to play football, not to play trumpet
The Cretaceous
When dinosaurs ruled the earth.
A set of clips just showed up on youtube that ask for their own post. Before...
... during ...
... and after ...
... the 1997 Penn State "Judgment Day" game that catapulted Michigan to #1, an eventual national championship, and inspired ESPN to name various college football weekends all sorts of dumb things like "Separation Saturday."
Blogpoll Ballot Week 4
|Southern Cal
|West Virginia
|Ohio State
|Boston College
|South Carolina
|Miami (Florida)
|Penn State
|Arizona State
|South Florida
|Virginia Tech
Remember that I don't look at previous ballots in an effort to reduce poll inertia, so some of the up-down stuff may not make complete sense. I much prefer arguments that don't consider the previous poll to be some sort of holy gospel: it was last week's guess and this is this week's guess, which may or may not be accurate.
Points of issue:
- UCLA? Yeah. I mocked Orson for including them last week but I watched their game against Washington and they were fairly impressive even without their starting quarterback. Chalk the Utah thing up to Dorrell being Dorrell.
- Oregon still has no D. They might not need one, though.
- Do not fuck with the CK award. GT took the pipe and so did Alabama. Just don't do it.
Comments and such will be considered; I have been adjusting my ballots this year but haven't had time to post the revised editions.
Posting is light today since I have to UFR the entire game now so it can go up tomorrow.
I've yet to figure out exactly what to do with Alan Weymouth's contribution... this week it goes here. Editorial comments interspersed.
An outstanding performance by our defense. I mentioned that my biggest concern was our secondary and I must say, they answered the bell this last week. Our tackling was crisp (Morgan Trent might be the best tackler on the whole team) and coverage in general seemed very good. I was quite surprised that PSU didn't go after Warren more. You can bet your bottom dollar that Saint Sweater Vest will.
[Run Up The Score saw a lot of inaccurate Morelli balls and bad reads in his version of UFR; I have the game now but haven't started looking at it. Will be interesting to compare. I do think that maybe we shouldn't be getting too enthused yet... Morelli is not good at the football. -ed]
The game ball though, goes to the defensive line. He might not show up in the stats, but Will Johnson had an outstanding game. He was able to put pressure on Morelli up the middle and cause alot of problems for Penn State up front. We all saw how good Brandon Graham can be this week as well, but I can also see why the coaching staff rends it's clothing over the guy as he blew a couple of assignments that resulted in long PSU runs...the 19 yarder by Austin Scott, and I also believe he messed up on the long run in the fourth quarter. He was playing DT on the long Scott run, and "pinched down". It doesn't appear to me, that this is what was called, as it left a large gap that could not be filled by the LBs. On the 38 yarder in the fourth, Warren blitzes from his CB spot, and has outside contain...I think BG was supposed to take the inside gap, and if he does this is a 2 yard loss instead of a 38 yard near TD.
LB play was pretty darn good..and I take my hat off to Thompson and C.Graham this week. Again, the DL is making things, much, much easier for these two. My only beef here is, they didn't recognize those draws early enough to shut them down near the LOS. Getting hurt on those once or twice is understandable, but you need to adjust quickly. Same thing with screens. If our LB corp can recognize the screen developing, and get that shut down, we'll be able to let the front four loose a little more. Part of the reason we saw a decrease in the pass rush, was our inability to get these two plays shut down..so, the staff reined in the front four a little to help.
[What I don't understand is why the WLB would even start chasing here. I know there's this eleven-hats-to-ball mentality, but your first responsibility has to be to the misdirection, right? Michigan in general and Chris Graham in particular have always been vulnerable to plays that exploit our linebacker's tendencies to go scurrying off at the slightest hint the play is going to one side of the field. See: That Goddamned Counter Draw. Once you verify that the ball is gone, go, but there seems to be little value in biting on a long handoff pump fake. -ed]
I know you had problems with the way our offense went about it's business last week, but I didn't. The run game was working..and though it was boring to watch, it was very effective. Mallett's limited knowledge of the playbook kept the staff from revealing some of what they could do until late in the game. Penn State's defense was very good, very fast and well coached. They will adjust to what hurts them, so as a OC, I think holding some of that stuff back a little, allowed it to be used in the fourth quarter when it was needed. They let loose the reins a bit at the end of the second quarter, and Mallett threw a frosh like pick that cost us a FG attempt.
The strategy at the end of the game was solid as well. I too think they might have allowed him to throw on first or second down, rather than force him into a third and long situation, but with the run game going decently I can't argue too much here. Toward the end, they played some man though, and any pass we attempted would have been either a slant with some risk of a pick-6 involved, or a longer throw that was less likely to be completed.
I would have punted also. The defense was playing well. They had Penn State backed up and without a T.O. Sure there was enough time to get the ball down the field, but given Morelli's performance and knowing that running the football was nearly completely out of the question, the staff knew it could turn loose our DLs and get pressure. For once, playing percentage football was the right thing to do.
I watched only a little of the OSU/NW game. If Henne is back (the real Henne, and not that impostor who appeared in the first two games) we shouldn't have much problem with the Cats. Our biggest enemy will be us. This team SHOULD understand that you have to prepare for every opponent..but will it? It's a classic letdown game opportunity for a staff and a team that is prone to just that. The goal here should be to have this game put away early and let Hart rest. Carr needs to allow Henne to throw the ball, even if it means we score an embarrassing number of points..I just don't know if Carr will do it.
[I believe Mallett will probably play this weekend. -ed]
I'm not too worried about the injuries at RG. I thought McAvoy looked very good for a guy who got thrown into the middle of a big game. Nowhere near as physical as Mitchell, but he agile and was able to get out on the LBs better than Mitchell or Ciulla. He got pushed around a little, but showed some tenacity, and the ability to lower his pads and hang in there. Once he gets some experience, I think he might not give the job back...we'll see. Schilling got some high praise from Carr this week, but I'm not sure why. Technique wise, we was good. He's got excellent agility for a OT, but he's not strong enough or physical enough IMHO. He's just a pup though and he'll get better. I thought he struggled a bit in this game, and basically forced Michigan to run toward Long. Some credit needs to go to PSU though.
[Weymouth ends here. On with other folks. -ed]
Considering Ball State's almost upset against Nebraska yesterday and at the big house last season, like it or not, you have to consider Brady Hoke for the Head Coaching search for Michigan, no? It shows he has the creativity and coaching ability to go against higher talents and out-coach the opposition.I would love to see a feature on him just like you had one for Jeff Tedford.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Uh... wow. Though Brady Hoke has done more at Ball State than, say, Mike Debord did at Central, a Hoke hire would be the absolute worst-case scenario. Hoke was a defensive line coach for a half-dozen years in the late 90s and early... uh... 00s hired to be Ball State's coach primarily because he's an alum. At Ball State he's 15-31 in his fourth season and hasn't won much of anything. His biggest accomplishments are close losses to Michigan (a game that was out of hand despite a fluky safety and a pick six until Johnny Sears made his thrilling debut) and Nebraska. If we are going with a MAC coach, it should be Brian Kelly... even if he's not in the MAC anymore. Central before (under DeBord) == awful. Central under Kelly == MAC champions. Central post-Kelly == awful. Since there is a clearly more attractive candidate in his genre ("back-up plans who would obviously come"), Hoke is not a serious candidate.
Hey man, whats going on. You obviously know your michigan football, but I have a question
that I am dying to get answered. I have been to games up in A2, and have been to some buckeye games, I have seen both mich fans and osu fans wearing them. I am looking for a hat, it is like a hat an old irish golfer would wear. A newsie/ flat cap/ gatsby hat with a fuzzy yellow ball on top, and says "go blue". I have searched all over the internet and have found nothing. So I am on last ditch effort attempts to find one. If you know anybody that has one, or you know where I can get one, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
GO Blue!
Uh... I dunno. Can anyone help this guy out?
Hello Brian,
I was wondering, have you ever heard a version of The Victors and thought "hey! that was awesome." ? Obviously the Michigan Marching Band does a great job, and I love the song that plays in the background of those warm-and-fuzzy-feeling Michigan hospital commercials. Which is your favorite? Do you have any unique/cool versions? I love that song, but its so hard to find new styles of it online or through iTunes. (I mean, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir apparently recorded it, but thats about it for selection.)
If you could help me find The Best Victors Ever, that would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Katie Cunningham
I have no alternate versions of the Victors save the "Hoover Street Rag" thing they play post-victory, which happens to be on the MMB CD I own. This is also a "can any commenters help" situation. Can you?
Monday Recruitin'
Update 9/24: Added scholarship available due to Sears dismissal; now up to 19. Added FL S Karnell Hatcher, removed WA DE Kavario Middleton (dropped us), AZ CB Marc Anthony (Cal), KS LB Arthur Brown (dropped us), NJ S Will Hill (UF), PA QB Terrelle Pryor (dropped us). Linked to articles on NC CB Spencer Adams, TN CB JT Floyd, PA KR/WR Cameron Saddler.
Editorial Opinion: Slow week. Hatcher visited for ND and seemed to have a good time, so I added him. Personally I think it's doubtful he comes north but a visit means business.
The major news of the week: AZ CB Marc Anthony committing to Cal. That hurts. Anthony had declared Michigan his leader after camp and was looking like Michigan's best bet for a high-profile corner in the class to pair with Cissoko. Attention now focuses more heavily on Adams and Floyd. Adams just took an official visit:
"It went really well," he said. "I met with some of the coaches and the academic adviser. The game was great. It's the biggest crowd I've ever seen. It was a great atmosphere. I could see myself having a good time and playing there."
Clemson is also mentioned as a school of serious interest.
Floyd, meanwhile, remains the world's softest Tennessee commit, and with Phil Fulmer seemingly on the way out that can't be good for UT's chances. Status:
He has scheduled an official visit to Michigan for November 16th when the Wolverines host Ohio State. Floyd said he's very interested in Michigan. "They are near the top," he said. He also will set officials to Tennessee, Maryland and NC State.
PA WR/RB/KR Cameron Saddler is very good at what he does...
Saddler, a senior, returned two kickoffs for touchdowns Friday against Norwin to give him seven for his career. He had five last year.
According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, the national record for most kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career is nine, set by Trevor Mote of Kingman, Ariz., from 1994-96.
...and opening up his recruitment...
A running back/defensive back/kick returner, Saddler has rethought his college decision and is now considering "probably 10 schools."
He had previously narrowed his choices to West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia and Syracuse.
"The coaching situations at some of those schools were getting a little scary," Saddler said. "I didn't want to be down to schools with shaky coaching situations."
Hopefully Michigan can get Saddler and Hale in for an official visit sometime in the near future; the package deal that once seemed so likely has faded as an option with Michigan's opening struggles.
PA WR Jonathan Baldwin on said struggles:
Aliquippa receiver Jonathan Baldwin has Michigan on his final list of six colleges. When asked if Michigan's start might affect his thoughts on the Wolverines, Baldwin simply said, "Ehh."
Uh... okay. I won't even try to parse that.
The three huge five star guys who went off the board were real longshots; Middleton apparently wants to play TE in college. We are obviously full up there.
Unverified Voracity Is Looking At Your Face. Promise.
Note: Banner above is the fine work of Fred Simmons. Given the ill fate of Baxter Allen's banner and the overarching awesomeness of Mike Hart, a change felt warranted. Thus ends the rotating bannerage. Blog: stabilized.
Presser News. Audio at The Wolverine. News: no Mitchell, Ciulla doubtful, MacAvoy likely to start. Savoy, temporarily off the team, has returned after his acquittal.
Corso's where it's at. If, by some chance, Hart runs for like 2000 yards and Michigan wins a bunch of games and Mike Hart wins the Heisman...
...it started with Corso and we should adopt him. (Is this going to happen? No.)
Carr embedded. Now on the tubes: Carr's Penn State postgame.
Schrodinger's awesome recruit. Do I overuse that metaphor? Maybe. But it's very apt in this case. Michigan has picked up a hockey verbal from Luke Moffat, a class of 2010 forward who is the slam-dunk #1 player in his class and very likely to be a top NHL draft pick. This guy is a Jack Johnson-level recruit. But NSFMF!
"I've just not made up my mind," says Moffatt, "the NCAA route is very exciting, but I'm going to take my time before making a decision."
And to Moffatt's credit, he admits that the school he commits to (that being Michigan), will know the situation right up front.
"Yes, they will know the drill, that it will be a commitment pending my decision to play either college or in the WHL. This will make things easier for me though. It will either be Kelowna, or (Michigan)."
So this is a quasi-commit. Moffat will be with the USNTDP this fall and may or may not show up in 2010 with an evil gleam in his eye. Here's an article from the Phoenix Coyotes' site (Moffat is originally from Phoenix, though he's playing for Detroit Honeybaked at the moment.)
Meanwhile, Yost Built continues his season preview with overager Chad Langlais and sniper Aaron Palushaj.
No cheeseburgers in space! Varsity Blue highlighted this from the open thread comments:
Our space emmporer should start aiming for the corners.
Mike74 | 09.22.07 - 4:30 pm | #
There are no corners in space
KBlow | 09.22.07 - 4:31 pm | #
Awesome. Personally, I think our gunners should start doing something useful; Zoltan has been great.
This is the part where I pull at my tie in agitated fashion. Like that Billy Idol video. You know the one. Apparently, the open thread also contained some "helloooooo nurse" comments regarding the new, non soccer-mom-y uniforms in general and this upstanding young woman in particular:
Autumn Thunder compares this with last year's outfits; it's as lopsided as your typical Notre Dame game. A comment on that post says these might not be permanent:
Unfortunately, I've been informed that the unis we saw the last two weeks are "just for maize outs" ... perhaps given positive feedback, the thinking will change on this? Somebody e-mail the athletic dept / whomever runs the cheerleading program...
I maintain no opinion on this. You are all treating objects like women, man.
Uh... what? I can't find this on MLive to confirm this, but MVictors reports that Jim Carty reports thusly:
Let's say Michigan beats Penn State, Penn State beats Ohio State, and Ohio State beats Michigan. All three teams end up with one conference loss. In that scenario, the Lions win a tie-breaker over Michigan and Ohio State because those teams played I-AA opponents. That's right, playing a I-AA team can eliminate you from the Rose Bowl. It's a little-discussed Big Ten rule instituted prior to the 2006 season.
I find this impossible to believe, since this would be a huge change in the tiebreaker process that would basically preclude any Big Ten team that takes itself seriously from scheduling a I-AA opponent. The tiebreaker procedures haven't been updated since 2001 according to the Big Ten's website... anyone know details on this?
Update: article here. Still find this somewhat hard to believe.
Oy vey. Braves & Birds takes on the Lloydball win we just ground out:
Thus, Michigan got away with running almost exclusively on downs other than second and third and long. (Excluding its drive that started with 90 seconds to go in the first half and its kneel-down at the end of the game, Michigan had 34 first and tens in the game and threw on exactly eight of them. How Carr and Debord think it's a good idea to "protect" a true freshman quarterback by forcing him to throw mostly on obvious passing downs is beyond me.) Michigan also got away with forgoing the chance to kill the game off on its final offensive possession, mainly because Anthony Morelli is not a good quarterback and Penn State's offense is fairly easily defended.
I co-sign and will provide a fuller opinion in UFR.
Etc: Stadium and Main on the game; Adams is co-defensive player of the week. Dan Wetzel trashes the Big Ten and says Miles would be stupid to leave... didn't he write this exact article like two weeks ago?
9/22/2007 - Michigan 14, Penn State 9 - 2-2, 1-0 Big Ten
Adrift on a sea of bodies, legs gone, head yanked back, enemies all around and pawing, Mike Hart stretches for the inch he needs and gets it. When Hart is gone and I am old and my mind flips through the rolodex of players past, this will be the image that lingers. It's his career writ microscopic. He takes his natural ability, and stretches it to its breaking point, and Michigan has a season again.
Somehow Mike Hart still feels like a secret. In some extremely obvious ways he is not: one of Michigan's vaunted triplets going into this season, he is widely acclaimed as the best back in the Big Ten and one of the best in the country. Anyone claiming the "no respect" card for Hart is going to have to make a strong case indeed. Everyone knows he is good. Maybe even great. But they don't know.
No one who doesn't live and die with Michigan's program can really know. He came off the bench, this freshman from upstate New York the size of a flea, against San Diego State and helped Michigan avert an Appalachian State disaster, and since then he has been the linchpin of Michigan's offense. A few games later Abdul Hodge stripped him as he dragged three Hawkeyes from the ten yard line to the four; this was the last time he lost a fumble. In that time we've watched Max Martin and Brandon Minor and Carlos Brown and Kevin Grady cough up seemingly every other carry they get, but Hart has not fumbled. Sometime this week or next he will become Michigan's all-time leading rusher. When he breaks into the secondary his arm starts pirouetting, orbiting around as he seeks his balance to cut behind an overaggressive safety. Last year against Notre Dame he ripped off a 21-yard run in the closing minutes, dove to the ground as he neared the sidelines, and made the run-the-clock hand signal as he got up. Sometimes four defenders claw at his body and end up yards from where they should be. He runs out to block when Michigan only has ten guys on an extra point attempt. He cheats at cards. His high school graduating class was like a dozen people, six of them women and three of them Canadians, and Hart dragged them to multiple state championships. Whenever he's not on the field I am alarmed at what might happen.
So you can watch him intermittently, whenever your team plays Michigan or when you're flicking through the game on a crowded Saturday afternoon, and not really comprehend what he is to the program. Set aside the rushes, the yards, the relentless pounding he took while battling some sort of flu or strep illness. Sometime midway through the second half he limped off, battered, then reversed course and told Minor to get off the field. It was third down and too far to run. As Mallett dropped back to pass, Dan Connor, Penn State's all-everything linebacker, blitzed right up the middle. Hart, eight inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter, clocked him. Ran right up into him and stopped him dead in his tracks. The blitz picked up, Mallett converted the third down. Hart would stretch for the winning points a few plays later.
Mike Hart does not care. He does not care that he is the size of Toad and runs about as fast as Richard Nixon, who is dead. He does not care that Michigan ruined everything the first two games of the season as he rode a bike on the sideline. He does not care that some people think he should shut up. He does not care that his legs are on someone else's legs and there is no possible way he can worm the ball to the goal line. It takes someone like this to pull you back from despair and ennui, to turn emo week into something other than emo year.
Mike Hart does not care what came before.
All he cares about is getting there.
Bullets that, if Keith Jackson had done the game, would no doubt have been dubbed "hoss" several thousand times:
- Count me in with the people upset about the offensive playcalling. I do not think it was a coincidence that Michigan came out of its shell when PSU put up its second field goal; it was a pure "scoring offense" situation and one that demonstrated the effectiveness of, you know, throwing on first down every once in a while.
- The thing to be most upset about: a give-up-and-punt on third and long that gave Penn State one last opportunity. There's really not much difference between 2:10 and 1:34 in that situation for the offense. With no timeouts they must pick up big chunks of yards either way. If it goes well they won't have issues with time. If it doesn't, time won't matter because it'll all be incompletions anyway. Giving up the chance for a game-killing first down was frighteningly reminiscent of the Year of Infinite Pain.
- Mallett was 8-20 in the first half and 8-9 in the second. The third down conversion on the final drive to Mathews was a play about four people on the planet could have made. Henne's still better, but if you assume Mallett has a standard progression curve... holy crap.
- That said, man... throw it to wide open Arrington in the endzone plz.
- Yay missed 29-yard field goal!
- Brandon Graham appears to be the best player on the defense, possibly by a wide margin. Five sacks in basically two games of starting, even against those two offensive lines, is an impressive accomplishment.
- Very disappointed to see Penn State's defensive line get so much push against our OL. Don't know if that was just guys getting beat or us tipping our plays or what; will be a focal point in UFR.
- Hey... we 1) ran opposite the shuffle, 2) passed off the shuffle, and 3) threw with Clemons in the game. Did any of these plays work? No, aside from one third-down conversion.
- No deep balls all game. Odd. If they were really in three-deep the whole game we should have been hammering them underneath. This is a major problem I have with our offensive design: we don't punish people from loading the box and playing soft behind it. Those easy completions to Manningham at the start of the first touchdown drive are there all the time.
- I erroneously termed some of Appalachian State's QB draws "Incredibly Surprising." This is an incorrect application of my own nomenclature: a true ISQD is one in which a running back or wide receiver lines up alone in the backfield and takes off, like Junior Hemingway did against Penn State. I hate ISQDs. They are stupid.
- If we ever, ever punted from the 31 my head would explode. JoePa remains even more ossified than Michigan is, and that's the primary reason we've owned them for the past 9 games. If you line up and come right at us, you die. Many teams have figured this out, but JoePa is old and only interested in pudding and Betty Grable.
- UFR will be Wed-Thurs this week if all goes well... I forgot to tape it and the MGoVideo guy's kid changed the channel. So tape is delayed but coming.

Thanks Dad, it's good to see our site administrator taking action! :)
Welcome to the club buddy!
I always check to see if the system has any graphs with it that lets me know what the subcooling should be at, and then base it off that.
Law side of the test was easy, but the trade side had a bunch of questions that made no sense. I memorized them and wrote them down after the test.
Thanks I'll repost in the PRF now. I also enabled my pm.. Also what does the star mean by professional member I noticed?
Thanks I'm pro now.
I called it!
Yeah I added charge to liquid side, and then turned system on and throttled into suction side, but I was having problems from the first time I started throttling liquid into suction side because of...

I submitted the forum 2 days ago. Whats the turn around time on that?
is that an app? Thanks I owe you a beer.

High side 90 degrees...
After I put in the new capacitor the compressor ran for about 10 minutes before shutting off. Thats better then the 2 minutes! Amps at 11.5
Whats the app you're using? Thanks for the info!
Looks like it stays the same on my gauges, but I'll double check that also.
Check it again, and let it run until compressor shut off which was around two minutes. But this time I got 10.5 and it stayed at that the whole time.
The only thing that looks slightly different is maybe the LRA?
Plate shows 11.4 but I'm getting 8.5 hmm

Now that I think about it I'm going to double check this capacitor, because I remember the first time I worked on this system about a year ago, i found that the outdoor fans capacitor was the correct...
Cain was kind of crazy in my opinion. It always seemed like he was just putting on a show, and his political background made me believe he was not qualified in the first place.
Heres a pic of the capacitor, it appears to be within range.
I can only get refrigerant in when the compressor kicks on, so I'm guessing it is pumping when the compressor kicks on. If the capacitor is bad, wouldn't my compressor not kick on? Or do you think...
Yes its a copeland that you just basically plug in. I'll check to make sure its not loose also. Thank you for the suggestion!
Filters are clean. I will hop into the attic today and check how clean the coil is. But assuming all that is good and the amp draw is too high, what could possibly be causing it?
Yes its an r22 replacement and I made sure I ran a good vacuum also :)
The system needs about 5lbs 15oz. of R22. I have weighed in about 4lbs and 8ounces of R421 in so far.
My head pressure is at 185psi when the compressor kicks on, but the compressor kicks off after only 2 minutes or less.
I'm not a fan or democrats or republicans.. although I did like some of the speeches Ron Paul gave when he was running, he was the only one that didn't seem like a puppet to me.
The old one still has the correct MFD
Yes liquid line drier was replaced, and yes this unit has a txv.
Thank you for all the replies!

batman in batcave commish by nebezialWatch
©2012-2016 nebezial
specifically no mask, fun one to do... movin on
Sweet sketch!
I especially love how he just looks like, "ALFRED! How did the T-Rex get OUT of cryogenic freeze!?"
You are awesome
Nice composition - is more than just a character drawing Furthermore makes me want to read some more Night of the Owls event
With the way Wayne is looking at the Mask, I get the feeling of deep thought. Remembering all that he has been through. Or one of those small moments of self doubt where he asks him self if he is truly making a difference.
Very Well Done.
Very Well Done.
i love the batman.. bbut i love robin more ^^
Batman finally gave in and hired a secretary... she'll probably have difficulty typing though.... uses the tail?
I'm just imagining what the producers of the 60's batman would have made of a T-Rex episode!!! I'm already laughing. Holy ZonKosaurus Batman.
Very nice!
favorited. Love batman. this is great.
Awesome one of bats here
Very impressive.
I want a Tyrannosaurus for my living room too.
The illustration in general was very good, just think the T-Rex's head is too big if it is treading the same ground where Batman is.
he looks like he is having a boner... *cough*
so very sweet
very cool!
Thats beast
omg, he's got a dinosaur pet
I have never understood why he has a T-Rex.
two versions could be stated about this. Once comes from a episode of a batman series of the late 90's where batman and batgirl had to fight one, and he kept it as a trophy, or from a comic where Dick Grayson wanted to keep it as a pet.
It seems to show up in the comics as eye-candy or as an oddity. I get the giant penny, Scarface, the various Joker items and such, but who was he fighting when he decided to take a T-Rex as a trophy?
that i never really figured out. It was either before my time in the comics since I got into batman somewhat late in my life seeing as how i mainly read only GL comics and such, or i never saw the episode i was refering to of the series.
I've always thought he looked pretty cool with his mask off.
Look out batman!
Nice work!
Sweet stuff.
Everyday job.
I know you're not huge into comic book culture but personally I think you would do quite well taking on Batman. You're style is great!
This is awesome! The environment looks great!
Good lines and perspective, but the character doesn't stand out from the background as clearly as most of your work.
that's just fking amazing 8u
These are underrated moments in comics, these neat, dynamic shots of cool locations, the hero preparing to go off and fight... Very nicely done here.
You do traditional art too! Fascinating.
How long did these take, out of curiosity?
How long did these take, out of curiosity?
There's a Dinosaur in the Batcave...

Article Summary
When guitar virtuoso and tech innovator Les Paul died five years ago, one of his last projects was an attempt to create high impedance humbuckers that matched the clear, dynamic sparkle of his beloved low impedance pickups. Sadly, the Reaper took the Master before his endless experiments hit pay dirt. But his collaborator and guitar tech for over four decades has picked through Les Paul's numerous experimental models and prototypes, his extensive notes and hotchpotch of parts and joined the dots to realize his friend and mentor's dream and create the Tru-Clones PAF 57 humbucker.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Bank on Banco Bradesco
Click here for an archive of Cramer's "Mad Money" recaps.
Brazil's banks should offer solace to investors who are turned off by America's weak consumers, Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show on Tuesday. Calling Brazil's growing economy "investor nirvana," Cramer pointed out that Latin America provides an important market to American companies that are suffering at home. Whirlpool (WHR) and Colgate (CL - Get Report) can both attribute today's earnings success to Latin American exposure, Cramer said. Brazil is particularly good for investors because its consumers are growing richer. The Fed also has a role in a Brazil play. Lower interest rates are great for Brazil's banks, because "credit cards and mortgages are a recent discovery" for the country," Cramer said. Lower interest rates in America mean the Brazilian market will open up as well. Additionally, global money managers want to buy banks, but takeover targets are scarce. Brazil offers two possible candidates: Banco Bradesco (BBD) and Banco Itau (ITU). Banco Bradesco is the best way to play the Brazilian utopia, Cramer said. BBD has five advantages over ITU. First, BBD is the larger of the two banks. Second, it has fewer bad loans as a percentage of total loans. Third, BBD is the market leader in asset management insurance and pension plans. Fourth, BBD has 20% of its ATMs and branches in the wealthier northern half of Brazil compared to ITU's 6%.
And finally, BBD trades at 14 times earnings, whereas ITU trades at 16 times earnings. If BBD's price-over-earnings ratio were to rise to match ITU, the share price would rise from $32 to $40.
Banco Bradesco handily beats Banco Itau as a play on Brazil's emerging market, Cramer said.

Two foraging strategies in Drosophila larva have been identified; those are sitter, and rovers. They have shown to affect foraging behaviour in fruit-fly larvae. Rovers traverse a long distance while feeding, whereas sitters cover very small area.
Designing an experiment to test the hypothesis:
First of all, setting up a testing area by keeping food source at various distances from the area where adult flies are released. Then test adults having rover and sitter alleles individually. Record the distance how far each fly traversed over the course of a set time interval. If both the alleles affect foraging behaviour in adult flies, then adults having rover allele should be more likely traverse, and move farther for finding food than adults having sitter allele.

Do you have a colleague who treats every assignment as a battle to be won? Does this colleague take credit for your work or the team's work to exaggerate his or her achievements?
While it's important to be competitive, people who are overly competitive as well as arrogant, can bring trouble to the workplace. They can make team-members doubt their own capabilities and hurt overall morale, say experts. That can be a headache for managers, whose job it is to ensure that their team functions smoothly. It may be tempting to ignore them or gratifying to let down the tires on their car. But human resources experts suggest some more positive ways in which colleagues and managers can deal with such aggressive employees. In essence, it's the same way you have to deal with bullies: Head on.

Investors haven't been surprised by the strong March sales figures reported by many Indian auto companies this week, but analysts say there could be a slowdown in the sector's rapid growth this financial year, which starts today.
Car buyers are getting cagey because of rising fuel prices, while interest rates are two to three percentage points higher than last year and auto components are more expensive, so auto makers will have to raise car prices further in order to maintain profit margins.
In light of these challenges, auto sales growth could slow to 14%-15% this year from a likely 30% in the just ended year through March, says Surjit Arora, an analyst at Mumbai-based brokerage Prabhudas Lilladher. Read More »
After a boom in auto sales 2010, car makers fear they will be singled out in India's budget for 2011-2012 and that the government will increase excise duties on cars, a move that would add pressure to an industry that is already struggling with input costs. Investors share these worries too.
Auto shares were underperforming a flat broad market in midday trade mainly over concerns the government will go ahead with the tax increase. Read More »

Thread: changing name of 5 month old?
May 24th, 2013 11:42 AM #6
Babies are amazingly resilient, and used to being called all sorts of things. Mine, for instance, have been called their names, but also Honey, Sweetie, Baby, Babe, Babs, Sugar, Sugarpea, Sis, Sissy, Bub, Bubba, Bubby, Dear, Darling, Bean, Bellybean, Bluebell, Roo, Bellareeny, Bellerina, Snuggle bear, etc. Adding one more name really shouldn't cause confusion at 5 months old. Should you choose to change the name, I would do it soon, and (obviously) be perfectly certain in your new choice.Mama to Caleb Nicholas, Annabel Hope, and Grace Ramona
May 24th, 2013 12:02 PM #8
I agree with the others. If you're bothered by her name now, change it, definitely. It's not so uncommon as you might think. Besides, I'd rather there be a slight adjustment period with my child (and with the people who knew her) than to let those feelings fester and grow and have my daughter feel all the negativity of me hating her name (when I might possibly adore her siblings').
Good luck!Ashley

Best Resurrected Vintage Shop (2007)
Wear It Again Sam
If used threads are your bag, baby, then you should know why we're so happy to see Wear It Again Sam...again. The store once graced the vintage strip on Westheimer, but after a dispute with the landlord, owner Sam Van Bibber had to shut it down. These days it's on W. 19th St. in the Heights — the latest hipster hot spot. Guys, gals, kids and furniture shoppers can all find items from the '40s through the '80s. Clothes are moderately priced, with the quality making each well worth the dollars on the tag. Sam and Co. keep the racks updated, and you'll usually find new selections every month in the 50-percent-off sale room. Here's to hoping this landlord isn't as crazy as the last.

Twelve states have enacted such policies, which require doctors to obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital, and they are in effect in five states. But the seminal questions are: Does this requirement benefit women? And what are the costs to women and providers?
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals revised its abortion clinic licensing standards, and the new regulations could severely restrict access to legal abortion care throughout the state.
The legislation included an amendment requiring abortion providers inform patients that a medication abortion can be reversed, despite no substantiated medical evidence to support the claim.
If Mississippi gets its way, the right to an abortion will be meaningless in the face of unrestricted state power to regulate reproduction.
While the media was focused on Super Bowl XLIX at Arizona's University of Phoenix Stadium, just a few miles away at the state capitol, Republican lawmakers quietly introduced a bill to restrict reproductive rights.
January started off with conservatives across the country focusing legislative efforts on—what else—curbing abortion rights.
Louisiana Sen. David Vitter introduced bills to defund Planned Parenthood and require admitting privileges, among other anti-choice measures.
RH Reality Check Senior Political Reporter Andrea Grimes interviews reproductive justice activists from Texas' Rio Grande Valley who traveled to New Orleans this week to witness the proceedings at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Texas' omnibus anti-abortion law, HB 2.
The decision leaves in place an earlier ruling allowing a 2011 law restricting medication abortions to go into effect.
At stake is the question of whether Texas' remaining legal abortion clinics—16 currently operate in the state, down from 41 a little more than 18 months ago—will be allowed to stay open without making costly renovations or leasing new facilities to comply with hospital-like standards imposed by state lawmakers in 2013.

You may have noticed that denouncing the "failed policies of the past" has become the official catechism of the Democratic Party.
Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if at DNC headquarters "gesundheit" is out as the polite response to a sneeze and tsk-tsking the rise in nose-tickling particulates thanks to the bankrupt policies of the Bush administration is in.
So, you'd think if everything Bush has done is wrong, then a reversal of his position would be right.
Wrong again. We didn't hear applause from Democrats this week when President Bush "reversed" his "longstanding position" (in the words of The New York Times) on offshore drilling.
Nearly thirty years ago, Jimmy Carter's windfall-profits tax kicked in, making domestic oil exploration more difficult and expensive. In 1981, Congress passed a moratorium on offshore drilling that has stayed in place ever since. In 1990, the first President Bush signed an executive order reinforcing the ban on coastal oil exploration. And, until this week, the current President Bush supported the ban.
And yet, no cheers for Bush when he abandoned his failed policy of the last eight years. Instead, Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid sniffed that these were more of the same "old ideas." Odd.
And when John McCain similarly reversed himself, the Democrats whistled the same tune again.
"John McCain's plan to simply drill our way out of our energy crisis is the same misguided approach backed by President Bush that has failed our families for too long and only serves to benefit the big oil companies," declared the Obama campaign.
Now, it's fair to say that more drilling is the approach President Bush wanted. And it's even defensible for Obama to call it misguided. But the salient fact is that Bush didn't get what he wanted because he was constrained by the real failed policies of the past.
Indeed, we constantly hear we can't drill our way to lower gas prices, but how does anybody know when we haven't even tried?
Despite enormous improvements in extraction technology, the amount of oil produced domestically in America went down in the last eight years. It went down in the 1990s. It went down in the 1980s. In fact, it's been trending down since the 1970s, back when Barack Obama's "new" ideas seemed fresh coming from Jimmy Carter. Today, we produce about as much domestic oil as we did in the late 1940s, even though we keep finding, but not utilizing, more proven reserves.

Travel Overview
Privately funded congressional travel has long been a matter of public interest and sometimes controversy. Privately financed travel allows valuable opportunities for members and their staff to learn about important issues before the U.S. Congress. Moreover, private funding allows taxpayers to save money and provides lawmakers and their staff with numerous educational opportunities that otherwise might not be available to them.
Critics say that travel allows private interest groups to gain extraordinary access to public officials while sometimes providing extravagant and legally sanctioned perks. While most private travel has a serious and obvious educational purpose, some trips are thinly disguised opportunities for golfing or a vacation.
Whatever the merits of the trips, the LegiStorm database provides evidence for trips of both extremes. On the serious side, for example, a few staffers disclosed traveling to study a refugee crisis in African refugee camps.
Occasionally, the disclosed purposes of privately financed questions beg questions. In 2003, Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) traveled to London and Amsterdam to tour "the airport baggage hold security system". Why she needed to leave the country to study this matter is one issue but why her local Jacksonville Airport Authority would be willing to finance such a 6-day adventure is quite another.
In 2001, Royal Caribbean treated staffers, members and their family members to a weekend cruise around New York City. Travelers gave varying explanations, such as to study "ADA accommodations", referring to the Americans with Disabilities Act, or to "observe port and ship security procedures, including embarkation and disembarkation."
Former Rep. (and later Gov.) Bob Ehrlich (R-Md.) and Sen. (and presidential candidate) Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) and Rep. (and current House Minority Leader) John Boehner (R-Ohio) did not hide the purpose of their trips as being to golf, even though ethics rules at the time required the trip to be "officially connected". Nor did staffer Bob Vinovich hide that he traveled to Houston in 2003 to golf. On the other hand, his boss, Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio), hid that he went to Scotland exclusively to golf with lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Ney was sentenced to federal prison as a result of this trip and related indiscretions.
Even many trips with a business purpose had generous helpings of extracurricular activities to lure travelers. The North Carolina Agricultural Foundation, for example, hosted a 3-day trip in August 2003 to study the state's agriculture issues but travelers could also enjoy two days of golf at two separate courses, including the renowned Pinehurst.
Other trips are proof that travel has the potential to be both fun and enlightening. Three staffers for Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) traveled to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to study the tourist attraction's "music education programs" and "plans for federal appropriations". In early 2005, congressional travelers jetted to Las Vegas, Nev. to, in the words of one participant, "study and tour the gaming industry".
Often times, the true nature of the trip is indecipherable, whether because the handwriting of the traveler is so poor or the traveler provides little clue. The purposes for thousands of trips are "fact-finding" or "educational", with no more details provided that might give the public any basis to judge merits. One staffer, for example, took a "fact-finding" trip to Washington, DC.
In some cases, no purpose whatsoever is listed, even for trips that might otherwise raise questions, such as a 2003 trip by a Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) staffer to Las Vegas courtesy of a gaming company. A staffer for Rep. Pat Danner (D-Mo.) filed a trip report that did not disclose a sponsor, a destination or even a purpose - leaving the public in the dark as to whether there was any trip to disclose in the first place.

Kidd: Spilled drink was about 'trying to win'

HOUSTON (AP) — Jason Kidd says he was just "trying to win" when he intentionally spilled a drink on the court, a stunt that cost him $50,000.
The Brooklyn Nets coach was fined on Thursday, with the NBA saying he intentionally spilled his drink as a stall tactic.
He tried to avoid talking about it Friday, but when pressed, he said: "Paul (Pierce) got a great look, but the league fined me for something that I probably shouldn't have done."
He also says: "It's about trying to win and those guys in that locker room, and I tried to put those guys in a position to get a basket, a good look and we did."
The Nets had time to draw up a play while the floor was being cleaned after the spill in a loss to the Lakers on Wednesday.

- Bake for about 25-30 minutes.

Most Helpful
It was okay. I've had better but, I've had worse. I made the bars using regular cream cheese and regular cottage cheese as I don't have to watch calories. They're a little sweet, and have a cheesecake-y taste, but don't really taste a lot like pumpkin.
These were great - Instead of two scoops of vanilla whey, I did one scoop vanilla, one scoop vanilla chai. I also added a little bit of cinnamon and psyllium husk. Making it again tonight :)

Five former U.S. secretaries of state said on Monday the next American administration should talk to Iran, a foe President George W. Bush has generally shunned as part of an "axis of evil."
Engaging Iran is important because Washington's military options against Tehran are unsatisfactory, said the diplomats, who worked for Republican and Democratic administrations.
The five -- Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright, Warren Christopher, James Baker and Henry Kissinger -- all said they favored talking to Iran as part of a strategy to stop Tehran's development of a nuclear weapons program.

Scientists get images of planet with sun-like star
Scientists have snapped the first images of a planet outside our solar system that is orbiting a star very much like the sun.
In findings announced on Monday, University of Toronto scientists said they used the Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii to take direct pictures of the planet, which is about the size of Jupiter but with eight times the mass.
Oceans are 'too noisy' for whales
Levels of noise in the world's oceans are causing serious problems for whales, dolphins and other marine mammals, a report warns.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (Ifaw) says undersea noise blocks animals' communication and disrupts feeding. Naval sonar has been implicated in the mass deaths of some cetaceans.
The rising cost of the Iraq 'surge'
Despite strong evidence to the contrary, it has become established conventional wisdom among mainstream Washington journalists that the "surge" was the singular reason for the recent decline in Iraq's violence. It's also agreed that McCain deserves great credit for pushing the "surge" idea early.
As we've reported previously, other brutal factors – that the Washington press corps almost never mentions – help explain the decline in violence:
US plans to sell Israel 1,000 bunker-buster bombs
The U.S. plans to sell Israel 1,000 buster-bunker bombs which Israeli military experts said Monday could provide a powerful new weapon against underground arsenals in Lebanon or Gaza. The experts said they doubted, however, that the bombs could be used to deliver a crippling blow against Iran's nuclear program.
In announcing the proposed $77 million deal, which still needs Congressional approval, the U.S. Defense Department said the sale of the Boeing GBU-39 smart bombs would be consistent with the U.S. interest of assisting Israel "to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability."
Newer Antipsychotics No Better in Kids
Widely prescribed, newer-generation antipsychotic drugs are no more effective for the treatment of schizophrenia in children and teens than older, cheaper drugs, a government-funded study shows.
Under the direction of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), researchers compared two of the newer drugs, known as atypical antipsychotics, to an older-generation antipsychotic. They found no major differences in treatment outcomes, but big differences in side effects among young patients taking the newer and older drugs.
Warning sounded on web's future
The internet needs a way to help people separate rumour from real science, says the creator of the World Wide Web.
Talking to BBC News Sir Tim Berners-Lee said he was increasingly worried about the way the web has been used to spread disinformation.
Sir Tim spoke prior to the unveiling of a Foundation he has co-created that aims to make the web truly worldwide.
It will also look at ways to help people decide if sites are trustworthy and reliable sources of information.
TVNL Comment: No such concerns over the disinformation spread in the broadcast media? How interesting that they want to fact check the fact checkers...but the establishment sources are free to create and maintain a false reality.
Financial havoc wallops US dollar and stocks
The Fed on Monday said it would begin accepting equities as collateral for emergency loans for the first time as it tried to ease the spiralling crisis. The steps would likely help surviving financial institutions to find cash but may not do much to boost global confidence in the U.S. financial system.
"The mere fact that they are forced to do this -- and they may still yet do some more -- indicates the breadth and depth of the trouble that the system is in," said V. Anantha Nageswaran, head of investment research, Asia-Pacific with Bank Julius Baer in Singapore.
Secrets of 'sexed-up' WMD dossier must be told, watchdog orders ministers
The Information Commissioner ordered civil servants to release undisclosed emails and memos about a draft of the dossier which supposedly set out the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.
Richard Thomas flatly rejected Government claims that the comments - kept under wraps during a three-year legal battle - could jeopardise national security.
He said it was clearly in the public interest to know what alterations to the dossier were proposed in the days before it was published.
This was because the undisclosed material could provide 'evidence that the dossier was deliberately manipulated in order to present an exaggerated case for military action'.
Lord Hutton's inquiry into the death of government scientist Dr David Kelly heard that last-minute changes to the draft were suggested by Tony Blair's spin supremo Alastair Campbell, and subsequently adopted by intelligence chiefs.

Exercise Program Lowers Knee Injury Risk
Latest Exercise & Fitness News
Strengthening Exercises Reduced Knee Injury Risk in Young Female Soccer Players in Study
Bill Hendrick
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
Jan. 11, 2010 -- An exercise program aimed at young female soccer players seems to reduce the risk of knee injuries in the athletes, a new study says.
Soccer, which has been gaining popularity for years, is a major cause of sports-related injuries, Swedish scientists report in the Jan. 11 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
But an intervention exercise program reduces the risk of soccer injuries, they report in the study.
Ashkan Kiani, MD, of Uppsala Primary Care of the Uppsala County Council in Sweden, and colleagues looked at a program they designed to reduce the risk of soccer-related knee injuries among 1,506 female athletes aged 13 to 19.
The program featured strengthening exercises designed to improve motor skills, body control, and muscle activation. Training sessions were integrated into regular soccer practices and required no additional equipment, the researchers say. Players, parents, and team leaders attended a seminar to raise awareness of knee injuries caused by soccer.
"The most frequent and severe type of injury among soccer players is to the legs, especially the knees," the authors write. "The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury incidence is highest among young athletes." They also note the risk for ACL injuries is much greater in females.
They say knee injuries, especially ruptures of the ACL, can have long-term consequences, including incomplete recovery and osteoarthritis of the knee.
The researchers studied the athletes in 2007. About half were on teams that participated in the exercise program and half were not.
Three knee injuries occurred among players participating in the exercise program, compared to 13 knee injuries among girls in the comparison group who did not do the exercises.
Taking part in the exercise program was associated with a 77% reduction in the incidence of any knee injury and a 90% reduction in the incidence of non-contact knee injury, the researchers report.
"The rate of injury was not only lower among teams participating in the preventive program, but the injuries that did occur were also less severe," the researchers write.
The exercises involved a structured warm-up program, and exercises aimed at achieving an improved motion pattern that produces less strain to the knee joint, the authors write. Teams were given a written training program, including pictures illustrating the proper ways to perform the exercises, the study says.

Haunted Vegas Tour and Ghost Hunt
- Fully narrated tour
- Led by a local guide
This haunted tour of Sin City covers such sites as the "Motel of Death," where numerous celebrity deaths have occurred, and the former home of a Las Vegas legend whose ghost continues to haunt despite numerous attempts to exorcise it.
The tour also includes a visit to "Bugsy" Siegel's Secret Garden. On this site, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel's original Flamingo Hotel stood from December 26, 1946 until December 14, 1993. Once the original Flamingo was torn down and replaced with the wandering paths of the garden, stories started surfacing about a ghostly presence. There are many who believe that the ghost of "Bugsy" Siegel makes an occasional appearance there. In the garden is a solitary tribute to "Bugsy" on a memorial plaque.
Your tour will also include a complimentary pizza dinner.

2/5 - We went last night with David and Shawn. Great time and we were lucky as there was only 4 people on the tour.Shawn did an amazing job with local knowledge of the areas and historical facts, let alone some of the Mob History as well. Our driver David was super friendly and helped and answered questions as well. I was really happy with this tour. If your a believer - you will love this. If you're not, you can go and have a great time anyway - Plus the PIZZA is really good at the first location where there are some nice ghosts coming by to chat...!!! Enjoy - We sure did!!!
