to Garbutt. The forward took off into the Aeros zone and lasered a shot past Houston netminder Anton Khudobin.
Ross added another goal to give Chicago a 2-0 lead 61 seconds later. The Wolves moved into the zone on a three-on-two and Machacek slipped a pass to Ross, who moved into the slot and sent a shot flying past Khudobin.
Machacek made the lead 3-0 when he deflected Krog's shot out of the air and into the net at 8:48 of the second frame, sending Khudobin (5-5-1) to the bench in favor of backup Michael Ouzas.
A power-play chance late in the second period gave Chicago a 4-0 lead. Left wing Nigel Dawes scrambled to collect the puck and the blue line before walking in a flinging a shot past Ouzas, 15:31 into the middle period.
Krog added a fifth tally for Chicago, 2:35 into the third period when he found himself alone in the lower left face-off circle with the rebound from a Riley Holzapfel shot and clipped it past Ouzas.
Ouzas made 13 saves in 30:58 of relief duty, while Khudobin made six saves in taking the loss.
Houston (9-7-1-2) cracked the scoreboard to make the score 5-1 at 12:33 of the third period when Colton Gillies sprung out on a breakaway and flipped a backhanded shot past Mannino, top shelf.
The Aeros added another tally with 4:32 remaining in the game when right wing Petr Kalus jammed the puck past Mannino on a wraparound.
The Wolves will host the Lake Erie Monsters at the Allstate Arena on Sunday at 4 p.m.
Houston 0 0 2 -- 2
Chicago 0 4 1 -- 5
First Period---None. Penalties---Siklenka, Chicago (hooking), 10:47.

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross women's ice hockey team skated to a 3-1 defeat on Friday evening at the Hart Center to visiting Salve Regina. The Seahawks netted two short-handed goals including the game-winner as time expired in the first period to come away with the victory. The Crusaders open ECAC East conference play 0-1-0 and hold a 1-1-0 record overall while Salve Regina improves to 3-0-0 overall and 1-0-0 in the league.
The game began with neutral zone action as the first shot did not come until almost three minutes in. Salve Regina broke the scoreless tie with 9:21 remaining as Cheyenne Boyd went streaking down the far side of the ice and passed the puck right in front of the crease where Danielle Phalon burried the back of the open net. With the Seahawks short-handed late in the period, Sarah Markey landed a long pass on the stick of Taylor Shephard at the blue line who beat the Holy Cross defense and Crusader sophomore goaltender Alexandra Stevenson (Norwood, N.Y.) just above the blocker inside the left post to give the Seahawks a 2-0 advantage at the first intermission.
Salve Regina went on the power play once again with 15:07 remaining in the second period and just 55 seconds later Michaela Chiuccariello received a pass from Phalon and scored to make the Seahawk advantage, 3-0. With 7:28 remaining in the frame, a tripping call on Holy Cross led to a penalty shot, but Stevenson stood her ground as the shot by Phalon drifted wide right of the goal. Salve Regina outshot the Crusaders 18-8 in the second stanza.
Holy Cross finally turned up the pressure in the third period, outshooting the Seahawks 14-1. The Crusaders got on the board with 12:03 remaining as senior Rebecca O'Quinn (Arlington, Mass.) sent a pass off the end board behind the Seahawk net that sophomore Rebecca Fleming (Newton, Mass.) gathered just outside the left post and lifted into the top of the goal. The Salve Regina defense spent the final 2:41 with the Crusaders on a six-on-five skating advantage as Stevenson went to the bench during a timeout with 3:42 remaining in the game. A Seahawks penalty with 1:01 remaining made it a two-woman advantage, but the Crusaders could not get the puck past the goal line.
Stevenson made 26 saves but suffered the loss and is now 0-1-0 on the season. Salve Regina netminder Ali Muehlbronner made 32 saves on the night, including 13 in the final period, and improves to 3-0-0. Tonight marks the first victory for Salve Regina in the 25-game series history with Holy Cross dating back to 1999.
The Crusaders will have a quick turn around and face Salve Regina again tomorrow night, Nov. 3, in Newport, R.I. at 7:00 p.m. in the second half of this home-and-home early season series.
