We are working on a project to add vector map data from OSM and NAVTEQ to a iOS GPS app.
Currently, the app displays raster map images and provides moving map navigation features. We now want to take it a step further by integration vector maps but don't know where to start.
Guidance from developers with experience on GPS navigation would be great.
Here is the brief on the requirements:
Target Devices: iOS. C++ is preferred for the core for future compatibility with other platforms.
Data integration and packaging: Map data source: - NAVTEQ - OpenStreetMap
File format: - Ideal for mobile devices with considerations of device limitations. - Either find an already established format, or create one in house.
Compiling: - Determine a format for source data (Shp, MapInfo etc) - Compile source format to required format.
Map rendering engine: Display of maps: - Vector map view will be separate to the current raster map view. - Render data into lines, points, polygons etc in real time. Tiled or pre-rendered is not acceptable. - 2D birdseye view. (3D is planned for future versions). - Shade relief to illustrate elevation. - Display user generated data such as routes, tracklogs, waypoints. - A scale, e.g. 500 metres. - Speedy performance is essential to provide better user experience. - Good examples would be the Tom Tom iOS app. Map Interactions: - Pan, Zoom, rotate. - Make use of multitouch functionality. Search - Address, locations, POI (Geo Coding) - Address from location (Reverse Geo Coding)
Style sheets - Easily customise the look of the map been displayed. - Every element can be cusomised.
We would like to find out where to start our research. What libraries and SDKs are out there that are worth spending the time investigating?

The Golden Retriever
The Golden Retriever is a new product on the market. The Retriever is a much more user friendly than others. You pull the ball toward you and the ball engages into the claw making it much easier to get your ball as opposed to having to land on top of the ball. The claw allows you to pull balls out of the mud much easier than the standard retrievers. It comes in 7' ($19.99) (with a bag clip), 12' ($24.99) and 18' ($34.99).

Emergency vs. urgent care: It pays to know the difference for TRICARE enrollees
Emergency vs. urgent care: It pays to know the difference for TRICARE enrollees

355th Medical Group

DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz.
-- When illness or injury strikes, Airmen can save time and money by knowing what TRICARE considers emergency, urgent and routine care.
Treating a moderate steady fever as an urgent need or a sprain as an emergency can equal longer waits and more out-of-pocket costs. Active-duty servicemembers and their families should know the differences between these three types of care:
Emergency Care
Anything that could reasonably threaten life, limb or eyesight without immediate treatment is considered an emergency by TRICARE. This includes maternity and psychiatric emergencies believed to be serious medical conditions. Examples of emergency situations are:
· Severe bleeding
· Chest pains
· Inability to breathe
· Spinal cord or back injury
· Severe eye injuries
· Broken bones
In an emergency, anyone on base should call 9-1-1 or immediately go to their nearest emergency room. Within 24 hours after receiving treatment (or the next duty day), TRICARE patients are encouraged to call their primary care manager. This also applies if the visit resulted in an inpatient admission.
If follow-up specialty care is needed as a result of an emergency room visit, please contact your PCM for a referral and prior authorization. If you are assigned to a PCM on base, please call the 355th Medical Group at (520) 228-2778. If you have an off-base PCM, please contact their office directly.
Urgent Care
An illness or injury that won't cause further disability or death if not treated immediately, but needs medical attention to keep it from evolving into a greater threat, requires urgent care. Examples of urgent care include:
· Minor lacerations
· Urinary tract infections
· Earaches
· Migraine headaches
· Sprains
· Rising fever
Airmen and their families with on-base PCMs should only use off-base urgent care services if appointments are not available and they receive prior authorization from the base clinic. Even after normal hours, families with on-base PCMs are required to call the 355th MDG and talk to the nurse triage service to determine what care is needed and whether a visit to an urgent-care facility is authorized.
If families with on-base PCMs are not sure whether the situation is urgent or an emergency, please call the 355th MDG any time for clarification.
If families are not assigned on base, they need to contact their off-base PCM for clarifications. Also, members can call TriWest Healthcare Alliance at 1-888-TRIWEST with any questions. Families that don't receive prior authorization for an urgent care visit may be billed for TRICARE Prime's point of service option, which includes additional cost shares and a deductible.
Routine Care
TRICARE defines routine care by what it's not. If it's not an emergency and it doesn't qualify as urgent care, then it's routine.
Also known as primary care, routine care can include well-baby/child care, preventive care appointments, general office visits for treatment of symptoms, follow-up care with the doctor or ongoing care for chronic illnesses and conditions. Routine care is provided by medical professionals at the 355th MDG.
If an Airman or family member visits an urgent care facility without authorization from the medical group, they may pay more out-of-pocket costs.

Did You Know?
While our monthly heartworm preventives also prevent and control some types of intestinal worms, they do not prevent tapeworms. So, preventing tapeworms requires preventing fleas, or preventing your pet from hunting (that can be challenging!). Tapeworms do not typically cause illness in pets, and are easy to treat.
Pet Concerns?
Take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions section.
Chances are, your question will be answered there. If not, give us a call!

I love this mascara, I don't know why there are even bad reviews because it is actually better than sex. I used to use Tarte's Lights, Camera, Flashes mascara but I hated that it didn't come off my eyelashes. This mascara I have no problem washing off my lashes. I suggest everyone buys this mascara, you won't regret it.
Eddie (yes, I'm a girl)
I love, love, love the Better Than Sex Mascara. I'm in my forties and I'm allergic to everything, and have always been allergic to EVERY type of mascara. I heard so many great things about Better Than Sex mascara and saw my friends wearing it and they looked incredible, so I took a shot and ordered the travel size. I was overjoyed when I tried it and no itching, no hives, no swelling - it looked absolutely fantastic, and I don't mean to break my arm patting myself on the back - it was all the Better Than Sex mascara's doing!!! Since then, I ordered some for my mother who is 84 and LOVES it! I got my teenage niece some and while her father was not thrilled with the name, he did say her eyes looked amazing when she came downstairs with it on her lashes! Then I had to have more so I got the Twice The Sex duo, which has the full size and the travel size in one box. I don't go anywhere without it. I have one in my purse, one in my powder room, and one in my go bag (my travel bag that is pre-packed for rushed travel issues). to all the people who have reviewed this poorly, I have to wonder if you are not using it correctly as we have had no issues with flaking or raccoon eyes, even after one evening I was so tired from traveling that I crashed in my bed without taking it off. I awoke the next morning and my lashes looked great, no flakes or raccoon eyes, and nothing on the pillow either!!!!!! You simply cannot find a better mascara than this and what makes it the very best ever is that it is cruelty-free. Good for you Too Faced!!!
I REALLY wanted to love this mascara. When applied, it makes my lashes look incredible... However, through the day, it turns into a smudge-fest... It's such a bummer. :(
Love it!!! Best mascara ever!! ❤❤❤
Michele T.
I do not understand the negative reviews on this mascara!!! I've tried just about every high end brand out there, all different kinds & this is by far my favorite! Definitely gives volume & length, and curls lashes also! The only mascara that tops this is the younique 3d mascara, but I don't have the time every morning to apply that- better than sex is my daily mascara & I LOVE it!!! Highly recommended in my opinion!
Cassanda Aldrich
This is an amazing mascara!!! I've never gotten results as stunning as this! It's almost like beong naturally blessed but there's no way my lashes ever looked as good as they do now. Mind you, I previously used Urban Decay's Perversion and Tarte's light camera lashes. Needless to say, I'm now a firm believer in Too Face's Better than Sex mascara!
Can confirm after months of dating... This mascara is actually better than sex!!! (I've now broken up with boyfriend) Thank you too faced for helping me realise that my lashes and I deserve to be intimately satisfied Xoxo
Jennifer Corona
I have long lashes And this is the best mascara I've ever tried . It doesn't clump up and it adds volume and length . I always get compliments on my lashes and some people even ask if they're false

The dual action of estrogen hypothesis

Estradiol (E2) can act in the brain in a relatively fast manner (i.e., seconds to minutes) usually through signaling initiated at the cell membrane. Brain-derived E2 has thus been considered as another type of neurotransmitter. Recent work found that behaviors indicative of male sexual motivation are activated by estrogenic metabolites of testosterone (T) in a fast manner, while sexual performance (copulatory behavior per se) is regulated by brain E2 in a slower manner via nucleus-initiated actions. This functional division between these two types of action appears to generalize to other behavioral systems regulated by E2. We propose the dual action of estrogen hypothesis to explain this functional distinction between these two different modes of action. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 29 (0 ULg)
Reversing song behavior phenotype: Testosterone driven induction of singing and measures of song quality in adult male and female canaries (Serinus canaria)

In songbirds, such as canaries (Serinus canaria), the song control circuit has been shown to undergo a remarkable change in morphology in response to exogenous testosterone (T). It is also well established that HVC, a telencephalic nucleus involved in song production, is significantly larger in males than in females. T regulates seasonal changes in HVC volume in males, and exposure to exogenous T in adult females increases HVC volume and singing activity such that their song becomes more male-like in frequency and structure. However, whether there are sex differences in the ability of T to modulate changes in the song system and song behavior has not been investigated in canaries. In this study, we compared the effects of increasing doses of T on singing and song control nuclei volumes in adult male and female American Singer canaries exposed to identical environmental conditions. Males were castrated and all birds were placed on short days (8L:16D) for 8weeks. Males and females were implanted either with a 2, 6 or 12mm long Silastic implant filled with crystalline T or an empty 12mm implant as control. Birds were then housed individually in sound-attenuated chambers. Brains were collected from six birds from each group after 1week or 3weeks of treatment. Testosterone was not equally effective in increasing singing activity in both males and females. Changes in song quality and occurrence rate took place after a shorter latency in males than in females; however, females did undergo marked changes in a number of measures of song behavior if given sufficient time. Males responded with an increase in HVC volume at all three doses. In females, T-induced changes in HVC volume only had limited amplitude and these volumes never reached male-typical levels, suggesting that there are sex differences in the neural substrate that responds to T.

Besides their long-lasting effects mediated by a modulation of gene transcription, brain-derived estrogens can rapidly regulate (within minutes) reproductive behaviors. In vitro, the activity of aromatase (AA), the enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens into estrogens, is also regulated on a similar short time-scale, via phosphorylation of the enzyme resulting from changes in neuronal activity or glutamate release. Acute changes in AA have been documented ex vivo in specific brain regions following exposure to social or stressful stimuli but the mechanism underlying these regulations is not known. To investigate whether glutamate is implicated in these rapid changes in AA, male quail received a unilateral injection of kainate in the medial preoptic nucleus (POM). The left and right preoptic areas were collected 20 min later and assayed separately by the tritiated water technique for AA. As shown previously in preoptic explants maintained in vitro, AA was downregulated in the kainate-injected hemisphere as compared to the non-injected side. To determine whether the decline in AA detected in the POM after a sexual interaction could be mediated by an increased release of glutamate in this region, extracellular glutamate concentration was measured by in vivo microdialysis with a probe implanted in the POM of sexually mature males. Dialysate was collected every 3 minutes over three periods of 15 min when the male was (1) alone, (2) allowed to freely copulate with a female and (3) alone again. A transient rise in extracellular glutamate concentration was observed specifically and immediately after the expression of cloacal contact movements, when semen is transferred to the female. Glutamate returned to a basal level after the female was removed. Together, these results indicate that the mechanism of acute regulation of aromatase activity by glutamate identified in vitro is potentially responsible for the acute regulation of the enzyme observed in vivo following copulation. As rapid changes in brain estrogen synthesis and its actions are apparently related to the control of sexual motivation rather than sexual performance, follow up experiments should now determine whether the release of glutamate in the POM occurs in parallel with an increase in motivation or follows the termination of the copulatory sequence.

Is it useful to view the brain as a secondary sexual characteristic?

Many sex differences in brain and behavior related to reproduction are thought to have evolved based on sexual selection involving direct competition for mates during male-male competition and female choice. Therefore, certain aspects of brain circuitry can be viewed as secondary sexual characteristics. The study of proximate causes reveals that sex differences in the brain of mammals and birds reflect organizational and activational effects of sex steroids as articulated by Young and collaborators. However, sex differences in brain and behavior have been identified in the cognitive domain with no obvious link to reproduction. Recent views of sexual selection advocate for a broader view of how intra-sexual selection might occur including such examples as competition within female populations for resources that facilitate access to mates rather than mating competition per se. Sex differences can also come about for other reasons than sexual selection and recent work on neuroendocrine mechanisms has identified a plethora of ways that the brain can develop in a sex specific manner. Identifying the brain as sexually selected requires careful hypothesis testing so that one can link a sex-biased aspect of a neural trait to a behavior that provides an advantage in a competitive mating situation.

Although the existence of newborn neurons had originally been suggested, but not broadly accepted, based on studies in adult rodent brains, the presence of an active neurogenesis process in adult homoeothermic vertebrates was first firmly established in songbirds. Adult neurogenesis was initially studied with the tritiated thymidine technique, later replaced by the injection and detection of the marker of DNA replication 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU). More recently, various endogenous markers were used to identify young neurons or cycling neuronal progenitors. We review here the respective advantages and pitfalls of these different approaches in birds, with specific reference to the microtubule-associated protein, doublecortin (DCX), that has been extensively used to identify young newly born neurons in adult brains. All these techniques of course have limitations. Exogenous markers label cells replicating their DNA only during a brief period and it is difficult to select injection doses that would exhaustively label all these cells without inducing DNA damage that will also result in some form of labeling during repair. On the other hand, specificity of endogenous markers is difficult to establish due to problems related to the specificity of antibodies (these problems can be, but are not always, addressed) and more importantly because it is difficult, if not impossible, to prove that a given marker exhaustively and specifically labels a given cell population. Despite these potential limitations, these endogenous markers and DCX staining in particular clearly represent a useful approach to the detailed study of neurogenesis especially when combined with other techniques such as BrdU.

Variation in environmental factors such as day length and social context greatly affects reproductive behavior and the brain areas that regulate these behaviors. One such behavior is song in songbirds, which males use to attract a mate during the breeding season. In these species the absence of a potential mate leads to an increase in the number of songs produced, while the presence of a mate greatly diminishes singing. Interestingly, although long days promote song behavior, producing song itself can promote the incorporation of new neurons in brain regions controlling song output. Social context can also affect such neuroplasticity in these song control nuclei. The goal of the present study was to investigate in canaries (Serinus canaria), a songbird species, how photoperiod and social context affect song and the incorporation of new neurons, as measured by the microtubule-associated protein doublecortin (DCX) in HVC, a key vocal production brain region of the song control system. We show that long days increased HVC size and singing activity. In addition, male canaries paired with a female for 2 weeks showed enhanced DCX-immunoreactivity in HVC relative to birds housed alone. Strikingly, however, paired males sang fewer songs that exhibited a reduction in acoustic features such as song complexity and energy, compared with birds housed alone, which sang prolifically. These results show that social presence plays a significant role in the regulation of neural and behavioral plasticity in songbirds and can exert these effects in opposition to what might be expected based on activity-induced neurogenesis.

Monoaminergic neurotransmitters regulate different components of sexual behaviors, but how the different monoaminergic cell groups selectively regulate these behaviors is not well understood. We examined the potential contribution of these different cell groups in the control of different aspects of sexual behaviors in male and female quail. We used double-label immunohistochemistry, labeling the protein product of the immediate early gene, Fos, along with tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) or tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), markers for catecholaminergic or indolaminergic cells, respectively. Rhythmic Cloacal Sphincter Movements (RCSM) were recorded as a measure of male appetitive sexual behavior. Consummatory sexual behaviors were evaluated based on the species-typical copulation sequence. Enhanced Fos expression in the medial preoptic nucleus and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis was observed in association with both physical and visual contact to the opposite sex for males, but not for females. Fos induction associated with physical contact was observed in the ventral tegmental area and anterior periaqueductal gray in both sexes. In males only, the number of Fos-immunoreactive (ir) cells increased in the visual contact condition in these 2 dopaminergic cell groups, however no significant effect was observed for double-labeled TH-Fos-ir cells. In addition, consummatory but not appetitive sexual behavior increased Fos expression in TPH-ir cells in the raphe pallidus of males. This increase following physical but not visual contact agrees with the notion that activation of the serotoninergic system is implicated in the development of sexual satiation but not activated by simply viewing a female, in contrast to the dopaminergic system.

Oestrogens activate nucleus- and membrane-initiated signalling. Nucleus-initiated events control a wide array of physiological and behavioural responses. These effects generally take place within relatively long periods of time (several hours to days). By contrast, membrane-initiated signalling affects a multitude of cellular functions in a much shorter timeframe (seconds to minutes). However, much less is known about their functional significance. Furthermore, the origin of the oestrogens able to trigger these acute effects is rarely examined. Finally, these two distinct types of oestrogenic actions have often been studied independently such that we do not exactly know how they cooperate to control the same response. The present review presents a synthesis of recent work carried out in our laboratory that aimed to address these issues in the context of the study of male sexual behaviour in Japanese quail, which is a considered as a suitable species for tackling these issues. The first section presents data indicating that 17b-oestradiol, or its membrane impermeable analogues, acutely enhances measures of male sexual motivation but does not affect copulatory behaviour. These effects depend on the activation of membrane-initiated events and local oestrogen production. The second part of this review discusses the regulation of brain oestrogen synthesis through post-translational modifications of the enzyme aromatase. Initially discovered in vitro, these rapid and reversible enzymatic modulations occur in vivo following variations in the social and environment context and therefore provide a mechanism of acute regulation of local oestrogen provision with a spatial and time resolution compatible with the rapid effects observed on male sexual behaviour. Finally, we discuss how these distinct modes of oestrogenic action (membrane- versus nucleus-initiated) acting in different time frames (short- versus long-term) interact to control different components (motivation versus performance) of the same behavioural response and improve reproductive fitness.

Systemic injection of a thymidine analogue such as bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in vertebrates is commonly used to detect and study cell production during development, adulthood, and pathology, particularly in studies of adult neurogenesis. Although researchers are applying this technique to multiple species in various physiological conditions, the rate of BrdU clearance from the serum remains unknown in most cases. Changes in this clearance rate as a function of the species, sex or endocrine condition could however profoundly affect the interpretation of the results. We describe a rapid, sensitive, but simple bioassay for post-injection detection and quantification of BrdU in serum. This procedure was shown to be suitable for determining the length of time a thymidine analogue remains in the bloodstream of one avian species and seems applicable to any vertebrate provided sufficiently large blood samples can be collected. This technique was used to demonstrate that, in canaries, BrdU injected at a dose of 100 mg/kg is no longer available for incorporation into DNA between 30 and 60 min post-injection, a delay shorter than anticipated based on the available literature. Preliminary data suggest a similar fast clearance in Japanese quail and mice. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 7 (0 ULg)

Previous work in songbirds has suggested that testosterone increases neuronal recruitment and survival in HVC but does not affect neuronal proliferation in the ventricular zone and that males and females have similar rates of proliferation except at discrete locations. Many of these conclusions are however based on limited data or were inferred indirectly. Here we specifically tested the effects of testosterone on cellular proliferation in the ventricular zone of both male and female adult canaries. We implanted adult birds of both sexes with testosterone or empty implants for 1 week and injected them with BrdU. One day later, we collected their brains and quantified BrdU-positive cells in the ventricular zone (VZ) at different rostro-caudal levels of the brain, ranging from the level where the song nucleus Area X occurs through the caudal extent of HVC. Proliferation in the dorsal part of the VZ was low and unaffected by sex or testosterone treatment. In the ventral part of the VZ, females had more proliferating cells than males, but only at rostral levels, near Area X. Also in the ventral part of the VZ, testosterone increased proliferation in birds of both sexes, but only in the mid- to caudal-VZ, caudal to the level of Area X, around the septum and HVC. We thus demonstrate here that there is both an effect of testosterone and possibly a more subtle effect of sex on cellular proliferation in the adult songbird brain, and that these effects are specific to different levels of the brain.

Steroid hormones regulate multiple but distinct aspects of social behaviors. Testosterone (T) has multiple effects on learned courtship song in that it regulates both the motivation to sing in a particular social context as well as the quality of song produced. The neural substrate(s) where T acts to regulate the motivation to sing as opposed to other aspects of song has not been definitively characterized. We show here that T implants in the medial preoptic nucleus (POM) of castrated male canaries (Serinus canaria) increase song rate but do not enhance acoustic features such as song stereotypy compared with birds receiving peripheral T that can act globally throughout the brain. Strikingly, T action in the POM increased song control nuclei volume, consistent with the hypothesis that singing activity induces neuroplasticity in the song control system independent of T acting in these nuclei. When presented with a female canary, POM-T birds copulated at a rate comparable to birds receiving systemic T but produced fewer calls and songs in her presence. Thus, POM is a key site where T acts to activate copulation and increase song rate, an appetitive sexual behavior in songbirds, but T action in other areas of the brain or periphery (e.g., HVC, dopaminergic cell groups, or the syrinx) is required to enhance the quality of song (i.e., stereotypy) as well as regulate context-specific vocalizations. These results have broad implications for research concerning how steroids act at multiple brain loci to regulate distinct sociosexual behaviors and the associated neuroplasticity.

Re: Just got scores, looking into getting new car
Well, I went to the dealer last night. As much as I was joking about the perfect credit score, it was basically true. They said, (after I was denied the deal based on my credit) that they usually only start considering people for that deal with a 780 CS. Now, what really threw me was that I pulled all three credit scores yesterday afternoon. The scores they pulled were all 50 points LOWER than what I had! So, when I asked them what my scores were, I said that I actually had a print out with my scores from the same day showing very different numbers! The salesman's jaw dropped and he went to get the finance guy. Neither men could explain why there was this discrepancy but they clearly were not interested in honoring the scores I gave them. How can that happen though? How can they pull different numbers than me, 5 hours later??

Zombie Lane Downtown Finally Open
For all of you who have been waiting…and waiting…and waiting….for Digital Chocolate to finish working the bugs out of the new downtown maps, your waiting is over. The Down Town has come to Facebook.
Image via CrunchBase
For months now Digital Chocolate has been promising to roll out the down town area on their popular Facebook game Zombie Lane. They put up signs, sent out status quotes on Facebook, teased us with a circus, and have generally been leaving the players to wonder, wonder, wonder when this was finally going to happen. It has, and it does not disappoint.
The map is large with tons of new stuff and new 'quests', new zombies and new things to fix. Lots of new characters, like the fire chief, and opportunities to interact with friends and NPCs. Yeah, its still a Facebook app game with all the energy bar issues, and the taking forever to load, but they keep coming up with new stuff. I've paid for games that offered less than this (mostly) free game.
To get to the down town area you first have to get through the circus with all the killer clowns and the apparently inept carnies unable to put up a tent. Then you go to the lower part of the screen off the 'map' and click on the downtown. First quests are fixing fire hydrants, easy, and killing a ton of zombies, which is also easy, well if you have a light saber…oh, wait…I do! By the way, you can get a light saber by completing the platinum level of the Craftmaster's acheivement.
If you haven't checked it out yet, it is definitely my pick for playable free games on Facebook.
Other game reviews:
good share!
let me check it
very nice and helpful .. good luck ..
What a fun pattern! It's great to hear from you and see what you've sent up to. All of the projects look great! You make it so simple to this. Thanks
When this has been executed, there is virtually no difficulty or losing time in removing many of the uterine tissues.

Hello, Wine Lovers!
Thought I'd share this link...you know, in case perhaps you needed another reason to drink wine this month!
I figure I'm buying the stuff anyhow...may as well pick a Greg Norman that benefits a 4 star cancer charity.
If you have a favorite of his - please us know what's good!!
Thanks! Katy
The Greg Norman Estates Wine promotion, benefiting CureSearch, begins in August and runs through September. Greg Norman Estates Wine will donate $1.00 per bottle to CureSearch. Look for CureSearch in the signage, case cards and wine neckers. This promotion also offers is a tie-in with Connoisseur Cheese and a mail-in offer for a Greg Norman ball cap.

is just a rumor.
fair point that
is just a rumor.
The starting QB should always be #69. QB recruits would love that! We would sign any QB we want.
jersey numbers. Who gets 77 next year?
remember everyone said he's fat and slow so were moving him to tackle.
The main problem I have with legends jerseys is not that it is a novel idea or a potential honor for the players but what happens when a player wants to stick with his number? We have at least four of these jerseys now? You keep swapping numbers to legends long enough and eventually you will have a player that wants to turn it down.
We all can thank Braylon Edwards and the saga centered around the #1 jersey for giving the athletic department the idea for the legends jerseys.
One final point, the legends jersey is a gimmick to push Michigan jersey sales. Few people will buy a jersey that has Tom Harmon with the #98. Millions will buy a Devon Garner jersey with #98 on the back and lets charge a little bit more because its a "legends jersey."
I would buy a Harmon jersey.
I have a #10 Tom Brady jersey I got in 1999. To me THAT'S a legends jersey. Not a gimmicky new #98 with a special 'uniformz' styling and being sold for $150.
Devon Garner. Lulz.
Thanks for being a douche.
Yes, I could see this jersey selling with a modern Michigan players name on it.
I know a lot of the mgoblog posters would buy a Harmon jersey with Harmon's name on it but we are a small percentage of the total fanbase.
I see two post critiquing my spelling Devon Gardner and my hyperbole regarding the sale of jersies but ignoring the main points.
Millions? Really?
Ohio is a populous state.
I hate the legends jersey numbers thing, it makes no sense to me. But, for one game, I think this is pretty awesome.
Lets just play football and win.
Who is the player on this team that is most like "ole 98"???
I can't think of anybody that'd be a better pick than Devin Gardner.
Are we still rehashing this topic?
YYAAAAYYY!!! I am really excited to see him run out of the tunnel wearing 98. I only see this is a definite positive. (Including added Heisman attention)
Just wanted to add that I've been saying it would be him in about every thread about the topic.
Why would this add to any Heisman hype? Very few people outside Ann Arbor even know who Tom Harmon was.
...had Harmon #16 on their list of greatest college football players ever, just behind John Elway and just ahead of Bronko Nagurski, Jim Brown and Dick Butkus. Those are names that people know.
I don't live in Ann Arbor and I honestly don't know a single college football fan that doesn't know who Tom Harmon was. Maybe my friends and I are just old....
I said attention not hype. It wont make him have better numbers but itll add to the media attention about the number, thus DG. And media attention is half the battle . Everyone is going to remember the QB that wears 98 even if they don't remember his name. Nomsayin'?
I can see the College GameDay special about it now ... especially in a big win tonight.
if we are doing #98 (we are) then there is no other player Id rather see wearing it than Devin. He is electric, charasmstic, a team playker, leader, and a Michigan Man. AND it would be FUCKING AWESOME to see a QB with that #. The only one in the country for sure.
This will totally confuse Notre Dame for the whole game.
you people care too much about jerseys. get a life and have another beer.
You'd post this more often. You've been silent on the topic
Devin is NOT wearing 98....Espn just showed him coming down tunnel in his #12 jersey
disregard last post lol

Rewatch! This is the first time I've seen this since it first came out, so I thought I'd revisit it before the Oscars as a refresher (also, a cousin who hadn't seen it was visiting). I originally rated this an "A", but ended up downgrading it a half-grade on rewatch; not, to be clear, due to the various debates about its accuracy (I knew that the first time, and wild inaccuracy was good enough for Shakespeare, so if Fincher and Sorkin can do the same). And most of the things hold up superbly: the performances are uniformly strong (Andrew Garfield narrowly missed out on a nomination for this; I'd have put him in ahead of Ruffalo or Renner, personally, two performances I really liked), the technical aspects likewise (Fincher would get my director vote; he puts a distinctly different spin on Sorkin's material than I've seen elsewhere).
My main issue is that, looking over it again, I increasingly find that apart from its strong character drama, I really don't agree with the various premises that Sorkin seems to hold about the internet and internet culture. He has a long history of hostility to the internet, and is self-admittedly barely web-literate (one of the reasons the film really can't be seen as some generation-defining commentary, which some of its more ardent proponents have labelled it, something I think does more harm than good to the movie).

Last month Steven Spielberg sat down for an hour long discussion with Costra-Gavras and Serge Toubiana at La Cinémathèque Francaise.
It was part of the European press tour for War Horse but the length and quality of the conversation made it much more than the usual press junket and red-carpet sound bites (where time is limited).
What made it extra special is that the two guys asking the questions really know their stuff.
Costa-Gavras directed two of the best political dramas ever made in Z (1969) and Missing (1982), whilst Toubiana was was the long time editor of Cahiers du cinéma (1981-1991) and is currently director of La Cinémathèque Française.
Spielberg wrote after the event:
"Not since Cannes in '82 have I been so moved by an audience of lovers. I will never forget today!"
As you can imagine it was a pretty fascinating conversation, which formed part of the Spielberg season they are currently running, which lasts until March 3rd.
Although the questions are asked in French, Spielberg had an earpiece through which quick translations were made, so the conversation flows pretty well.
They never discuss it, but Costa-Gavras' Z (1968) – one of the great films of the 1960s – was a major influence on Spielberg's Munich (2005).
Here is the English version:
(Click here for the French version).
Spielberg starts speaking at around 03.36 and the conversation covers the following:
@filmdetail "Serge said the word 'wonder' [émerveillement]…You are still the filmmaker who proves that wonder is possible in the cinema."

Feeling like such a bad person
I really understand where you are coming from. Please don't feel bad about yourself. You really can't help the way you are feeling and you have all the reason in the world to feel that way. Both of my best friends are pregnant...and if I lose this baby, too, I don't know how I'm going to get through the next few months. I even thought about it and wondered if I'd be able to attend the babyshower...and, I probably wouldn't. And that's ok. Just take care of yourself and do whatever you need to do to feel good. Praying for the best for you. *Hugs*
TTC #1 since 8/10. Molar w/ d&c @ 9 wks 8/11; MMC w/ d&c @ 11 wks 3/12; MC 6/12; Healthy baby 6/11/13; MC 1/14; expecting #2 11/8/14.
Please don't feel bad. It is totally normal after experiencing RPL to feel the way you do. There have been many I believe that I have not congratulated for just being in shock and thinking why not me. Does she know about your past losses? I wish you the best of luck on Monday and can't wait to read your great news!
Cathi (32) DH (38)
Angel Babies February 2010, June 2010 and April 2011. Blake 05/28/13
Ugh my sister didn't even realize she was pregnant until she was like 4 months and she was a month behind me. It was exciting until I lost my son and she had her baby in September. I haven't even seen her in person yet, and I'm really not looking forward to it. :( So I totally get where you're coming from!
❥ Owen - January 28th, 2014
I completely understand your feelings as well. Last year we announced the 1st week of december that we were pregnant. 3 weeks later my sister in law made a huge production and announced her pregnancy on Christmas morning. The first words out of my mouth were "this is not going to end well". I was right. 2 months later i lost my baby and her son is almost 4 months old now. I couldnt talk to her, look at her or go to her baby shower. When my FIL called to say she was in labor I laid in bed and cried for 6 hours. It took me 2 weeks to finally come around to see her baby. I love him to death now.
Now im pregnant again and we refuse to tell anyone. If anyone of my sister in laws announce a pregnancy this holiday season, Im moving. I already told my husband and he agrees. I hope you get the baby to hold in your arms that we all so long for on these boards. I pray for sticky dust.
You are not a bad sister! you are someone who is grieving a heartbreaking loss. As my grief counselor drilled into my head after my own loss, the people who truly love you, your true friends, will understand when you can't [fill in whatever here- be happy for their pregnancies, go to their showers, be around their bumps, etc]. And when you're ready to see them again, they'll still be there.
Think of it this way- in a way, it's a nice thing that your sister is excited for your baby, especially since you can't be excited about it yet yourself (understandably). I have a friend who was SO excited when i told her i was pregnant again. Even though i can't get excited myself, it ended up feeling like a small comfort to me that SOMEONE was doing the "getting excited" for my baby, even though i can't yet because i'm too scared.
Let me just agree with everyone else -- please don't feel bad!! You are not a bad sister, you are human. And it sounds like your sister totally gets that. I really really hope that everything goes well and you and your sister get to be pregnant together and that will be wonderful. But, as someone who's experienced losses, I know you can't help but let your mind go to the negative outcome. Optimism isn't a luxury we all have. (The woman who sits next to me at work is pregnant, with twins, about six weeks ahead of me and when she told me all I could think of was how much it's gonna SUCK if I mc.)
Hoping for the best for you and your sister!
Your sister loves you and you love her. It's understandable to have mixed emotions. My best friend was about 3 months ahead of me when I lost my son at about 6 months...we went from sharing pregnancies to me mourning my son and her welcoming her newborn son into the world. It was difficult but even though it is hard to hold her son sometimes and see how wonderful he is...I love him and cherish the bond I share with her and him. I just wish my Parker was growing right along with him.
Don't beat yourself up. You are only human. Grief and fear can turn us into people we don't want to be, but we have to be patient with ourselves.
