Comment Voting: Back, Modified
Hello. Comment voting is back. As as often the case with these things, I just had to do something entirely different to get it to work. Once I modified the approach it was easy, which… computers, man.
The graying out and highlighting are still a work in progress, but we have restored the status quo ante bellum, pre-slashcomments. I'll probably move the voting thing to the right, but I figured I'd let people get a grasp on the new/old status quo before making further changes.
The system:
You need 100 points to vote and start threads. As per before. No change there.
Upvoting is free and provides two points to the upvoted user. Someone posted something you like. Hurray!
Downvoting costs a point and subtracts a point from the downvoted user. Finally: something to spend your points on. It costs a point to downvote a guy in an effort to mitigate the echo-chamber effect; downvoting is not supposed to be disagreement. It also hurts the downvoted user less than upvoting helps him an effort to only excise folks who get more than two-thirds of the site on their bad side. If this is you… I cannot help you.
THERE IS NO LIMIT. bwahahahahahaha (there should probably be a limit. working on that.)
Unverified Voracity Finds Unintentional Hawk Poetry
Hey kids. The Michigan Theater's hosting a premiere of a documentary that may be up your alley tomorrow at 7. It's a documentary about a not-very-good Indiana high school basketball team:
It's getting excellent reviews, and was put together by Ann Arbor/Michigan folk, including Davy Rothbart of FOUND. And you can get in free(!) just by mentioning MGoBlog at the box office. It does not get better than that. Except maybe going 9-3. That would be awesome.
Anyway: Thursday, 7, Michigan Theater, an Indiana basketball team. There are also showings in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids; mention the blog and you'll get in free there as well.
"DEAL WITH IT" –Dead Hawk to itself.
IMPORTANT. Here is a story from Don Cherry that he posted on twitter.
1) A big beautiful hawk was killed on North Sheridan Way Service Road last night. How can anybody kill a beautiful bird like that?
2) The bird had to be seen. I can understand, although sad, when I see a squirrel killed on the road, the way they dart in and out .
3) But this hawk did not know how to time it when to get out of the way of as a car comes. Sad. I love hawks. They always look so cool as
4) they sit on a tree like they should be wearing sun glasses.
Sometimes multi-part tweets seem like nouveau free verse with their accidental breaking points and garbled syntax, and this one culminates with the image of a Hawk Cop keeping his eye out for you. Serve and protect (mice not included). Sometimes twitter is great. Other times it's MACK BROWN IS DEAD (I'm not dead yet!).
Also not dead yet. There were reports from campus that Devin Gardner was wearing a sling to classes during the year, and at the bust yesterday he shows up on crutches and in a walking boot.
Is there any part of Devin Gardner that is not broken? Is it even possible to judge Gardner's junior year, given that for most of it he was a broken assemblage of bones grinding against bones entirely other than the ones they were supposed to grind against*? For the love of God can someone protect this man?
Hoke says Gardner's issue is turf toe. This will prevent him from practicing this week but won't affect his availability for the bowl, because Devin Gardner is quarterback Rasputin.
*["Hey, tibia, fancy seeing you here. Aren't you supposed to be hanging out with, oh, what's his name? Femur? The big fellow."
"Yes, well I imagine it must. You seem to be getting smaller and there are many more of you."
I AM DISINTEGRATINGGGGGGGGGGGggggggggg
"Strange folk, those leg bones. Don't you think so, ulna?"
Here is a weird thing on Wednesday. Michigan finishes their first-half schedule with a game against Ferris State tonight, for some reason. Ferris is off to a hot start itself, currently 4th in the RPI (Michigan has dropped to fifth since we last checked, just because other team have won games and leapt up) and 13-2-2 overall. The Bulldogs haven't really played anyone outside their conference, splitting against Colgate and St. Lawrence and beating Mercyhurst, but they are scoring tons of goals and are 10-0-2 in the new WCHA.
Center Ice has a preview for you; sounds like there's going to be a lot of pressure on the Michigan defense to escape a heavy forecheck. That is suboptimal. Should be a good one… on a Wednesday. For some reason.
Here's another weird thing. Brennan Serville will return to the lineup tonight. He's displacing Mike Chiasson, leaving converted forward Andrew Sinelli on the ice. Sinelli's played pretty well since moving back to defense. He's small but his puck skills are above average for the position and he's a good skater with relatively good pop for a guy his size. I've noticed him more than Chiasson, certainly, and while Serville is still a mistake factory he's much better with the puck on his stick than Chiasson, and Michigan's going to need to move the puck against Ferris's aggressive forecheck.
Here's yet another weird thing. Michigan is legendarily averse to post touches, something I've been fine with for the most part. Michigan's personnel hasn't lent itself to dumping it on the block and letting someone try to score, and that's not Beilein's wheelhouse, so okay. But with Mitch McGary rounding into shape, Beilein asserts that we might see more than 1% of Michigan's possessions feature a large man on the block:
For those calling for post-entry plays, Michigan coach John Beilein tossed out a modicum of hope on Wednesday morning.
"I think everyone should stay tuned to that because that's been a process," Beilein said in an interview with "The Michigan Insider" show on WTKA-AM (1050). "But sometimes we stay away from it, sometimes it frustrates us, sometimes it's been good to us."
One of the primary guys calling for post entries has in fact been Sam Webb, who asked the question that led to that answer. Personally, my prescription for success is running a ton of pick and roll with McGary, Stauskas and LeVert. Michigan's gone away from the P&R a lot this year without Burke and the results have been… iffy.
Here's a usual thing that is still a little bit weird. Remember last year when I kept saying that Michigan was just unbelievably young? And that this would get much better the next year even with the departures of Burke and Hardaway? About that.
And that's likely to drop as the season goes on and McGary sucks up more of Horford and Morgan's minutes. This is significant improvement on last year, in fact—their experience number was 0.73—but when you're so far down the list you have to improve more than that to make any real headway.
Not particularly surprising aside: the nation's least experienced team is Kentucky. Kansas is third. Kansas has lost three of their last four and Kentucky is 8-2 with losses to MSU and Baylor and a best win over Providence. It is hard to be young, sometimes, even when you have guys on your roster NBA teams are slavering over.
QWASH speech issues. Quinton Washington's speech was the highlight of the bust, as he opened up about the speech issues that had been the thing politely not mentioned about him ever since his recruitment:
"Coming here, it was hard for me to even pick up a phone," said Washington, who has struggled with speech problems his entire life. "I couldn't order at a restaurant."
Five years ago, Quinton Washington couldn't order food.
This is a problem when you are 300 pounds. Read the whole thing; Washington is a fine example of the reasons you root for the kids inside the uniforms instead of just the uniforms.
Etc.: Michigan is +3.5 against K-State, which sounds about right. I mean okay yeah Michigan blew a late lead to the NTDP, but I mean… Luke Dwyer was in. I'm not bothered. 23 minutes of Jeremy Gallon highlights. RIP Don Lund. Doesn't sound like any juniors are exploring the NFL draft.
A Deeper Look At GRIII's Offensive Struggles
Too many of these (Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog)
There's no question Glenn Robinson III is off to a rough start in his sophomore season. Tasked with creating more offense in the absence of Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., he's struggled to do so, and his efficiency has plunged—he's shooting 44% from the field after hitting 57% of his shots last year. In Michigan's three losses, representing three of the four toughest teams they've played, he's all but disappeared, and only one of those (Charlotte, against which he played nine minutes before exiting the game after falling on his back) can be explained away by mitigating circumstances.
In a highly recommended stat-based look at Michigan's offensive issues so far this year, UMHoops cited a major reason for GRIII's regression—his lack of attempts at the rim [emphasis mine]:
Last year Robinson attempted 43.5% of his field goals at the rim and converted at a 78% rate. You remember those plays: Trey Burke penetrates and finds Robinson creeping along the baseline for an alley-oop or Robinson leaks out for an easy dunk in transition. Robinson was among the best finishers in the country a year and was the 10th most efficient offensive player in the country because of it.
This year, just 21.4% of Robinson's field goal attempts have come at the rim. He's finishing at an improved 88.9% rate but the opportunities aren't nearly as plentiful. That's a major problem because that's what Robinson does best.
Above all else, this is the clear issue with Robinson this year; without Burke—and to a lesser extent, Hardaway—commanding the full attention of opposing defenses, the easy looks that were there last year aren't happening this year, and Robinson's attempts to create his own offense haven't been nearly as effective.
In an effort to expand on this, I went back to the Iowa State game film—the only game in which Michigan faced a quality opponent, GRIII played extensively and commanded at least 15% of the team's possessions, and the opposing defense wasn't face-guarding Nik Stauskas—to see how his shots were created. This is every shot attempt and turnover by Robinson before Michigan was down multiple possessions in the final two minutes; you should see a common thread:
Most of Robinson's attempts are happening in transition, obviously. When Michigan was in their halfcourt offense, he was almost entirely a non-factor. A few more observations from the tape above and this season as a whole after THE JUMP.
[JUMP for stat wonkery, what's not working, and reasons for hope.]
Mailbag: Slowing Down Offenses, Henry At NT, Smith Vs Green, #1 Jersey, Onside Piracy
As I sit here watching Missouri and Auburn roll up and down the field, with the only defense being turnovers, I'm wondering what can be done to curtail the wave of offense in football so that defenses have a chance again. Maybe people are fine with all of the offense, but it seems like it is so tough to play defense (get held on nearly every play, called one in 30 times) that I would love to see something to help even things up without drastically changing the game (such as 3 downs instead of 4 or having to go 15 yards for a first down instead of 10, etc.). I think I figured out a simple change that may help: with offenses spread out to make one on one match-ups all over the place, what if there is a rule that all of the offensive players have to line up between the numbers? This wouldn't be such a drastic change and it would allow defenses to be a little less spread out at the snap.
What do you think?
A loyal reader,
Despite the attempt to not seem drastic, that seems kind of drastic. That would affect a lot of teams from spread to, uh, concentrate. And I'm not even sure what the impact would be. If teams just stack two guys up at the numbers is that better or worse? It doesn't seem to have a huge impact. Apologies, but thumbs down.
If we're going to change football to slow down the offenses, my suggestion is to simplify and liberalize pass interference by making it a (nearly) arms-only offense. I can't stand it when a defender gets nailed for the WR trying to run through him; some of these back shoulder things are basically prayer ducks relying on the fact that the DB isn't looking and hoping he'll run over the DB. In the hypothetical world where I am king, whiskey is free and pass interference is a thing that can only happen when a defensive back uses his arms in an unfair fashion or blows a guy up early. No more of this stuff where the DB is running in a direction and the WR changes his path such that the DB is now impeding the WR. You have a right to your momentum. In exchange, offenses can have full NFL penalties for flagrant you-tackled-that-guy offenses.
Not that any of this will do much to slow down Auburn, which just runs and runs and runs and runs. They beat Alabama and their QB threw for 97 yards. They got outgained by 100 yards, but they also ran for 5.7 yards a carry against Alabama. It boggles the mind.
Moving Willie Henry?
OK, there are many candidates to play the DT next year, but few candidates to play NT if Pipkins doesn't come back strong after injury. You and others are very high on Henry at DT, but I haven't seen him mentioned at a possible NT. His weight and height look fine, but is there something about his build that makes him not well suited to play the nose?
Henry is a very plausible NT with his size and strength. Michigan lists him at 6'2", 306, which is about ideal NT size, and we've seen him throw away more than one OL this year. In an ideal world, Pipkins is full-go by late spring and playing well in fall camp, allowing Henry to continue doing his thing at three-tech.
But if that's not happening I bet we do see Henry slide over to the nose. Michigan's other options there are Richard Ash and redshirt freshman Maurice Hurst Jr, which doesn't sound too appealing. At three tech, Strobel, Poggi, and Glasgow are returning and Michigan has the option of bumping either Godin or Wormley down from SDE with Beyer the projected starter there.
A Henry move is 50/50 right now.
[After the JUMP: Smith vs Green, annual #1 jersey speculation, and evaluating a potential onside kick in The Game.]
Green was getting more PT for a reason. Was that recruiting hype? [Fuller]
Hokepoints of the Perdue Wonderchicken
I write this column once a year to implore college football fans to use a standard, common, descriptive set of names for the bowl games. Try saying "Copper" instead of "Buffalo Wild Wings" for the next month, and just imagine the savings!!!
In the pantheon of annoyances, I admit that companies paying somebody to make you use their name out of context is far less destructive than, say, a university trading scholastic loans as private securities and then jacking up tuition so shareholders can make more money.
Still, it is annoying. The purpose of language is the communication of ideas, and elegance in this is a thing everybody should appreciate. Names are communicative tools that allow the listener to reference all information stored on that thing. When speaking to another college football fan, the name of the bowl ought to conjure up its history and location and place in the pantheon. A name sponsor is a jerk who butts into the middle of your conversation…
: Hey, Carol-Sue. Guess what: I just bought tickets to the…
: Oh that's nice. I have no idea what or where that is.
: You know, Big Ten teams play in it now but it had WAC teams in the '90s.
: Wait, the one they used to play at Arizona right? Wasn't that the…
: Yeah, that's it. Remember when Iowa played in the…
…and makes communication of the idea more difficult. Adding syllables (they couldn't call it the B-Dubs Bowl?) adds to the annoyance. It is cold here during bowl season, so I prefer to not expend what limited body heat I have in vocalizing "The Yushityu 2007 Mimetic-Resolution-Cartridge-View-Motherboard-Easy-To-Install-Upgrade For Infernatron/InterLace TP Systems For Home, Office Or Mobile Bowl."*
What to Call Them?
Typically unless it's an older bowl just use the name of the city they play in, and if there are multiple bowls in a city start adding numbers (Tampa II, Cotton II, etc.) If everybody knows a bowl as something because it has been called that for decades, obviously use that.
After [the jump] I'll put up a handy chart of the current bowl slate, complete with sounds you can make to accurately relate meaning to another human, and commercial-free graphics that can do the same. You can keep that open as a tab on your phone or whatever as a reference this month.
2015 Names To Watch: Reagan Williams
Position: Linebacker/Tight End
Ht/Wt: 6'3" / 232 lbs.
Location: Jackson High School – Jackson, OH
Offers: Kent State, Ohio
Ranking: ★★★ .8599 (247 Composite)
Linebacker/Tight end prospect Reagan Williams was one of many recruits to attend The Game at The Big House a couple of weekends ago and I was able to chat with him about that a little bit. Williams is being recruited by most schools as a linebacker but the Michigan coaches appear to have a fondness for him at the tight end spot. Williams was a very nice kid to talk to and had some great things to say about his visit to Ann Arbor.
He was not shy at all about how much he enjoyed his visit to The Big House by saying, "It was awesome! One of my best visits yet." He actually claimed it was a tie between Michigan and Michigan State. Not bad considering his other visits include trips to Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Cincinnati, and Louisville, among a few others.
The coaches in particular stuck out to Reagan while he was on his visit.
The coaching staff was very, very personable. I talked to every single position coach and they really made it feel like they have a family atmosphere with their players. The Big House was insane as well.
Reagan is an extremely intelligent kid, boasting a 4.0 GPA and a very respectable ACT score of 26, and that was easy to sense when I asked him if he had any type of affinity for his home-state Buckeyes. (Normally I wouldn't post a test score like that but he's proud of it and wants it to be public. It's part of his profile on his HUDL link.)
I'm a big Buckeye fan. I have been since I was a little kid, but recruiting changes your outlook on a lot of things as far as seeing what every school has to offer. If Ohio State offered it would definitely be something that would be seriously considered. It hasn't happened yet though so I can't totally describe the emotions that would be involved.
I was surprised by how much he admitted to liking the Buckeyes, while at the same time ranking his Michigan visit above their rivals from Ohio.
Every visit has it's pros and cons, but it seemed that the Michigan visit was VERY well organized.
As mentioned above the coaches have talked to Reagan about playing a fullback/h-back type of position because they really like how physical he is on both sides of the ball. Reagan says he doesn't really have a preference he just wants to play wherever it helps his team the most.
When I asked him about his plans for his senior season, Williams said all of the right things about wanting to excel in the classroom, work toward a state championship, and develop a strong relationship with a coaching staff from a school that fits well for him. When it comes to fit, he said he must play for a coach and a team that has a strong tradition of defense and an emphasis on physicality. He doesn't understand how the game can be played any other way. Pretty much the exact sentiment you'd expect from a fullback/linebacker.
With Michigan's 2015 class being so limited on scholarships the staff has already informed Reagan that he is being evaluated but they have to be meticulous with who they offer. The coaches did say that they'd like to check Williams out in person sometime during the spring.
At the end of our conversation it came up that Williams is a die-hard Patriots and Tom Brady fan and that he was awestruck by Brady's speech to Team 134 earlier this season. It's pretty clear that the Michigan coaches have done well with Williams thus far, but if they and the Buckeyes get more involved in his recruitment, it sounds entirely realistic that the Wolverines could be on the outside looking in.

IRC: Wilks puts his Skoda to the test
18 November 2009
Guy Wilks and co-driver Phil Pugh started preparations for the Rally of Scotland earlier this week, successfully completing a full day testing session in their Skoda Fabia S2000.
In often difficult and very wet conditions, Wilks put the Skoda Fabia through its paces in what was his first time in the car and he is now looking forward to the final round in the 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
"Despite some pretty treacherous weather, we were pleased with how the testing has gone," said the two-time British Rally champion.
"It was great to finally get behind the wheel, spend time in the car and put some mileage under our belt. The car handled well in the slippery conditions and feels very good. I can't wait to line up on the start line on Thursday now."
Wilks was due to complete his recce for the Rally of Scotland today [Wednesday] before starting the event on Thursday afternoon.

China's factory output and retail sales topped forecasts last month in signs that an economic recovery is accelerating, improvements that may pare a jobless rate newly estimated at almost double the official figure.
Industrial production climbed 10.1 percent in November from a year earlier and retail sales growth accelerated to 14.9 percent, while inflation was 2 percent, the statistics bureau said yesterday. The urban unemployment rate exceeded 8 percent this year, a central bank-backed research center said yesterday in Beijing, citing a household survey.
China's economic revival and inflation running at half the pace of this year's target may help the Communist Party's new leadership maintain public support after a once-a-decade power transition. Challenges for the nation's next president, Xi Jinping, include a wealth gap that the same household survey indicates is 50 percent higher than the level that risks triggering social unrest.
"The recovery is being driven by policy easing and credit and that's not very sustainable in the long term," said Zhang Zhiwei, chief China economist at Nomura Holdings Inc. in Hong Kong, who previously worked for the International Monetary Fund. "The government needs to do much more on structural reform. There's not that much debate about what needs to be done but these reforms haven't been done yet because they are difficult."
Zhang cited "opening up monopolized sectors to private investment" as an important change.
The urban jobless rate in July was 8.1 percent, based on a survey of 8,438 households by the Survey and Research Center for China Household Finance, a body set up by the central bank's Institute of Financial Research and Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu, southwest Sichuan province.
That compares with a U.S. unemployment rate that was 7.7 percent last month, government data showed last week, down from 8.3 percent in July. The figures are based on a survey of about 60,000 households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
China's urban registered jobless rate, the only official measure of nationwide unemployment, was 4.1 percent at the end of September, unchanged from the previous eight quarters, according to data from the labor ministry in Beijing.
The nation's customs administration will today release November trade data. Export growth probably cooled to 9 percent from a year earlier, according to the median estimate of 31 analysts in a Bloomberg News survey. Imports rose 2 percent, easing from a 2.4 percent pace the previous month.
The People's Bank of China will also this week release money supply and lending figures for last month. New local- currency loans probably fell to 550 billion yuan ($88 billion) from 562.2 billion yuan a year earlier, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey, while M2, the broadest measure of money supply, may have risen 14.1 percent, unchanged from October's pace.
China's benchmark stock gauge, the Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP), rose 4.1 percent last week, the most in a year, on expectations the recovery will gather pace and as the Politburo signaled an increased focus on urban development.
Industrial-production growth compared with the 9.8 percent median estimate of analysts in a Bloomberg survey, while the rise in retail sales exceeded the 14.6 percent median estimate.
China's fixed-asset investment excluding rural households in the first 11 months of the year rose 20.7 percent, the same pace as in the January-October period.
Consumer inflation compared with 1.7 percent in October and marked the 10th straight month below the government's 2012 target of 4 percent. Producer prices fell 2.2 percent, the ninth straight drop, while the pace of the decline moderated for a second month.
"Chinese authorities will continue to guard against the inflation risk in 2013," and the central bank will have to pay more attention to managing price expectations, Liu Li-Gang, chief Greater China economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Hong Kong, said in a note yesterday.
Caterpillar Inc., the world's biggest construction and mining equipment maker, is seeing signs of recovery in China and expects economic growth to increase next year as the government focuses on rural migration to towns and cities, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Dec. 6.
"The Chinese economy is now in a sweet spot and can stay in the sweet spot" through the first half of 2013, Lu Ting, head of Greater China economics at Bank of America Corp. in Hong Kong, said in a note yesterday. "The current macro backdrop should bolster asset prices from equities to commodities."
The Gini coefficient, an index measuring income inequality, was 0.61 in China in 2010, the center's survey showed. The guideline ranges from 0, which represents perfect equality, to 1, which implies perfect inequality. Readings above 0.4 are used by analysts as a gauge of the potential for social disturbances.
The ruling Communist Party has pledged to narrow the gap between rich and poor and address corruption that's fueling discontent in the world's second-biggest economy. Reducing inequality is one of the main challenges facing China, the World Bank said in a February report that outlined policies to help the nation make the transition to a high-income country.
"China must change the structure of income distribution and rely on massive fiscal transfers to narrow such a yawning disparity," Gan Li, director of the center and a professor at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, said at a briefing yesterday.
Xi visited the southern province of Guangdong last week in his first trip since taking over as head of the party last month, drawing parallels to a 1992 southern tour by paramount leader Deng Xiaoping that spurred economic opening. Stops included the experimental zone of Qianhai that's a pilot for a yuan convertibility trial, according to the South China Morning Post, which cited an unidentified propaganda official.

PS. Cycles come and go as do the prosperity of any country and their citizens. Therefore, companies' wealth and investors' wealth also comes and goes. The results depends on companies' management and yourself. Good to great management means survival and prosperity versus bad to ugly management that turns any short term gains into zero....goes for all companies big to small versus retail and professional investors versus all the promotional fluff in companies and usual riftraft of ids professing riches versus the many that do the same via their ratings. The whos who in real world and web of the herd vs realty vs contraian. What's your reality?
PSS. Time sure flies, almost 20 year anniversary in the market casino for me, from mutuel funds, 1993 to selling them out to go building my own diversified portfolio, 1995. Seen so much, learn so much about the markets and myself, how it behaves and how I behave thru the countless bubbles and scandals. Here's to another great 20 years and well into my retirement by then. :)
PSSS. Thanks for the readership here and on Twitter. Tis the season. Merry Christmas, Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year to all. :)

Yes absolutely right. If you expect your child to have an individual help from the teacher sorry but it's a dream. School it's too crowded & they only cares about school test to be ranked as a great school.

Overall watchability grade: 3.6 (out of 10)
Matchup: 3 (x2)
There wont be a lot of hype heading into the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, featuring a 6-6 MAC team and a 7-5 Sun Belt team. Neither team excels at much offensively or defensively. As for storylines, it is Western Kentuckys first bowl game, while Central Michigan enters this contest on a three-game winning streak.
Star power: 3
Both teams boast talented running backs. Zurlon Tipton, who rushed for 1,391 yards and 20 touchdowns, led Central Michigan this year. Western Kentuckys Antonio Andrews had even better 2012 numbers, with 1,609 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Location: 4
Spending Christmas in Detroit probably isnt what a lot of people dream about, but the city does have some dining and shopping options. Ford Field is also one of the nicer stadiums that will host a bowl game this year.
Schedule: 5
The Little Caesars Pizza bowl is the only bowl game on the day after Christmas. As the only ticket in town, and with little else happening that night, it is a pretty solid viewing option.

boy/girl toys?
Patrick and Allison
Dana Patrick 7/3/11 Harper Devane 6/2/12
They are children. They can play with and receive whatever toys they want. Children playing with dolls is their first "practice" at becoming a loving, caring parent. Many boys grow up to be men who have children, just as many girls grow up to be women who have children. It is important for all childrne to learn parenting skills.
We have two boys and there are dolls in our home.
Hannah (me) married
DS1 Dec 2009 (C/S) DS2 July 2011 (VBAC)
DS3 January 2014 (VBAC)
4th and FINAL baby due September 2015!
My boys all have dolls and love them. I figure that girls play with dolls to pretend to be mommies, so boys can play with dolls pretending to be daddies! I'm hoping all my kids become mommies or daddies someday, so this is good practice!
WM-mommy to KL (12yrs), WC (9yrs), CW (7yrs), PC (5yrs), GH (3yrs), and Caroline Mae born 9-2-13
I see no problem with it. A neighbor I grew up with still has his cabbage patch doll at age 27 (hidden in his closet, I'm sure) ;) haha. His mom told me she sent it to him after cleaning out his old room at home. I think it's cute!
I agree with you. They should play with the toys they're drawn to. There's nothing abnormal about little boys playing with dolls. I have a daughter, and we're getting her two dolls for Christmas, a girl and a boy. We would do the same for a son, especially if he expressed interest in them.
my husband had a cabbage patch doll when he was little, he still remembers his name and everything, I don't think there is a problem with it! My son does not have one but nothing says he won't get one in the future if he wants it!! He loves stuffed animals and hugs and plays with them like they are "baby dolls"!!
My daughter is getting Zig the Big Rig and other cars. She loves her cars. I can't imagine not buying her that because they are boy toys.
I see nothing wrong him getting a doll at all. Kids should get to play with what they want - it's all about them being happy right?
I created perfection.
In my experience as a teacher, it is usually the Dad's who get more upset about their sons playing "girly", like wearing dress up clothes or playing with dolls.
Me (38) + DH (37) = A 4/16/08 and K 7/12/11.
ODS had a boy Cabbage Patch when he was smaller. He didn't play with it much, but it was there if he wanted it. If your DS likes baby dolls, why shouldn't he have his own? DD and YDS play with each other's toys all the time, I'm not going to stop them. Your LOs are pretty close in age and there will probably be a lot of toy-swapping in the future, so he may as well have a doll to call his "own."
I think it's ignorant to say that dolls are only girl toys.

Denver (AP) State lawmakers backed a bill Wednesday requiring violent sex offenders to wear GPS tracking devices. The vote followed emotional testimony from the father of a Florida girl who was raped and murdered by a convicted sex offender in 2005.
Mark Lunsford told the House Judiciary Committee how he saw the fingers of his 9-year-old daughter, Jessica, poking through the plastic bag she was buried alive in and how she must have been struggling to get some air.
He said his daughter's killer kidnapped her from her bedroom three months after his GPS device was removed by authorities.
Lawmakers agreed to change the bill to only require sexually violent predators to be tracked with GPS. There are 91 sexually violent predators living in Colorado and several hundred more in prison that the bill would apply to.
There are already 50 offenders who are already being monitored by GPS because they considered to be the most high risk. It's not clear how much overlap there would be between the two groups.

Hi All,
I guess this is good news, I got approved for LTD also. I don't know if it is a difficult process for the approval, but none-the-less I got the approval. The only thing is that I'm very upset because I always worked 2-3 jobs and LTD is deducting my WC amount monthly so I only am getting $145 a month for LTD. It doesn't make sense to me because I worked 2 jobs I don't understand how one job has to do with the other.
But I am really trying to find the silver lining in all of this so I thought I would post this as an accomplishment and try to stop beating myself up over this. Even though I will only have $152 a month to live on after all of my bills are paid. I mean we are talking the basics, rent, untilities, health insurance, car insurance. My car note and credit cards are being paid for because thankfully I had disability insurance that I paid for monthly.
So even with those being paid that still only leaves me $38 a week for food, pets, emergencies, etc.
But again, I'm trying to look at the good. It's just hard because they were paying me $1200 for STDmontly and now it will only be $145 because of deducting the WC $$ from the other job. Oh well, be grateful Pebbles, right???!!!
Oh yeah, I applied for food stamps and assistance with the electric bill too.

PETERSBURG — In the middle of one this town's many hilly neighborhoods, there's a modest garage-turned-apartment occupied by two guys -- Stormy Hild and Takil Agnew-- determined to reach the top of the hill. Figuratively speaking their summit is the top of the medal stand at the state wrestling tournament, and they officially begin that climb on Saturday.
PETERSBURG — In the middle of one this town's many hilly neighborhoods, there's a modest garage-turned-apartment occupied by two guys determined to reach the top of the hill.
Figuratively speaking their summit is the top of the medal stand at the state wrestling tournament, and they officially begin that climb on Saturday. Fortunately, they're not competing in the same weight class.
Stormy Hild and Takil Agnew are opposites in many respects. Both agree that Hild is the quiet, low-key one while Agnew is more demonstrative and outspoken.
"We're kind of different," Agnew said. "We don't hang out that much."
Added Hild: "But we don't fight or anything. We get along. There's a happy medium there. Our personalities clash a little bit, but we both have respect for each other."
They're an odd couple brought together through a blended family as well as their passion for wrestling. Now stepbrothers, they've shared the garage apartment since their respective parents were married more than a year ago.
"They have different interests and different styles," said Beth Hild, Takil's mother and Stormy's stepmother. She and Davey Hild, Stormy's father, met several years ago when they were working as personal trainers at FitClub.
"They've never fought over anything. If they've had a problem, they've come to us. In hearing about other blended families, I've been pleasantly surprised at their ability to co-exist."
Petersburg PORTA High School wrestling coach Jeff Hill acknowledges that Agnew is the more vocal of the stepbrothers. But the coach said Hild has just the right personality to counterbalance that.
"It's probably better that they're the stepbrothers," Hill said. "More than anyone else on the team, Stormy just lets stuff bounce off him. I've never seen them argue."
Hild and Agnew, two of the top wrestlers on a PORTA team loaded with talent, agree that they usually don't bring wrestling home with them.
"There wasn't enough room in the house, so we've been out there a year or a year and a half," Hild said. "Right now, I have the back room that's closed off and has a little more privacy.
"Hill said if Takil starts beating me all the time, then he'll get the back room. Right now, I'm king of the garage."
Agnew, a 135-pound sophomore, carries a 34-0 record and No. 1 state ranking into Saturday's Class 1A Deer Creek-Mackinaw Regional. Hild, a junior, is 33-2 primarily at 140 pounds but could move up to 145 for the postseason.
The stepbrothers do square off occasionally in the upstairs wrestling room in the PORTA gymnasium where they — and Hill — agree that some of the toughest competition takes place during the course of a season.
Page 2 of 3 - "It's really back and forth," Hild said of practice matches against Agnew. "It depends on the given day and how we're feeling. He's strong for his weight class, and that helps him a lot. His stance and position are really good.
"Compared to what I did my freshman or sophomore year, he's done really well. I had 10 losses last year and finished fourth at state (at 130)."
Agnew went 30-7 as a freshman last season, but competition for varsity spots was tough throughout the year and he lost his spot late in the season.
Hild, meanwhile, finished fourth at Champaign after falling to Canton's Zach Wiedeman 3-1 in the third-place match. Agnew gained a measure of family revenge on Jan. 21 this season when he edged the now-senior Wiedeman 3-2 in a tiebreaker.
Wiedeman and the Canton Little Giants also will be at Deer Creek-Mackinaw on Saturday, when the top three in each weight class advance to sectionals.
"I'd say there would be pressure on anyone but Takil," Hill said of Agnew's unbeaten status. "In his mind, he thinks he can wrestle with anyone in the state, and he can.
"We give him a hard time, but he's very capable of beating anybody. He works hard in the (practice) room; he has great practice partners with Luke Standley one class below him and Stormy one above.
"If all three of them wrestled live, I really don't know who would come out on top."
Wrestling roots
While Davey Hild met Beth when they were working as trainers, both sides of the family brought wrestling traditions to the table.
Takil's father, Tory Clay, was a standout wrestler at Springfield High and Lincoln College. He went 37-9 at 125 pounds his senior year at SHS, 1993, and for many years held the school record for most takedowns in a season.
Davey Hild wrestled at Mount Pulaski when the Hilltoppers still offered the sport, and he later competed at Lincoln College and Illinois College. Hild moved his family to Petersburg when Stormy (whose real name is Sebastian) was in junior high.
"I probably give them more information than they want," Davey said of Stormy and Takil. "I coached Stormy all the way through junior high. I know I give him more information than he wants.
"I worked with Takil the other night down in our basement. We're able to wrestle down there."
Takil gets ample advice from his father as well. Clay, who still lives and works in Springfield, has worked with Takil since Beth and the children moved back from Texas when Takil was in junior high.
"I'm glad Takil didn't choose the sport just because I did it," Clay said. "But once he showed a passion and a love for it, we've tried to pursue it full time.
Page 3 of 3 - "One thing we've worked on is never being caught out of position. A few weeks back, it was one of the few times somebody scored on him. It was like shock therapy for him. We yelled, 'Calm down!' But his eyes lit up brighter than the gym."
Stormy's younger brother, 10-year-old Trey Hild, wrestles in Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation meets; Davey's daughter, 13-year-old Haley, is the stat girl for PORTA's junior high wrestling team, and Beth's daughter, 6-year-old Nana, already competes in the Little Bluejays program.
"It's neat," Beth said of the wrestling lifestyle. "It seems like it's just the way it's supposed to be. But we don't put pressure on the kids. As long as it's fun, they'll keep doing it."

- Buttery soft cheese
- Handmade in Galicia
- Perfect sliced or melted on canapes
- Mild delicious flavor
- Size - About 1.1 lbs/500 g
Tetilla is a favorite of our family: a rich, creamy dairy cheese from the lush countryside of Galicia. This soft, buttery cheese is wonderful with fresh bread, or melted on canapes.
Many think of Spanish cheeses as a sharp Manchego or other aged cheese from the sun baked interior of Spain. In fact Spain is a diverse land, with hundreds of microclimates and over 400 types of cheese. Tetilla is from Galicia, which is filled with rolling green hills punctuated with patches of granite, and many contented cows.
For centuries the milk from these cows has produced beautiful hand-formed cheeses, in the country surrounding the medieval walled city of Lugo. You can see rows of them in the market any day of the week – they are the favorite cheese of the residents in the area.
And what a versatile cheese it is! Sometimes you might like to sit down for a moment with a fresh apple and slices of Tetilla. Another time you might want to make glorious grilled cheeses on crusty bread – or make a tempting cream sauce for asparagus or cauliflower. Actually, any time you think of using a mild cheddar or Gouda, try a rich creamy Tetilla instead.
Pasteurized cow's milk, lactic ferments, animal rennet, salt and calcium chloride.

Richard - Sep 21, 2010
"We had this amazing cheese as a tapa in Madrid. It is mellow and delicious - holds together better than brie but doesn't have the sharpness of a port salut - there really isn't anything like it in the states. As a treat for my husband, who just couldn't stop talking about it, I ordered it through La Tienda. He is delighted - it arrived quickly in a cold-shipment box, in great condition. We are delighted to have found La Tienda, so we can revisit the authentic tastes of Spain."
Kristina V. - May 23, 2010
"A lovely, mild soft cheese that went superbly with the jamon sampler we ordered along with it. Very pleased with shipping speed and packaging. We'll be back for more."
Sarah - Dec 4, 2009
"Soft buttery taste that we and our guests raved over duirng a spanish wine tasting party. This cheese will now have to be permanently stocked in our refigerator for our own enjoyment."

"Okay, who's idiotic idea was it to do this?" I asked the group. This was too stupid. Even for us.
"Yours, Jesse," I turned my head to look at my older brother, Jason. His black frayed hair hung at the top of his blue eyes. I shared the same hair color and eye color but I was smaller than he. Than again, he's also three years older than me.
"Fine, who's idiotic idea was it to listen to me?" I asked as I put my hands on my hips.
"That would be me, Jesse." I smiled and turned to see Terrence. "And you've been begging the rest of us to spend the night in this hell hole." I frowned as he came up and put an arm around my waist. I smiled quickly though as he kissed me cheek. "Plus you can't be totally disappointed. After all, Taylor is here. I know you've been dying to scare the hell out of her." The three of us smirked as Taylor and Kyle both walked in. Hand in hand.
Taylor was what you'd call a stereotype. Too easy to be anything else honestly. Blonde, blue eyes, cheerleader, way too perky, and a royal pain in the neck. Kyle, the cheating ex-boyfriend. Shocker he ends up coming in with Taylor. They make a perfect couple. But what the hell was Kyle doing here. I sure didn't invite him.
"Who invited this moron?" I smirked as Jason glared at Kyle.
Kyle just smiled at Taylor and kept that stupid little smile on his face while he stood in front of my brother.
"Taylor invited me."
"She shouldn't have," I scoffed and folded my arms over my chest, glaring at both of them with Jason.
Taylor smiled slightly, but it was as fake as her blonde hair coloring. "Are you mad I invited your ex-boyfriend, Jesse? I didn't think it would be a problem since you and Terrence are so close now a days. What's the status there anyways?"
"Not every relationship has to be posted on Facebook, Taylor. You should know that. I don't think 'bed buddies' is an option on Facebook's relationship status tab." She frowned and looked at Kyle. "What? Expecting Kyle to stand up for you?" I smirked and turned back towards the house. All five of us were stood at the end of a long cement walkway, outside a chain link fence and its gate.
The house in front of us wasn't necessarily haunted. No one was honestly sure if anyone died in the house or not, since no bodies were ever found. But that's the scary thing.
It had been an orphanage. It had been painted a beautiful blue color. The chain link fence had been brand new and shiny. Amazingly green grass covered the yard. This house had been perfectly fine one morning. Cute little kids ran through the yard. The older kids, chasing them, playing around. Some kids were sitting underneath the big oak tree reading, or playing cards, or a board game. Then when the sun had set and they had all gone inside. That's when neighbors got freaked out. Almost immediately after sunset, screams of desperation, pleading, begging, and utter terror rang through the street. Sure, neighbors called the cops, but once they stepped foot on the yard, the screaming stopped. No one understood what had happened. After a thorough search of the orphanage, the policemen couldn't find the kids or the caretaker. No bodies, no evidence. It was like they vanished into thin air.
And now the five of us were going to spend the night here.
"So, everybody bring a sleeping bag and flashlight?" I turned my head towards Jason. He frowned at me. "You okay?" He asked just above a whisper. I nodded, not having realized I had been staring at the house for so long, thinking. "Alright, let's do this."
We all followed Jason and I was right behind him. Terrence put his arm back around my waist and I didn't care what Dumb and Dumber were doing behind us. I shifted my hand in my sweatshirt pocket to grip the flashlight harder. My nervous system seemed to finally wake up out of its coma as we got onto the porch and Jason fiddled with the door's lock.
"Want some help?" I smirked, as Jason cursed under his breath. He flipped me off as I took his place and pulled a bobby pin out of my hair. I fiddled with the lock myself until I heard a distinct 'click.' I smirked harder and looked at Jason. "Fifteen seconds, new personal best." I laughed as he scowled at me. We all walked through the doorway and I got a chill.
This place was weirder than I thought it'd be. Everything looked normal. As if we just broke into someone's home. There was no dust anywhere, everything looked as if the orphanage was still running, and it make me shiver.
"You guys did say this place hasn't had a new owner since the orphanage situation, right?" I nodded at Taylor's question. "Well why the hell is everything so…." She drifted off, probably trying to come up with a good word.
"Normal," Kyle finished for her.
"Yeah, normal. Why does everything look like someone lives here?" I shrugged and started walking around, only really glancing at photos before finding the living room.
"Okay, guys. Set up camp," I stated and started pushing the couch back off the black and red rug. Terrence and Jason moved the large coffee table out of the way and we all laid down our sleeping bags. I pulled my flashlight out and flicked it on. "I'm gonna go look around. Terrence, Jason. Ya'll want to come?" I asked and started walking, not even waiting for them to say yes or no. An arm slipped around my waist, so that counted Terrence in. And a figure appeared on my right, so there's Jason.
"This is creepy," Jason stated, obviously as freaked out as I am.
"Yeah, I agree. What happened here again?" Jason shrugged and looked at me to answer Terrence's question.
"I'm not really sure. I mean, we've all heard the rumors. People screaming, cops show up, and before they even enter the house, screaming stops and nobody's found. I mean, I don't think that's even possible. There had to of been a reason there were such frightening screams and all of a sudden, nothing." The boys nodded as we continued to walk through the house. We walked through a few rooms until we heard screaming.
"Somebody help!"
"Oh my god! Get away from us!"
Terrence, Jason, and I started running back towards the living room, only to see Kyle and Taylor's flashlights on their sleeping bags and pointed towards a door. They were gone.
"They have to be playing some kind of joke. They had to know you were going to try and scare them." I couldn't tell if Jason was trying to convince me and Terrence, or if he was trying to convince himself. All I could do was stare at the door the flashlights were gazing on. "Jesse, don't even think about it." I turned towards Jason and shrugged.
"If it's just a prank, might as well get it over with, right?" I walked towards the door and hesitated as my hand hovered over the door knob. Everything was silent as I opened the door. It swinging towards me. I took a step back and let Taylor and Kyle's flashlights point inward. I pointed mine in as well. The only thing they lit up was a white wall. I gulped and turned towards Terrence and Jason. "You guys coming?" Terrence looked at Jason before walking up to me and kissing my forehead before walking through the threshold. He went off into the darkness and Jason followed him. I still stood at the doorway. "Guys?" I asked as I walked in the darkness as well.
Lights flickered and I screamed as a black masked figure was only inches from my face. Laughter soon followed. I took deep breaths and a step back. Taylor, Kyle, and Terrence were all standing ten feet away, trying to hold themselves up as they laughed hard. The masked figure took his mask off, revealing Jason, who was also laughing hard.
"Gotcha sis." I smiled softly, as I realized they actually did get me pretty good. My smile soon fell. A look of horror covering my face. "What's wrong?" I gulped and lifted my hand, pointing at the things behind everyone. All four of their faces took on a look of confusion before turning around. We all screamed until the lights went off. Everything was silent after.

|The Black Horseman
| His brothers
| Death (older brother)
Pestilence (younger brother)
War (younger brother)
|Portrayed by:
|James Otis
Famine, also known as the Black Horseman, is the personification of the concept of hunger in the universe. He is a Horseman, along with death, war and sickness. He appears to be the second oldest. Due to modern times and technology, Famine travels in a black wheelchair which represents his black steed. He manifests by taking on human form.
Physical AppearanceEdit
He manifests physically on Earth in the form of a sickly, crippled old man. How he came about obtaining this form and depth is unknown, but the condition of his element may contribute to his appearance.
Famine's frail, malformed appearance is likely caused by agricultural improvements. The embodiment of true hunger, Famine is constantly hungry, and lack of nourishment results in anger. He has an intolerance for failure, punishing any such occurrence with death.
He holds no regard for demons, even the ones who help him. He kills one for failing him, sends two to their deaths, encourages Sam to kill them, and devours them when Sam refuses. He is not too fond of Angels either after Dean sends Castiel to cut off his finger and snatch his ring. He was able to stop Castiel by providing the angel with large quantities of meat, something his vessel Jimmy Novak is very fond of, therefore affecting him. He also later referred to the angel as Dean's dog.
Famine also has a low view of humans, stating that they only require a little push to fall to hunger. He also takes joy in watching their hunger devour them. He also dislikes America, calling it the place where few are satisfied despite everyone eating and eating.
According to Angel Castiel, once fully strengthened, Famine will dominantly march across the lands with authority.
Interestingly, Famine seemed more loyal to Lucifer than his brothers, never differing from the plan, or expressing disdain for him.
With the Leviathans uncontrollable hunger, it is possibly Famine came into existence after their creation but before they were locked away in Purgatory. After Famine is triggered by Lucifer's release from the Cage, Lucifer sends several lower-class demons to care for him, attending to his needs, but most importantly, they collect souls and transport them back to Famine so that he can digest them, which is crucial in restoring and replenishing Famine's power and strength, as the times and environment improvements have severely weakened him to the point where he must be in close proximity of his victims in order to infect them.
My Bloody ValentineEdit
Famine arrives crippled, weak and frail, and is bound to a wheelchair, where lower-level demons have been sent by Lucifer to care for Famine's needs due to his state. Subsequently, Famine infects the people in a small region with his influence. A cupid angel arrives and marks people's hearts, which seemingly elevates their conditions, specifically making them "rabid" for love. Upon investigating the case, Dean and Sam approach Castiel who explains that Famine is close and is being prepared by demons to be restored back to his previous nature so that he can march across the lands with authority and dominion. They travel to a small town restaurant where Castiel feels the presence of a cupid. He traps it telekinetically and demands that it reveals itself, and it eventually complies, appearing in the form of a naked man. The cupid explains that it is just on its appointed rounds and that an earlier case was John and Mary Winchester, who fell in love because Michael had a cupid intervene which resulted in their affection for each other, later resulting in the births of Dean and Sam. After receiving confirmation that Famine is indeed behind this, Dean and Castiel prepare to confront the Horseman so they can take his ring. Faced with Sam's current craving for demon blood due to Famine's power, they leave him at the hotel room. While in the Impala, Castiel explains to Dean that Famine's influence had even affected his own vessel, Jimmy Novak, amplifying his craving for red meat. Castiel teleports inside and tries to get the ring but falls under Famine's influence and remains eating food, which forces Dean to take action.
Back at the hotel, two demons release Sam and prepare to fight, but Sam, unable to resist, drinks their blood and leaves to find Dean. While conversing with the Black Horseman, Dean is told by Famine that he is empty inside which is the reason why he remains unaffected by his influence, Famine mocks him for this. Sam arrives and Famine tries to compel him to drink the blood of his demons, but Sam manages to refuse. Instead he exorcises them, and Famine sucks their essences in and gains more power. Sam turns on Famine, and manages to indirectly weaken the Horseman by exorcising all the demons he devoured from inside him. This weakens Famine long enough that they're able to take his ring.
Back at Bobby's panic room, they detox Sam from demon blood. Dean steps outside and pleads for God to help him.
Hammer of the GodsEdit
It is revealed that Famine's ring, along with the other three rings belonging to the Horsemen, can open Lucifer's Cage so that he can be re-imprisoned.
The Devil You KnowEdit
A Horsemen loyalist named Brady tells Dean that Famine and War are no longer currently active due to the loss of their rings. He admits that placing the rings back on them might not make any difference as they are withered husks.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
As a Horseman, Famine possesses great power, but due to agricultural improvements, he has been significantly weakened. Even weakened, he can easily telekinetically overpower demons and affected Castiel's vessel while he was cut off from Heaven and made him gouge on hamburgers constantly. Lucifer wanted to amp him up back to full power where his powers would increase exponentially. Like his brothers, he requires his ring to help him focus his powers.
- Indestructibility – Famine himself, as a Horseman, cannot be physically destroyed.
- Immortality - Famine cannot die by anything unless the concept that he represents is removed entirely.
- Teleportation - Though weakened, as a Horseman he can teleport.
- Insatiable Hunger - As the embodiment of hunger itself, Famine possesses an unquenchable appetite and constantly craved sustenance, although he can be temporarily satisfied, however it doesn't last long. This gave him the ability to devour pretty much anything - even the essences of demons and human souls.
- Devouring - Famine, as the personification of hunger itself, can devour practically anything in the universe. The only obvious things he cannot devour is God, Death, and other Horsemen. He used soul energies and demonic essences to momentarily cap his hunger. Consumption of what he devours, can strengthen him.
- Influencing Hunger/Gluttony Augmentation - Famine can enhance the senses of hunger in other beings and make all in his range, which even weakened is miles wide, become consumed by their greatest hungers, not just true hunger, but great desires, such as money, sex, love, attention, drugs, alcohol etc, causing them to seek whatever it is they crave most until it results in their destruction. Once infected by hunger, removing the person from Famine's influence will not have any affect, the hunger will just follow them, the only cure is to defeat Famine. The range of this power increases the more powerful he becomes, and the closer to him the person is, the more quickly it affects them. His powers are so great he can even affect a weakened angel. However if a person does not hunger for anything, then they are immune to his power, however to be in this state the person has to be literally dead on the inside. It also appears he can filter out certain people, as none of his demon helpers were consumed by hunger.
- Body locking - Any person who dies through Famine's hunger, their soul does not leave their body on death, but is trapped, so it can be harvested and devoured by Famine.
- Exorcism - Famine was able to forcibly exorcise a demon from its host, with a gesture of his hand, so he could devour it.
- Telekinesis - Famine can mentally affect objects, and even impressively pull demons into his mouth with simple gestures.
- Cosmic Knowledge - As a horseman, Famine possesses an incredible amount of knowledge and understanding of the universe and its workings, although his knowledge is vastly inferior to Death's. He can understand concepts, such as Hunger, the Apocalypse and nature of souls.
- Electromagnetic Interference - Famine can cause electronic devices to malfunction, through his presence or his mood, when he got angry, he caused lights to flicker and explode.
- Telepathy - By touching Dean's stomach, Famine was able to enter Dean's subconscious and discover that Dean was dead on the inside, and as such did not hunger for anything.
- Soul Reading - Like his brother Death, Famine could tell if a person had a soul or not, by looking at them. He could also read and determine the condition/state of that person's soul.
- Invisibility - As a Horseman Famine is naturally invisible and can only be seen if he wants others to see him.
Though literally, nothing in existence can kill or destroy Famine if his attribute still exists, he has a some weaknesses.
- Ring Removal - Without his ring, his corporeal form loses all its powers, except for teleportation.
- Physical Objects - Anything serrated or jagged, or for that matter anything that can be implemented into a weapon, that can be used to pierce can inflict pain upon Famine's physical form. His physical body can be pierced and penetrated identically to how humans sustain infliction.
- Angels - Castiel, even as a "cut off" normal angel, seemed sincerely confident he could simply overpower Famine, but couldn't because the Horseman's powers stopped him.
- God - While even God can't kill him, God can do absolutely anything else to Famine.
- Sam Winchester - While Sam's psychic powers couldn't directly affect Famine, by exorcising the demons he consumed, Famine was left severely weakened to the point where he was effectively defeated, similar to what would've happened if his ring had been removed.
- Death's scythe - Nearly nothing can kill Famine except Death's scythe.
- The First Blade - Empowered by the Mark of Cain and therefore The Darkness, it can kill Famine.
- War (Brother)
- Pestilence (Brother)
- Death (Brother)
- Season 5
- My Bloody Valentine
- Hammer of the Gods (flashback)
- The Devil You Know (mentioned only)
Trivia Edit
- Famine's weakened appearance in comparison to War may be due to the fact that famine is not as major problem in the world as it was before technological advancements in Agriculture, so Famine does not have enough natural energy to sustain himself yet.
- Although it is said that Famine was the third Horseman to rise after War and Pestilence and before Death, in Supernatural it is unknown when he rises, and he appears before Pestilence and Death.
- Famine wears a silver ring with a black stone.
