Patient Comments: Menopause - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience with approaching menopause?
Comment from: 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 28
I had terrible, unpredictable hot flashes that I am still having after 5 years of not having a period.
Comment from: tbtexas, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 18
I just turned 47 and I am in the middle of my heaviest period I have had. For the last few months my periods have been not usual but they have been light. I was surprised with this heavy period (had to go home during work hours to change clothes!) so I decided to do some research. I feel better knowing that this is not so unusual.
Comment from: blackbeltnj, Female (Patient) Published: August 16
I'm 45 years old and my last period was April 30, 2013. For the past few years, my periods were close together, then skipping a month here and there. I did have the emotional roller-coaster ride as well. Anxiety, panic attacks, etc. I thought it was the stress from work. But now, all that went away. My doctor told me I'm menopausal. But since my last period, I feel great. I only had hot flashes for around 2 months or so and zero weight gain. I actually lost weight. Sex drive hasn't changed either. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced my situation. I hope this won't change because I haven't felt this good in years. Right now, I'm loving menopause.
Comment from: NWcorner, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 16
My menstrual period was awful from the first day it arrived at age 10. When I started with mood swings, hot flashes, and drenching night sweats, I thought I was going to go insane. Weight gain has been awful. Can't lose it. I am 48 and haven't had a menstrual period in 5 years. That is the one good thing about menopause. But, getting to that point was terrible. Periods so irregular and heavy. My friends did not understand when I was at the height of my misery (they are older than me and are just starting to have the symptoms). Good luck.
Comment from: Renatta, 45-54 Female Published: August 16
I'm 47 had a good Heath but lately I been having palpitations or rapit heart beats, I don't know this its because I'm closer of having m premenopausal or its something else? P
Comment from: cantgetenuf, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: July 02
been going through this for about six months but even before that I noticed my sex drive going crazy. Is it normal to want sex more as we're going through the change? MY husband thinks its great and so do I but will it last? Has anyone else had this "problem'?
Comment from: shychicka, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: June 25
OMG! yes...and of course 1 year prior I was recovering from a broken left leg and dislocated left ankle.... I gained weight...lost some of it...then had right knee surgery....gained more weight...and of course with Menopause the diets are not working....and am not back to fitness-form....UGH! I never paid attention to my age....but I really hate being 52 :[
Comment from: cindy, 55-64 Female Published: June 14
I had my first change in 1990. It was not a bad as the second time in 2013. This is a bad one. I not only experience hot and cold flashes but horrific mood swings. I experience anger, depression, anxiety, fear, and hopelessness, and get a chemical taste in my nose when I fall apart and cry. I have put on weight in my waist, which has never been a problem. I am afraid I will have to take pills now, which I refused to do in the past. If I don't do something about this, I will have a nervous breakdown. I can understand how women in the old days went crazy and hanged themselves. I have more regular migraines also.

Eusebia, one of the members, was living at level two in the last survey. Her hard work, constant efforts, and behavior typical of a successful woman have helped her improve her economic situation. She is a merchant. She sells everything her neighbors need from her well-stocked shop. She says the business began small, but it is growing with her hard work. She is applying for a loan to buy vegetables, baked goods, milk products, and other items to sell and keep offering her customers variety.
Una de las integrantes es la Sra. Eusebia, quien en su última encuesta mostró un nivel de pobreza dentro del nivel dos. A través del esfuerzo y el trabajo continuo y la aplicación de los comportamientos vitales de una mujer exitosa, ella se encuentra mejorando su situación de pobreza. Ella se dedica a las ventas, ya que tiene una despensa bien surtida con todo lo que necesitan sus vecinos. Comenta que empezó con un pequeño negocio, pero gracias a su esfuerzo está creciendo.
Solicita de este crédito para la compra de verduras, panificados, lácteos y demás insumos para poder seguir con sus ventas y ofreciendo buena variedad a sus clientes.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

1These were the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,#a. [2:1] Gn 29:32–35; 30:18, 20; 35:23. 2Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.#b. [2:2] Gn 30:6, 8, 11, 13, 24; 35:18, 24–26.
3The sons of Judah#The Chronicler had two reasons for placing his genealogy of the tribe of Judah before those of the other tribes, and for making it longer than all the others: his interest in David, who was of the tribe of Judah; and the prominence of descendants of that tribe among the Jews of the Chronicler's time. were: Er, Onan, and Shelah; these three Bathshua, a Canaanite woman, bore to him. But Judah's firstborn, Er, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, so he took his life.#c. [2:3] 1 Chr 4:21; Gn 38:1–5; 46:12. 4Judah's daughter-in-law Tamar bore him Perez and Zerah, so that he had five sons in all.#d. [2:4] Gn 38:7, 13–30; 46:12; Mt 1:3.
5The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.#e. [2:5] Gn 46:12. 6The sons of Zerah were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda—five in all.#f. [2:6] 1 Kgs 5:11. 7The sons of Zimri: Carmi. The sons of Carmi: Achar, who brought trouble upon Israel by violating the ban.#g. [2:7] Jos 7:1, 18–21, 24–25; 22:20. 8The sons of Ethan: Azariah. 9The sons born to Hezron were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.#Chelubai: a variant form of the name Caleb (vv. 18, 42), a different person from the Chelub mentioned in 4:11. #h. [2:9] Mt 1:3.
10#These verses list the immediate ancestors of David. A similar list appears in Ru 4:18–22. Ram became the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, a prince of the Judahites.#i. [2:10] Mt 1:4. 11#j. [2:11–12] Nm 1:7; Mt 1:4–5. Nahshon became the father of Salmah. Salmah became the father of Boaz. 12Boaz became the father of Obed. Obed became the father of Jesse. 13#k. [2:13–15] 1 Sm 16:6–13; 17:13–14. Jesse became the father of Eliab, his firstborn, of Abinadab, the second son, Shimea, the third,#l. [2:13] 2 Chr 11:18. 14Nethanel, the fourth, Raddai, the fifth, 15Ozem, the sixth, and David, the seventh. 16Their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. Zeruiah had three sons: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel.#m. [2:16] 2 Sm 2:18. 17Abigail bore Amasa, whose father was Jether the Ishmaelite.#n. [2:17] 2 Sm 17:25; 19:14; 20:4–13.
18#These verses record the descendants of Caleb. In 4:15 as well as frequently in the Pentateuch (see Nm 13:6; 14:6, 30; 26:65; etc.), Caleb is called the son of Jephunneh. Here his father is called Hezron, perhaps because the Calebites were reckoned as part of the clan of the Hezronites. By his wife Azubah, Caleb, son of Hezron, became the father of a daughter, Jerioth. Her sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.#o. [2:18] 1 Chr 2:24. 19When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur.#p. [2:19] 1 Chr 2:24. 20Hur became the father of Uri, and Uri became the father of Bezalel.#q. [2:20] Ex 24:14; 31:2; 35:30; 2 Chr 1:5. 21Then Hezron had relations with the daughter of Machir, the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old. She bore him Segub.#r. [2:21] Nm 26:29; 27:1; 32:39; Jos 13:31; Jgs 5:14. 22Segub became the father of Jair, who possessed twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.#s. [2:22] Nm 32:41; 1 Kgs 4:13. 23Geshur and Aram took from them the villages of Jair, that is, Kenath and its towns, sixty cities in all, which had belonged to the sons of Machir, the father of Gilead.#t. [2:23] Dt 3:14; Jos 13:30. 24After the death of Hezron, Caleb had relations with Ephrathah, the widow of his father Hezron, and she bore him Ashhur, the father of Tekoa.#u. [2:24] 1 Chr 2:19; 2 Sm 14:2; 2 Chr 11:6.
25The sons of Jerahmeel,#The Jerahmeelites were a clan living in the Negeb of Judah. the firstborn of Hezron, were Ram, the firstborn, then Bunah, Oren, and Ozem, his brothers.#v. [2:25] 1 Sm 27:10; 30:29; Jb 32:2. 26Jerahmeel also had another wife, named Atarah, who was the mother of Onam. 27The sons of Ram, the firstborn of Jerahmeel, were Maaz, Jamin, and Eker. 28The sons of Onam were Shammai and Jada. The sons of Shammai were Nadab and Abishur. 29Abishur's wife, who was named Abihail, bore him Ahban and Molid. 30The sons of Nadab were Seled and Appaim. Seled died childless. 31The sons of Appaim: Ishi. The sons of Ishi: Sheshan. The sons of Sheshan: Ahlai.#w. [2:31] 1 Chr 4:20. 32The sons of Jada, the brother of Shammai, were Jether and Jonathan. Jether died childless. 33The sons of Jonathan were Peleth and Zaza. These were the sons of Jerahmeel. 34Sheshan had no sons, only daughters; he had an Egyptian slave named Jarha. 35Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to his slave Jarha, and she bore him Attai. 36Attai became the father of Nathan. Nathan became the father of Zabad. 37Zabad became the father of Ephlal. Ephlal became the father of Obed. 38Obed became the father of Jehu. Jehu became the father of Azariah. 39Azariah became the father of Helez. Helez became the father of Eleasah. 40Eleasah became the father of Sismai. Sismai became the father of Shallum. 41Shallum became the father of Jekamiah. Jekamiah became the father of Elishama.
42The sons of Caleb,#Another list (see vv. 18–24) of the Calebites, a clan inhabiting the south of Judah. the brother of Jerahmeel: Mesha his firstborn, who was the father of Ziph. Then the sons of Mareshah, who was the father of Hebron. 43The sons of Hebron were Korah, Tappuah, Rekem, and Shema. 44Shema became the father of Raham, who was the father of Jorkeam. Rekem became the father of Shammai. 45The son of Shammai: Maon, who was the father of Beth-zur. 46Ephah, Caleb's concubine, bore Haran, Moza, and Gazez. Haran became the father of Gazez. 47The sons of Jahdai were Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph. 48Maacah, Caleb's concubine, bore Sheber and Tirhanah. 49She also bore Shaaph, the father of Madmannah, Sheva, the father of Machbenah, and the father of Gibea. Achsah was Caleb's daughter.#x. [2:49] Jos 15:16; Jgs 1:12.
50These were sons of Caleb, sons of Hur,#The Hurites were a clan dwelling to the south and west of Jerusalem and related to the Calebites. the firstborn of Ephrathah: Shobal, the father of Kiriath-jearim, 51Salma, the father of Bethlehem, and Hareph, the father of Bethgader. 52The sons of Shobal, the father of Kiriath-jearim, were Reaiah, half of the Manahathites, 53and the clans of Kiriath-jearim: the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites, and the Mishraites. From these the Zorahites and the Eshtaolites derived.#y. [2:53] Jgs 18:2. 54The sons of Salma were Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atroth-beth-Joab, half of the Manahathites, and the Zorites. 55The clans of the Sopherim dwelling in Jabez were the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and the Sucathites. They were the Kenites, who descended from Hammath, the ancestor of the Rechabites.#z. [2:55] Nm 24:21; Jgs 1:16; 4:11; 1 Sm 15:6; Jer 35.

Cold - Poem by Sana Olivia Hernandez
My skin prickles.
I can't feel my fingertips.
I am cold.
Either it's the temperature.
Or I'm dying,
Or I'm old.
I can feel the chill in my bones.
I'd be crazy to eat an ice cream cone.
Or so I'm told.
It seems nice outside.
I'd like to go,
Play in the snow.
But I can't.
I have a cold.
I'd hug to stay warm,
Or accept your homemade soup.
I'd let your love warm me up.
But I refuse.
My heart is too cold.
As you can see,
Cold has manifest mastery.
It comes in many forms.
In you and in me.
God, I'm cold!

Poet's Notes about The Poem
Comments about Cold by Sana Olivia Hernandez
Daniel Brick (6/2/2014 10:33:00 PM)
This poem won't let me sit still to read it. Reading it is not the typical abstract experience of seeing letters form words which form sentences which form ideas that inform the mind. NO. This poem is a wild encounter with a volatile experience that goes from the purely physical sensation to psychological sensation to memory to I don't know what! But it doesn't stay even and still. Its dynamism is exciting. When I finished reading it I saw your note about writing it in a cold classroom. And I can see how writing such volatile images could generate imaginative heat.

Star Ship AJAX Production
Alright guys...let's get back to discussing this production, please! :rolleyes:
NO MORE THREAD-CLOSING BICKERING ALLOWED! :scream: :wtf:
IT'S WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE, got it?
First order of business, how to get money, sets redone and a better space? :confused:
Re: Star Ship AJAX Production
John plans on being out at the hangar this evening. I plan on taking pics of the progress and posting them late this evening just to keep things current here.
John has asked me to come back onto the production and I have been very reluctant given all that has gone down that I tried to prevent from the outset. So reluctantly I have agreed to offer my services in managerial oversight in planning and managing his resources to the max to get him out of this mess. ( Other than that I will be totally hands off in the production...and keep myself at arms length from everything that is going on. John Hughes and crew have asked that I step in and take over in case of an emergency when things get out of hand. I do have misgivings over this since this whole ordeal has been egg on everyone's face....but I have agreed. I hope it does not happen again and that I won't have to do anything which I prefer at this point....) As it stands now his budget will not allow payment on the hangar past January. So we made the decision to find cheap storage ( safe protected from the weather storage ) that would allow his wallet to recouperate. Our plan is to finish the physical construction of the bridge in place before moving out in January, and finish it cosmetically while in storage. I have recommended that he and Charley England focus on scripting and casting and final prep for production. That way he will be ready to hit the ground running when they come out of storage. Maurice's suggestions on how to do things I have been in complete agreement with the whole time. ( I just had my hands tied in following through with John's decisions as a result. I say this to put to ease Maurice's concerns over this time around...) We are now searching for cheap storage. John has mentioned he has found a 2 car garage size facility for $90 a month. I have voiced my concerns that we need to shoot as each part of the script is done and that storage should facilitate pulling necessary set pieces out for on the spot filming. Or at least find nearby space to film in that has the necessary height minimum for the bridge and just try to block our shots tight to work around the lack of space for long shots like we initially intended. This is still a plan in progress and evolving literally by the minute. As for additional sets they will be built as needed at each stage of the scripting immediately prior to filming.

Re: Star Ship AJAX Production
I have one sentence for ALL of you: Get an agreement, even among you, and PUT IT IN WRITING. OK, you can videotape it if you prefer, but make a record of EXACTLY what you've agreed to. Also, if you work with others in the future, GET THAT IN WRITING. Yes, I'm what the English call a solicitor... a documentation lawyer. It's the job of the doc lawyer to cut the business of the courtroom guys. Even if you don't use a lawyer, just reducing agreements to black and white forces people to be express about their hopes and intentions.

By the way thank you for the wise and sage advice. Written agreements pin people down so they can't wiggle out of it. I prefer it that way. Forces people to be repsonsible and uphold their end of the bargain.
Re: Star Ship AJAX Production
First priority is securing the sets you have now.
Second, get a script finalized.
Then, figure out what sets you actually need for the production at hand. When the financial situation improves enough to actually begin production, then only build what you need. If you can get away with a partial bridge, go with it. A finished production will do more to generate interest than a hundred timely updates.
Re: Star Ship AJAX Production
I agree with CRA on this. Fan-filmmakers often sabotage themselves by biting off more than they can chew. It's hard enough to make a film when you can use existing locations and clothing, and adding set, prop and costume construction to that adds expense/time/stress which can make it more difficult to ever actually get into production, let alone through post.
Fan filmmakers constantly miss out on the fact that the cheapest thing to make is actually the most important: THE SCRIPT. I'm not going to win any brownie points here, but the vast majority of fanfilm scripts are not good. They're typically plodding, clichéd, and antidramatic. If you have a good script, you're halfway here, no matter how if any few sets you have.
Think of the movie Lifeboat: it's set entirely on one set (the boat). You could do an entire show on the bridge alone and make it riveting if the story and the acting are good.
My two cents.

P.S. Robert, I've stripped out your postscript. I don't want this discussion of the troubles to be continued. I really want it to end here and now. Thanks for understanding.
Re: Star Ship AJAX Production
Sorry to hear about what you guys have been through so far. I agree with what others have said regarding written agreements. As a business owner, I can assure you that I go into every situation with a great attitude and I hope for the best , however, I always make sure I have written contracts in place that protect everyone if problems occur. When problems have arisen , I'm always thankful that I had a written contract in place to fall back on. I've found this to be true both in business, and with my custody agreement with my ex-wife. Always have signed agreements in place, it's better for everyone.
I thought I'd reiterate a few observations I made during my short time helping the Exeter TTI production:
Lesson 1: Complete as much as possible when you aren't paying for use of your space. Don't think of your studio space and sets as neat things that you love to show off and play with. Think of them as a money sucking burden that is costing you money 24-hrs a day, 7-days a week and do your best to minimize your time there. To the best of my recollection, the Johnsonn brothers were in Austin Studios for three weeks. They created as many bridge stations, props, communication panels, costumes etc as they could prior to occupying the studio space. They stored the parts and pieces in peoples garages, sheds, and living rooms. I remember seeing test footage of the captains chair and a bridge station assembled in someone's living room.
Lesson 2: Because the above is true, utilize the space 24-hrs a day. If at all possible, plan your shoot so that the assembly and finishing of set pieces can be done for 12-hrs a day, and filming can be done during the remaining 12-hrs a day. It was hot, hot, hot in Austin Studios during the TTI filming so construction took place during the day and filming took place at night because it was relatively cooler.
Lesson 3: Plan well. The more time you put in to planning, the more efficiently you can utilize studio space and the talents of everyone involved. This translates in to less wasted money, time, and effort.
I wish you guys success and look forward to seeing your final product.
Re: Star Ship AJAX Production
I also agree that the script is the key element. If you have a good story to tell, you should be able to make it work. In TOS there was constant tension between GR and NBC. NBC wanted more (budget busting) planet shows, while GR was trying to hold down costs by making "bottle shows" that used minimal (if any) original sets. The fact is that some of the best episodes were bottle shows (Balance of Terror). There was also "Gem" which used almost no sets of any kind (it's a polarizing episode, but not because of its lack of elaborate sets). Then there was "Specter of the Gun" which used partial sets because there wasn't enough money to finish them, but that actually turned into a critical plot point. Odds are that if you concentrate on making your script about people (interesting people hopefully) instead of sets and gadgets you'll find a way to make it work with what you have. Personally, I would say that if you've got a finished bridge, you've got a huge start.
Good luck!
Re: Star Ship AJAX Production
Having read a portion of the script, I can tell you we're well on our way. J.C. sent me the teaser, Act 1 and part of Act 2 (which left me hanging in mid-paragraph...DAMNYOU!!!) and I gotta tell ya...WOW! And this is just the first draft...
If I tell you much more beyond that, they'll have to fly up here to VT and shoot me...

Exactly! Yet the funny part is that they all die without seeing anything. It's been like that for thousands of years.
"White privilege" is the liberal religion's version of Original Sin: you are born guilty, and you carry that burden of guilt all your life, and the only way to escape eternal damnation is for white people confess their sin, to bow, kneel and believe the dogma of the Church of Liberalism, genuflect at its altars, honor its saints, fill the collection plate, and never, ever doubt.

Joshua: Biblical Antiquities 20-24
Joshua connects the formative period under Moses with the period of settlement in the land. As in the Bible, the new era of the people's presence in the land is inaugurated with a covenant ceremony. Pseudo-Philo rewrites this to stress the complete fulfillment of all God's promises that possession of the land involves, thus setting the stage for the rest of the book, where Israel repeatedly fails to live up to its side of the covenant.
LAB 20:1 introduces the Joshua cycle. Pseudo-Philo says God established a covenant with Joshua, a statement not found in the Bible. He bases his statement on passages such as Deut. 31:23, 34:9, and Josh. 1:1-9, which imply that God established a special relationship with Moses' successor, but Pseudo-Philo makes the idea of covenant explicit.
LAB 20:1 identifies Joshua as one of the spies sent into Canaan who survived. The rest of the verse summarizes the incident in LAB 15, where the people refused to enter the land because of the intimidating report brought back by all the spies except Caleb and Joshua ( LAB 15:2-3). Pseudo-Philo says, "The lot went forth upon them that they should not see the land because they had spoken badly about it, and on account of this that generation died" ( 20:1). Here it is the people's lack of appreciation for the land itself that prevents their entering it rather than their disobedience, as in 15:5-6. There is no mention of lots in connection with this event either in the Bible or in LAB 15, but in LAB 20:1 the "lot went forth" upon the people. Lots emphasize that the people fail to enter the land because of God's decree.
LAB 20:2 begins the career of Joshua with God's direct address to him, as in Joshua 1, but the words are quite different. In the Book of Joshua, God encourages Joshua to be strong and obedient. In the Biblical Antiquities, God's words are meant to overcome Joshua's reluctance to succeed Moses that is based on his hope that Moses has not really died. God assures Joshua that Moses is indeed dead. The text may be arguing against a position that Moses

I created a sample application that where I have a basic fullscreensize UIImageView set as the background. This app is very simple. All it is is 2 pages. (I will post the code below). The NIB only as UIImageView. I have tried 2 different scenarios -
Is there a problem with releasing NIB files and images.
I have been experiencing some memory leaks.
1) Example 1 (BAD)- I load the image directly in to the NIB. When I push the view, memory goes up by 5MB. When I pop (using NavigationController) the View off of the top, memory only goes down by a 1.5MB. Dealloc is indeed called. I have no IBOutlets. So, to me this is either caching or retaining this image in memory somewhere.
2) Example 2 (GOOD)- Set an IBOutlet for the UIImage view and I put the image in the UIImageview as shown below(I know I could create the UIImageView programmatically, but I am testing memory here not my screen creation skills). This cleans up nicely after itself. It removes the image from memory and I can see in Instruments that memory goes down.
@interface Page3VC : UIViewController {
@property(retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView*backimage;
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
backimage.image = [self getImage:@"hipHome.png"];
-(void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
backimage.image = nil;
[super viewDidDisappear:animated];
//return [UIImage imageNamed:imageName];
return [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:imageName ofType:nil]];

WATCH: Lawrence Taylor, the Giants' crazed dog
Was Lawrence Taylor one of the best ever? Just ask those who coached and played with him.
"It took LT about one practice for everybody to know that he was literally the best player on the field, he was pretty much just unblockable. I remember after one scrimmage saying, 'We have to get him in there … he's starting from Day 1.'" - Bill Belichick, Patriots coach and former Giants defensive coordinator
"He was bigger, faster, stronger than everyone playing his position, so Bill Parcells was redesigning the defense to take advantage of the fact that he has the ultimate weapon. … This guy was the greatest defensive player ever to play." - Beasley Reece, former Giants defensive back
"He will always be identified with 'Let's go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs.' When he got angry, he got angry." - Harry Carson, former Giants linebacker
"He has zero tolerance for bad play. If you were on the field with him your level of play was expected to be very high. … So that was my No. 1 goal: Just don't let him down." - Carl Banks, former Giants linebacker
"He was a really smart football player. He knew what he was doing, he knew what the people around him were doing, and he definitely knew what the offense was doing. … He truly changed the game. The best that ever played." - Belichick
"People say that you're born to play the game of football. I don't know if I was born to play the game of football or not. But of all the things I've done in my life, there is nothing I do better than play the game of football." - Lawrence Taylor
On Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. ET, Showtime brings you a documentary on the life and Hall of Famer career of Lawrence Taylor.

'But you will surely admit that there is a difference between pain-behaviour accompanied by pain and painbehaviour without any pain?' -- Admit it? What greater difference could there be? -- And yet you again and again reach the conclusion that the sensation itself is a nothing. -- Not at all. It is not a something, but not a nothing either! The conclusion was only that a nothing would serve just as well as a something about which nothing could be said. We have only rejected the grammar which tries to force itself on us here. (PI §304)
It positively seems to us as if pain had a body, as if it were a thing, a body with shape and colour. Why? Has it the shape of the part of the body that hurts? One would like to say for example 'I could describe the pain if I only had the necessary words and elementary meanings'. One feels: all that is lacking is the requisite nomenclature. (James.) As if one could even paint the sensation, if only other People would understand this language. (Z §482)
THE REMARK that pain is not a something, but not a nothing either is one of the many Wittgensteinian offerings that make us sigh and pass on, hoping perhaps that someday these mysteries will be resolved, or anyway that there will be other things that prove less bewildering, and reward the fearful struggle to understand. It seems perplexing how anything can be neither a something nor a nothing. One might have thought that something and nothing exhaust all the alternatives; and one stands trembling at the gate of the unwritten metaphysics in which there is anything in between.
Although Z §482 clearly expresses a similar thought, it does not prove to be much help, partly because most of us could honestly plead not guilty to the charge of regarding

Out and about
ABC Melbourne in conjunction with Melbourne University had made some podcasts about Melbourne. There are three, one on food, one on entertainment and one of dirt, death and disease. The idea is that you download them to your personal mp3 player, print out the map and use them for a guided walking tour. I did the printing and the downloading.
Problem one, I don't have a personal mp3 player. But I can use my mobile with earphones. I transferred them to my phone.
Problem two, I realized my phone doesn't have a pause feature. I will have to keep pace precisely with the commentary.
Problem three, no need for me to actually go to Fed Square or Princess Bridge, so I must start the commentary on the way to the city. I did, in the tram.
Problem four, even at maximum volume, it is not loud enough.
Problem five, I was running behind the commentary and became quite hot while trying to catch up.
Problem six, I checked the map and I have to actually walk to Lygon Street Carlton. Screw that.
I was now at Bourke Street and thought this was all very stupid. I already know all these places, streets and lanes well enough. I walked back to Swanston Street and caught the tram home. I then did other stuff around the apartment while listening to two of the commentaries on the computer, the dirt, death and disease one and the food one. The commentaries are wonderful. I learnt a lot. I thought the food one would be boring, but no, very interesting.
But an outing is never a waste. I am not sure of the connection between a galahs and bongs, but in Bourke Street at the dealer end, they are closely associated.

A printing snafu incorrectly identified the location of the Pure Michigan magazine cover as being St. Joseph when, in fact, it's a serene shot of three Holland men patrolling the Lake Michigan shoreline just north of Holland State Park.
Sally Laukitis was delighted to see Holland featured on the cover of the spring/summer issue of Pure Michigan, the state's official travel and tourism guide.
She just wants to make sure Holland gets all the credit it deserves.
A printing snafu incorrectly identified the location of the Pure Michigan magazine cover as being St. Joseph when, in fact, it's a serene shot of three Holland men patrolling the Lake Michigan shoreline just north of Holland State Park.
"It's the first time Holland has been on the cover of the magazine since I've been here," said Laukitis, executive director of the Holland Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Unfortunately, the photo credit in the magazine said St. Joseph. It has been corrected on their website. In the meantime, we're doing everything we can to get the word out that it's actually Holland. We're extremely proud of that."
The cover spot reaffirms Holland as a hot spot for tourism, she said.
It shows Outpost owner Rich Moser and fellow employees Steve Roodhouse and Jim Misiewicz during a tranquil morning near Spyglass condominiums last summer.
"We had a lot of fun," Moser said of the photo shoot. "All the way up and down our coastline, it's becoming a destination for people. It's nice to be able to show off our beaches and our waters."
The upcoming Tulip Time Festival in early May traditionally jump starts the spring/summer tourist season. Laukitis and her staff have a lot to be proud about this year.
The Holland Area CVB has partnered with Tulip Time to promote the upcoming festival with new billboards at Ford International Airport in Kent County and along major highways in metropolitan Detroit and Grand Rapids, Traverse City and South Haven. The signs feature information director Ann Simmons clutching a bouquet of tulips in front of Windmill Island and blooming tulips in the background.
"It's a great shot," Laukitis said.
It's a good time to be promoting Holland-area tourism as well.
The forecast is for a robust spring and summer following hotel bookings in January and February that "are the strongest they've been in about 10-12 years," she said.
"And March (occupancy rates) will be incredibly strong again," she added.
Although the snowfall has continued deep into March, Laukitis remains optimistic that Tulip Time will be the perfect time to show off Holland at its best this spring.
"The snow has helped. The tulips should be right on schedule this year," she said. "It's not 85 degrees (causing the tulips to bloom prematurely) like it was last year."
The Holland Area CVB recently launched a new mobile app highlighting important tourism happenings in the area. It can be downloaded at: m.holland.org.

I've been seen by Dr. Jorgensen three times, I can say that I've been very happy with the visits! To start off, the office staff is quite courteous and helpful! I came into the office, of course asthma problems, but another patient was wearing cologne that had me having an asthma attack! The office immediately were very sorry and moved me to another room and noted bold signs on the windows, so that incoming patients would understand the severity of sharing the air!! I just love office staff, as well as the back office , I've been just as pleased! Dr. Jorgensen is not a doctor that is in and out, at least not with me! He's spent quality time to understand my needs of medical care! I trust him as I explain to my family that he knows his profession! You wouldn't be sorry to book an appointment with him....
The most careing doctor I have ever had. Listens to my needs and addresses tem promptly. I would recommend Dr. Jorgensen to anyone and everyone needing high quality allergy and asthma care.
Dr. Jorgensen is brilliant and very caring. The wait for an appointment is not his fault, as he works very hard, but it's just a reflection of what a special and terrific doctor he is.

Ahhh yes.. Compute magazine. I remember spending hours typing out the programs for my VIC-20 computer, if anyone remembers that! In fact, I think I still have a whole bunch in storage.
Then there was the joy of printing them out on a NOISY dot matrix printer. Had to close the door to the room and go downstairs just to get away from the sound of it. SCRREEEEEEECHHHHHH ... SCRREEEEEECCCCCHH.

For me it was that bi-plane "pong" type game that was 2-player at the arcade. You flew around a 1D screen and could have a single shot in the air at any one time, but had to wait until it left the screen to "fire" again....
I guess the first REAL computer game I played was that text-based Cave Adventure compiled on COBOL.

1. Re: Sun ONE App Server 6.1 newbie - please advise807581 Sep 22, 2007 12:55 PM (in response to 807581)There is no such thing as Sun App Server version 6.1. There is a version 6.5 which is EOLed soon to be EOSLed, so I wouldn't recommend using it nowdays. By the way, JDK 1.4 and J2EE 1.4 are not supported by 6.5 - it goes only as far as jdk 1.3.1 and J2EE 1.2.
If you really need a modern, enterprise ready, stable and FREE product download and use Sun App Server 9.1 which was released a week ago: https://sdlc1e.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=BCA8BF6E7E7124D0A267DEE26A2D7B18
All the docs can be found at: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1343.4
Hope this helps.

I use these in my Xbox 360 controllers and LED flashlight for fishing/hunting. They work flawlessly, have high power, and last last last. One 24x pack of these has lasted me over 1 1/2 yrs playing my XBOX 360 with friends, and powering 4 different controllers!! They may be weaker than brand Dura#%$*, but do the math on cost, and you will save $$$$$$$$ with these. I will be purchasing these for a long time.

In my review above ("Dave with a still-unusable camera") I reported DOA AA batteries. I returned them to the store and had a conversation with the clerk about the quality of the batteries. She assured me that my experience was unique and that there had been very few if any returns of these batteries. So I decided to swap for a new package. My camera is functional again, and so far, so good. The 1st pair of batteries have already lasted considerably longer than my rechargeable batteries last between charges, so that's a good start.

Alkaline batteries: Good deal when on sale
By Kim
from Michigan
About Me Professional
I've never been able to determine that these batteries have a shorter usable life than more expensive "name brands." Much of what one purchases from HF is a "get what you pay for" proposition, but these batteries are a good deal, particularly when they run a coupon or sale on them.
Good value
By The Discriminating Shopper
from Ann Arbor, MI
These AA batteries are a "shockingly" good value. 24 batteries for an excellent price. Last as long as the name-brand batteries that keep going and going.... Just do NOT toss them into a fire!
high quality batteries, very satisfied, as I was before!

I have used Thunderbolt batteries for years. The latest (yellow) version seems to be better than the original red version. I use them in; clocks, metal detectors, motion sensors, flashlights, indoor/outdoor thermometers and cameras. Never had a problem.

By Dan

Nice drawing... and OMFG they got combat camels!
This group contains a lot of stuff of the C&C community. Mod news, game screen shots and C&C humor(funny c&c moments). Join us if your a great fan of C&C!
a small brief update all about concepts and mod's future.
Posted by flashknight33 on Apr 17th, 2013
hey guys :) welcome back in a new update
first of all we would like to thank you for your patience and apologize about our way too long inactivity compared to what we have used to be XD , any way this time i wrote to clarify some issues about the mod status.. basically it is not dead and wont be so until this moment but our time is too small to make any think major in the mod due to uni and RL but by the time of the summer vacation i'm expecting a havoc in its progress how ever we didn't forget it and we are preparing stuff that should be done once the vacation time so i thought about revealing some by now to give you and idea for what you should expect later on so i made this update to be concepts related
so where we are :-
1- Nod mobile stealth generator concept v3
it still has the same function as in TS but with some modifications now it can generate stealth field while moving but it cant stealth itself and it is smaller than that when in deployed mode
for history lover here are its old concepts
if you are following the mod you may remember that the second version is already made but due to some concerns about its design and if it is fitting nod or not it will be shifted to the allies as a new unit under project Zeus which will be revealed later
2- Nod attack bike
it has also seen some design changes going back close to TS design but also another reason is TW models consumes a lot of polys in a way that cant be fixed since it is compose of the bike and the biker who take most of the poly count in useless manner that is not much needed when dealing with generals engine
3- Nod specter artillery
this will be the main specter while KW one will replace CC4 one for the crawler
4- as for GDI the talons got their own predator tank now but with different role since the titan already has its job covered , now its armed with 4 small cannons and side rockets for hunting small fast enemy units that titans may not catch
also we have got many Global Confederation related stuff in hand
5- GC hover harvester redesigned
6- GC war factory
7- GC gun ship
8- GC space marine
yes GC has got the strongest well armed infantry how ever they are expensive for routine use as GC dont relay on infantry that much and the reason for that will be cover later in the story
9- GC X Artillery
fire multiple grenades to cover wide areas and can be used to clear garrisoned buildings
10 - GC stinger
just flying infantry with rocket launchers
11 - GC claw artillery
a semi-epic unit as its details will be covered latter
12 - GC support orca
used for transportation and supplying some buildings like the warfactory with materials beside some special powers roll
13- GC M.D.C. aka mobile drone command center
another experimental semi-epic unit ,its roll is more about scouting rather than direct attack
it produces mainly spy drones and some offensive variants for its own protection and small range attacks,in short it is your eye in the sky
as sporadic stuff :-
14 - Chinese Gatling Dragon
uses small shells as bullets to shred enemy tanks in to pieces , limited to tank general
15 - Chinese Gatling Heavy Truck
for infantry general it works as an APC too
16 - Egyptian Empire battle chariots
after getting destroyed the riders jumps out and treated as normal archer infantry
17 - Jap kamikaze sub-carrier
a new hybrid jap unit this time it can work as a submarine and as a small kamikaze drone aircraft carrier
18 - allies chrono harvester
yes they are going to have it one more here
also we will try to replicate ra2 cross-tech mechanics however by now im not sure if it can be done in the right way but at least as a work around you will need to capture enemy specific buildings to get the new hybrid units and these are some examples for this
19 - USA upper lord
for sure you will have to capture a Chinese warfactory to build it , it is more stronger and tougher using 2 dual barreled cannons and anti infantry - anti air rocket system ,it contains auto-repair system but dose not have any bunker or speaker add-ons and they didnt manage make this turtle move faster yet :P
20 - GLA desert raider
also gla commanders got their share from Chinese arsenal as they mounted the gattling cannons to their camels to cover their lake in tanks ,its as cheap as one gattling tank but carrier power of two with fast production system however they are treated as infantry can be easily killed specially with fire and toxins , btw any metal slug fans around here XD ?
21 -USA C.M.P. aka chrono mobile patriot battery
capture the allies battle lap and this is all yours
22 - GDI falcon attack bike
that is what happens when you lit your commanders to allie with nod ,how ever due to GDI strict protocols for forbidding Tibrium based weaponry they mounted two rail guns on its bake beside a PDL system for protection and it retains Nod bikes speed
Nice drawing... and OMFG they got combat camels!
lol, dat camel. I love metal slug.
when killed, the camel should run aimlessly... :P
FINALLY, MY FAVORITE MOD is ALIVE.
PLEASE do not give up and keep up.
Really nice drawings! :)
Oh this is awesome, I would love to see the RA2 Capture system in here, that system is awesome! And these units look awesome!
im glad yah are still working on this mod :)
great draws!
Thanks mina!
love whatching the drawings go from drawings to models to full blown in game units
awesome concepts!
Awesome (as usual). But i think that USA upper lord is more suitable for Global Confederation

The two sides met on the opening day of the season, with Daniel Sturridge's sole strike handing the Reds the win, and the defender is now keen to avenge the defeatStoke City full-back Erik Pieters is looking for "revenge" on Liverpool when the two sides clash at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday.
Mark Hughes' side travelled to Anfield on the opening day of the season, falling to a 1-0 defeat courtesy of Daniel Sturridge's strike - but Jonathan Walters saw a last-minute penalty saved.
|Stoke are 8/1 with Betway to beat Liverpool without conceding
"I made my debut at Anfield and it was an enjoyable experience, apart from the result of course," the Dutchman told the club's official website.
"We want to get our revenge, because the defeat still leaves a little bit of a sour taste in our mouths, having missed a last minute penalty to earn a point.
"We have a strong record at home though and we will want to defend that, so I'm looking forward to Sunday's game, and hopefully getting the three points on the board."
Pieters has made 19 appearances for Stoke since completing his close-season move from PSV.

Mailbag: Why get excited for National Signing Day?
Olin Buchanan
Rivals.com College Football Senior Writer
A high ranking on National Signing Day does not help in the BCS standings. Winning in February doesn't count toward bowl eligibility -- not directly, anyway.
We've seen highly rated players fail and two-star prospects flourish enough to know that recruiting -- and recruiting rankings -- is nowhere near an exact science.
But on the first Wednesday in February, radio and TV shows spend hours upon hours discussing recruiting. Actually, it's a year-round obsession for many college football fans. Why is that?
That's a question to be addressed in this week's mailbag.
Got a question? Click here to send it to Olin's Mailbag
Why do recruiting ratings seem to dominate the media landscape when it's on the field where the recruits will be compared three to four years from now?
Jim in Laramie, Wyo.
Everybody is hoping this five-star prospect or that four-star recruit will choose their team, fill a need and lead the way to glory.
Sometimes it happens that way. Sometimes it doesn't. But that's very much like the NFL draft. Sometimes you hit big with a Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers. Sometimes you're disappointed with a Ryan Leaf or Jamarcus Russell.
There always will be critics who will point out the errors that the recruiting analysts make.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to interview former Michigan receiver Braylon Edwards, who was announcing his plan to fund a scholarship at his alma mater. As I introduced myself as a reporter for Rivals.com, Edwards said, "Rivals? You guys had me as a two-star."
Fair enough.
Remember, though, that Tom Brady wasn't drafted until the sixth round.
There have been numerous four- and five-star prospects who didn't pan out, but I cannot remember one that college coaches didn't aggressively recruit.
Reeling in a bunch of four- and five-star recruits doesn't guarantee future championships. But going back to 2002, a team with a recruiting class ranked among the nation's top five either won or played for a national championship within the next four years.
Rivals.com ranked Texas' recruiting class No. 1 in 2002. The Longhorns won the national championship in 2005.
Ohio State was ranked fifth in 2002 and played for national championships in 2006 and '07.
LSU was ranked No. 1 in 2003 and second in '04. The Tigers won the national championship in '07.
USC was ranked third in '03 and won the national championship in '04 and played for it in '05.
Florida was ranked No. 3 in 2003 and won the national title in '06. The Gators also ranked second in '06 and first in '07 and won the national title in '08.
Oklahoma's 2005 class was ranked third. The Sooners played for the national title in 2008.
Texas' '07 recruiting class was ranked fifth. The Longhorns played for the national title in '09.
Alabama followed a No. 10 recruiting ranking in '07 with a No. 1 ranking in '08 and went on to win the national championship in '09.
Auburn's 2010 recruiting class was ranked fourth and included five-star prospect Cameron Newton, who led the Tigers to the national title.
Several other teams with highly ranked recruiting classes went on to win conference championships, too.
Again, there are examples that didn't work out. Tennessee's class was ranked third in '07 and the Volunteers haven't managed more than seven wins in a season since. Miami and Florida State have been inconsistent on the field despite some high recruiting classes. Georgia has faltered despite strong recruiting classes.
Still, there have been enough examples of highly rated recruiting classes developing into championship teams in the next few years. That's more than enough reason to keep fans interested.
In addition, being able to taunt your archrival when a five-star recruit chooses your school doesn't hurt, either.
With Alabama playing Penn State, LSU playing Oregon and Georgia playing Boise State in non-conference games this fall, has the SEC finally started scheduling real games against decent non-conference competition for a change?
Sam in Pasadena, Calif.
I hate to be put in a position in which I have to defend the SEC, but let's look at the entire picture here.
It's true that last season, every SEC team except Vanderbilt scheduled an FCS opponent. But every major conference has teams that schedule FCS opponents -- and that's good because those smaller schools need those games to fund their programs.
I don't have a problem with the giants scheduling one FCS team. But it's going too far when "Big Six" teams schedule two. By the way, one of those "Big Six" teams that scheduled two FCS opponents was Arizona State of the Pac-10. Arizona, Oregon, Cal and Stanford also played FCS teams.
Last season, SEC teams scheduled 15 "Big Six" opponents, including Penn State, Clemson, Texas A&M, North Carolina, West Virginia, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Connecticut, Louisville and Oregon.
LSU faced two "Big Six" opponents in non-conference play that posted nine wins (North Carolina and West Virginia).
USC fans such as you often send me messages boasting about USC's strength of schedules and rightly so. Over the years, USC hasn't ducked anybody.
But last season's non-conference schedule really wasn't that challenging. USC always plays Notre Dame, which was pretty good. The Trojans also played Hawaii, a respectable WAC team. But their other non-conference games were against Virginia and Minnesota.
Not every SEC team plays a demanding non-conference schedule. But that can be said for virtually every conference.
Last season, I received an e-mail from a Wisconsin fan criticizing Alabama's non-schedule. But then I pointed out that Alabama's was actually stronger than Wisconsin's. Both played San Jose State. Both played an FCS opponent (Wisconsin played 2-9 Austin Peay, Alabama played 6-5 Georgia State). Wisconsin played 2-11 UNLV, Alabama played 3-9 Duke. Wisconsin played 6-6 Arizona State, while Alabama played 7-6 Penn State.
That's just an example to illustrate that, for the most part, all conferences schedule similarly. Most teams play a good, comparable opponent (perhaps an annual rival). They typically play an FCS opponent. After that, they often fill in the schedule with lower-division Big Six teams or teams from non-automatic qualifying conferences.
For example, South Carolina of the SEC played archrival Clemson and FCS member Furman. The Gamecocks also faced Southern Miss, a Conference USA team that went 8-5, and Troy, an 8-5 team out of the Sun Belt Conference.
That's not too bad.
Oregon scheduled much the same way. The Ducks faced Tennessee of the SEC, FCS member Portland State and Mountain West member New Mexico, which finished 1-11. Cal, Arizona and Stanford were similar.
So before criticizing the non-conference games of other leagues, remember that not every team schedules like Oregon State, which played TCU, Louisville and Boise State.
The Beavers went 1-2 in those games and failed to qualify for a bowl, so they probably won't schedule that way again. In fact, they open the 2011 season with FCS member Sacramento State.
Vince Ferragamo is a California alum as well as a Nebraska one, so we get credit for him as a Super Bowl starter (Where the Super Bowl QBs come from, Feb. 4). That puts Cal alone in first in regards to Super Bowl starters. Don't try to lump Cal with football lightweights like Alabama and Notre Dame!
Patrick in Sacramento, Calif.
Kudos for your sense of humor, but yours was one of more than a dozen responses I received from Cal fans wanting to claim Ferragamo.
That's sad, really. It's kind of like a divorced guy whose ex-wife has remarried, but he still calls her his wife.
Let Vince go, Cal fans, and get along with your lives.
By that rationale, Florida could claim Heisman winner Cameron Newton. After all, Newton originally went to Florida.
When a player transfers from one school to another, he's no longer "from" the first school.
Troy Aikman originally went to Oklahoma. But he's from UCLA. Stan Humphries, the Chargers' quarterback in Super Bowl XXIX, began his college career at LSU but transferred to Northeast Louisiana (now known as Louisiana-Monroe).
Face it, Cal fans: Ferragamo left you. He's a Husker.
Can you comment on the ever-increasing trend of oversigning in college football? And also why we see this is done a lot more in the SEC? Shouldn't this be regulated at the NCAA level and not by conferences?
Keith in Austin, Texas
I think NCAA should close the loopholes that allow programs to sign more than 25 players per year.
Teams are supposed to be limited to 25 scholarships a year, with a maximum total of 85 players on a roster. But programs get around that by bringing in players early so they can count against the previous year's signing class.
Some teams sign several players that are borderline academically. Those that qualify get a scholarship, and those that don't qualify don't count against the signing class.
Personally, I think the 25/85 rule should be rigid. That would put even more pressure on coaches to make sure a prospect is academically sound and of good character, but shouldn't that be the case anyway?
Sometimes, a program loses a player for reasons that aren't its fault. That includes career-ending injuries and defections to the NFL. But what's the old saying? Those are the breaks.
Of course, a lot of coaches and recruiting fans would disagree with me -- some vehemently -- on the subject. I understand that. Still, I don't think a player who signs a national letter of intent in 2011 should be counted as part of the class of 2010.
LSU and Alabama aren't dominating the SEC? (Next great coaching rivalry?, Feb. 4) Are you blind or just not that smart? Alabama won the national championship in '09 and LSU two years before that. Yes, Florida has won it twice in the past five years, but did you not see the Gators this past season? The SEC West has won the SEC championship three out of the past four years. But Florida was dominating the SEC that entire time? Gee, I guess facts really are irrelevant, aren't they?

Actually, I didn't write that Florida was dominating the SEC. Rather, I just wrote that Alabama and LSU have not dominated the SEC the way Ohio State under Woody Hayes and Michigan under Bo Schembechler dominated the Big Ten in the 1970s.
It's true that Alabama and LSU have combined for four SEC championships in the past 10 years, but that's not domination. Heck, neither even won the SEC West this past season.
Dominance would be Oklahoma, which has won seven Big 12 championships since 2000, or Ohio State, which has won or shared each of the past six Big Ten championships. USC won or shared seven consecutive Pac-10 championships from 2002-2008. Virginia Tech has won three of the past four ACC titles. Boise State has won or shared eight of the past nine WAC championships.
That's dominance. So is what Michigan and Ohio State did from 1968-84: That duo either won or shared every Big Ten title in that span.
Since the turn of the century, five different teams have won the SEC championship. Florida and LSU have won three each. Georgia and Auburn have won two. Alabama has won one.
That there are so many SEC programs that compete at a high level makes it unlikely any team will dominate the conference, at least not at the level that some powerhouses in other conferences have.
If you can't see that, you're either blind or just not that smart.
