Best Chocolate and Peanut Butter DessertsBy Jennifer McHenry on July 30, 2015If you've followed my baking adventures here at BoB for even a short time, you probably are quite familiar with my love of all things chocolate and peanut butter. I know that many of you share that love, too. One of the first recipe collections I put together was to celebrate chocolate and peanut butter. But a lot of good […]Read more
Peanut Butter Chocolate DelightBy Jennifer McHenry on July 23, 2015Just about every church potluck I enjoyed in the South featured a dessert called Chocolate Delight. It was this magical dessert made up of layers of shortbread crust, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream. I always felt it was aptly named, as it was always a true delight to eat. I've only made that dessert a few times, and none of […]Read more
Peanut Butter Oatmeal CookiesBy Jennifer McHenry on April 6, 2015I know that the last recipe I shared with you featured peanut butter. But if you're even a little bit familiar with this blog, you'll know that it's at least 37% powered by peanut butter. I have a long-time affection for it, and I don't anticipate it will be going away anytime soon. I've made all sorts of things with […]Read more

Playing With: There Is No Kill Like Overkill
Basic Trope: More force is used than necessary to kill something.
I just riddled the villain full of bullets, set his body on fire, called in an air strike, and as I was driving away to escape said air strike, ran his dead body over about four times.
- Straight: Shooting an unarmed person with a minigun, then settting him on fire, then punching him in the balls
- Exaggerated:
- Running someone over in a tank, then backing up, shooting them with 17 miniguns at once, and then covering the entire area in napalm.
- Killing a fly with the Death Star and that's after you cut it to pieces and electrocuted it.
- Downplayed:
- A character uses an AK-47 when a pistol would be more appropriate.
- Coup de Grâce, Double Tap or Finishing Stomp on a downed target.
- Justified:
- The victim is extremely hard to kill.
- Alternatively, the attacker really hates the victim.
- The victim is so dangerous that the attacker wants to make sure that he stays down for good.
- Inverted:
- Using the least amount of force necessary to get the job done.
- Not doing the job properly.
- Subverted: The Protagonist packs a minigun for an assault on the Big Bad's fortress, but switches it to semi-automatic mode.
- Double Subverted: ...he failed to realise that miniguns (and other gattling guns) don't have semi-automatic modes by definition and ends up reducing everything to rubble.
- Parodied: The victim is killed by a massive barrage of teddy bears, soft pillows, comfy chairs and water balloons.
- Zig Zagged: Having defeated Alice, Bob menaces her with a small army's worth of weapons. He ends up shooting her with a tiny gun instead... which ends up completely vaporizing Alice with an immense, spectacular explosion anyways. Turns out the unimpressive gun actually fires miniature nuclear warheads.
- Averted: The amount of force used to kill someone is equal to the person itself.
- Enforced: "The show will be more awesome if the characters do way more than necessary."
- Lampshaded: "Isn't all this a bit much?"
- Invoked: Bob brings a minigun when everyone else brings a pistol
- Exploited: Alice first send her minions in to take care of Bob. After they're defeated, Alice ambushes Bob, knowing that he is left exhausted.
- Defied: Bob kills every enemy with a single shot.
- Discussed: "Why do we always have to be absolutely sure that every bad guy is dead?"
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed:
- The heroes use so much ammo that they run out and are quickly killed.
- Alternately, going all-out with the weaponry causes so much collateral damage that heroes fail their mission.
- The heroes are considered insane for being so excessive and everyone else is wary around them.
- Reconstructed:
- The heroes bring more ammo to account for their increased use.
- The heroes have an explicit license to do whatever it takes to complete the mission, collateral damage be damned.
- The heroes fail to overkill one villain and their side pays greatly for it when, Not Quite Dead, he returns to wreak havoc. Now their allies understand that it may be grisly, but some things are better safe than sorry.
I just riddled the villain full of bullets, set his body on fire, called in an air strike, and as I was driving away to escape said air strike, ran his dead body over about four times.

"Thanjavur" Thanjavur by tayloretc
Thanjavur Travel Guide: 72 reviews and 307 photos
Thanjavur (Tanjore) is a hot and dusty South Indian temple town with a huge, old, really cool temple in the middle. The Brahadeeswara Temple is a big part of Tanjore's reason for being these days, although it's not the only thing there, and three of four guidebooks mention that it's too bad most travelers give the city a miss. We were only there for a day, and so only saw the temple, the Art Gallery, and a little of the town on this trip.
Tanjore was the original center of Chola power (around A.D. 1000, interesting history if you have a chance to look into it). Now it's mostly a tourist destination and a center for the arts of bronze work and Tanjore painting. The Art Gallery has the largest collection of Chola bronzes in the world, and both bronze work and painting are kept alive at several workshops/studios in town, some of which you can visit.
Visiting the temple is interesting, since it's a world heritage site (and so almost everything is open to non-Hindus), but is also a working temple (so it's kind of weird that almost everything is open to non-Hindus). For practical purposes, it means tourists have ghee lamps* foisted upon them, and are then over-charged by about ten-fold.
The temple is a beautiful piece of architecture and artistry, and is beautifully preserved. The Art Gallery has that large collection of bronzes, as well as a great view of the town from the tower. There are other old temples to visit. The town itself is fine: smallish, conservative, but pretty low-key, and pleasant on the outskirts. It's worth adding to a trip around Tamil Nadu, both for the history and as a contrast to Madurai, where we ended up next.
* Tiny lamps filled with clarified butter to leave at the shrine of your choice.

Do you believe it is bad luck to take down your Christmas tree before New Years.
RedTN 2007/12/31 13:40:42
Sort By
- Leethal 2008/01/02 05:31:16What, your supposed to take it downI am lazy I wait a few months
- MAGGIE IRISH EYES 2008/01/01 17:46:18None of the aboveThis Christmas season, I have a new beautifully-colored fiber optic tree. It brightens up my living room. I don't want to take it down. So, I'm going to leave it up until my birthday party on January 24. (With all the laws that are being passed these days, I hope the "Christmas Tree Police" don't arrest me) LOL
- Gramma Lil 2007/12/31 20:10:37None of the aboveWe took ours down two days ago!! It was too dry for it to be safe any longer.
- +1When my daughter was with her dad on Christmas and Santa came to our house the weekend before Christmas I had that puppy down and out the backdoor into the woods on Christmas eve (no wonder so much happened (lol) ). Now we have an artificial tree and she's with me for Christmas as long as she wants so it stays up and is still up. The reason I did this poll is that next week I am filing a major item in court and it will make a big difference in mine and my daughter's life. I can't take any chances with our luck. However, I believe more in the power of prayer than luck and have left all of this in God's hands.
- Gramma Lil RedTN 2008/01/01 17:26:11I'll say a prayer too for you that all goes well!
- Florida Keys 2007/12/31 16:56:50None of the aboveNot bad luck but I take it down after the 1st
- YankeeInMS 2007/12/31 15:24:30None of the aboveI don't believe in bad luck, so take down that tree whenever you want if you want. If you leave it up long enough, you can just change the decorations to Easter eggs.
- Seonag 2007/12/31 13:44:28None of the aboveActually ours doesn't come down until January 5th. It's a thing my husband's family did in Scotland and we continue the tradition. Outside decorations are dismantled New Years Day and between the 1st and 5th all the other decorations come down and are put away. It's a gradual thing for us ... as it looks so bleak after everything is down.

For those that know the process... I am curious of how to get on at Nucor. I can tell from all of the previous posts about Nucor they tend to lead to dramtic angry posts. I am not trying to make anyone mad by asking this question I am interested and would like to know the process. If I can get my name in there how does it work? Interviews, tests, etc. Would appreciate any info I could get. Thanks!
#2 May 1, 2010
I believe they take resumes/applications through the ANC Crisp Center now instead of directly through the Nucor personnel office. You should call Arkansas Northeastern College Crisp Center and ask them for info on how to apply.
#3 May 1, 2010
If you are serious, why don't you just call the plants and get the HR dept to tell you the process. Kind of like the old school way.
#4 May 2, 2010
the best way to get on is go to work for a contractor that works out there for a couple of years and get to know the people. makes it easier to get on
#5 May 2, 2010
I was told that if you knew someone that could put your name in you have a really good chance of getting hired...is this true?
#6 May 2, 2010
Nephews,uncles, cousins, other relatives is how you get on.
#7 May 2, 2010
Absolutely not. It used to be that way years ago, but now it makes no difference at all whether or not you know someone there or have relatives that work there. That will not help you nowadays. Sorry.
United States
#8 May 2, 2010
That's precicely how i got on. It will always make a difference if you're family.
#9 May 3, 2010
My brother works there and had NO family that worked there when got hired. He knows plenty of guys who have tried for years to get hired and they have relatives that work there yet they still have had no luck. And these guys have lots of experience working in that environment, so it's not like they were not good candidates to begin with. If they don't want to hire you, it doesn't matter who you know there. Simple as that.
#10 May 5, 2010
Yes Yes Yes Nucor employees are rocket scientists. Hm been tempering metal for thousands of years. But its still hard to get on at nucor. Why is that? You have to know some of the good old boys to get on at nucor.
#11 May 5, 2010
You are f**king hilarious. Oh, and ignorant too. You are too ignorant to realize how idiotic your posts sound. You must have an IQ of 20 from the sound of your posts.
#12 May 5, 2010
LOL why are you mad simpleton? Its true and truth hurts I know.
#13 May 5, 2010
And you must be a small dwarf who runs around talking smack to everyone. Why do you get some mad troll? Are you a round eye or slant eye? If your a round eye go suck some more japanese d#$k! If your a slant eye I hope we drop another nuclear device on your island again! BOOM MUSHROOM CLOUD. BRILLIANT LIGHT AND XRAYS! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOL OLOLOLOL
#14 May 5, 2010
LOL I see nucor people still think they are better than everyone else shame shame! How is China treating you nucor? Still like China's metal? I know everyone around the world is buying up China's metal! lol

Young Justice CD Artemis by nathanscomicartWatch

Young Justice CD Artemis sk001 - One of my favorites.
This looks like J Scott Campbell inspired your style. Nice.
Wow this is awesome! I colored it
It's like if YJ were a Disney movie!
Wow! This is beautiful. Congratulations!
oh, great face expressions! well done.
Way cool and pretty Artemis!
So glam. love her hair!
So fab. Love her expressions!
I love her hair~!
One of my favorites as well. You did a wonderful job capturing her on paper!
She's so pretty here :3
She is so amazing!!! I love how you caught her 'moments'
I like your Artemis SO much more than the actual tv show's Artemis!
Wow! These are all really great expressions you've captured! Incredible job! (: You certainly do Artemis justice.
More like Young Justice!! XD
Hah, nice pun! I literally laughed out loud. (:
Aww, thanks! I was afraid that you would think that was a bad pun (apparently I make a lot of bad puns. I haven't noticed, because I think that they're funny!).
Very well done, the expressions are great.
mine too!!!
Amazing work
Awesome, love the expressions and way you make her seem alive. Only one nitpick, some of the pictures seem like her neck is WAY too small for her head and body (especially the middle bottom picture.) I know it's stylization, but it can look... odd.
Love al the detail though, and your drawings of the other sketches of the members on the team, too.
Love al the detail though, and your drawings of the other sketches of the members on the team, too.
Gorgeous! I absolutely love how she looks in your style.
I love the way she looks here
Your style is very reminiscent of J. Scott Campbell, and honestly, every bit as good as his. I'll definitely be adding a watch for your works!
Too bad they stop airing this show
I think this show was great I really like the poses you drew for her
I think this show was great I really like the poses you drew for her
I didn't know. That's too bad they took it off the air. It was a fun show while it lasted. Glad ya liked the Artemis sketch though.
Wow! I just saw episode 14 (because of the Joker) and I love Artemis design! And THIS looks awesome too! *w*
Thanks. I need to check that episode out then. Anything with the Joker!
Omgomgomg! Awesome!<3
I LOVE the left one,second from the top!<3
Your style is great!!
I LOVE the left one,second from the top!<3

RX100 - LCD cover scratched, replacement?

I know this thread is old, but I'm replying to save anyone else the hassle I've been through. My daughter scratched the LCD screen on her RX100. I ordered part number X-2585-004-1, but that part is just the metal back for the camera. It does not have any kind of cover for the LCD. It's just a metal back with a rectangular hole for the LCD. Any scratches are on the LCD itself, which costs well over $100 and appears VERY difficult to replace.

One of the few issues on which opinion has moved left over the last few years is same-sex marriage. In 1996, Gallup found that Americans opposed it by a 68 percent to 27 percent margin. Last May, Gallup found Americans in favor by 53 percent to 45 percent. That's a huge change in 15 years.
Other polls have shown similar movement. Pew Research reported last week that 45 percent favored same-sex marriage and 46 percent were opposed -- a dead heat. Pew polls in 2008 and 2009 found only 35 percent to 40 percent in favor.
This is an issue on which the differences between age groups are as large as any I can remember. In the May Gallup poll, 70 percent of those under age 35 favored same-sex marriage. Only 39 percent of those over 55 agreed.
So while opinion on one controversial cultural issue, abortion, has not changed much, opinion on same-sex marriage has changed vastly.
Why? One reason is probably that as people learn that friends and relatives are gay, they become more sympathetic to gay rights. We see a similar change in voters' willingness to elect openly gay candidates to Congress and other offices.
But increasing support for same-sex marriage causes problems for politicians. When two-thirds of voters were opposed, it didn't: Almost everyone opposed it. Possible exception: Barack Obama, running for state Senate in a university-dominated district in 1996.
As a candidate for U.S. senator and president, Obama said he opposed same-sex marriage. As president, he says he still does, but his opinion is "evolving."
This may reflect a split between Democratic core constituencies. Affluent liberals overwhelmingly favor same-sex marriage. But most black voters are opposed.
In a 2008 referendum in California, 70 percent of blacks voted against same-sex marriage. A same-sex marriage bill was defeated this year in Maryland after black Democratic legislators opposed it. Same-sex marriage would be legal in California and Maryland were it not for opposition by black voters.
Mainstream media reporters pepper Republican presidential candidates with questions about the issue but seldom ask Obama about it. But if it's a fair question for Republicans, it's a fair question for Democrats, as well.
The problem for Republican politicians is not that opposition to same-sex marriage antagonizes gay voters. According to exit polls in the last three presidential elections, gays and lesbians made up just 3 percent of the electorate, and they were one of the few groups that voted for John McCain in 2008 in larger numbers than had voted for George W. Bush in 2004.

Jonah 3:5-10New King James Version (NKJV)
The People of Nineveh Believe
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. 6 Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying,
Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?
10 Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.

Encouraging step forward for Doubront
FORT MYERS, Fla. Felix Doubront is likely to play a significant role on the 2011 Red Sox, either as a starter or reliever. But the 23-year-old lefty has been almost invisible in camp.
A tight elbow sidelined him for several weeks and he returned to action incrementally. But there was a big step forward today as he threw 30 pitches of batting practice.
Theo Epstein, Ben Cherington, Terry Francona, Curt Young, Dave Magadan, Luis Tiant and three reporters comprised the crowd at the back field as Doubront threw to a trio of minor leaguers.
"I feel great," said Doubront, who threw a fastball, curve and change but not his cutter. "It was pretty good."
As for his elbow, Doubront said there is "nothing there" in terms of discomfort.
"I feel good. My arm speed, my body. My arm feels great."
Doubront will throw again Monday, more of a simulated game. From there, he will pitch in a minor league game. It is uncertain if he will pitch for the major league team before camp breaks.
"He's in the process to get his arm back. He felt 100 percent today, so that's encouraging," Young said.
Doubront would have competed for a spot in the bullpen had he been healthy. But he's not discouraged.
"I can't control that," he said. "I just want to be healthy wherever I'm going to be. I want to finish in the big leagues."
(The photo is of Felix talking to Luis Tiant after he was done pitching. El Tiante has taken an avid interest in the lefty and talks to him often.)

1st place, Cat 3 - Sterling Classic Road Race (56miles)
I won this last year as a Cat 4 and was looking to win this again. I wasn't really feeling it for a good amount of the race and kept finding myself at the back. I was able to position myself well going into the final climb and kicked it hard for the win. This is my 3rd top 5 finish so far this season so I should be seeing a Cat 2 upgrade sometime soon.

Best Farmers Market (2013)
Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market
The Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market represents a lot to its regulars. It seems Phoenix was a cultureless wasteland, behind the times in a lot of ways, but especially on the culinary scene. Suddenly, in 2005, there was hope for locavores and Valley farmers alike when the DPFM started its operation. Since then, the Saturday morning, Wednesday night open-air market has become a staple for downtowners looking to get a bite from a food truck or buy their produce fresh and from the source. After all, anyone who lives in the area knows grocery-shopping prospects are slim downtown to begin with, so to have the option to buy local and fresh right in the heart of the city is a true (convenient) pleasure. Maya's Farm, One Windmill, Horny Toad, and many other smaller farms all participate in the bi-weekly event, and so should you.

February 10, 2016
News Release: Associated Press News
By KAREM COPELAND
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Senate has passed a bill that would give Daytona International Speedway the same tax breaks as other sports facilities in the state.
The bill (SB 208), sponsored by Dorothy Hukill, R-Port Orange, passed 32-5 Thursday. The accompanying bill (HB 127) still needs to be approved by the House before the legislation would go to the governor.
The Speedway is in the midst of a $400 million renovation dubbed "Daytona Rising." The tax savings would lessen the hardships of the cost and the price tag is high enough to qualify for the tax break. The threshold to receive the breaks is $250 million.

He's the melting pot's pajamas. With roots in Africa, Indonesia and the Midwest, he's half-black, half-white; half-Muslim, half-Christian, by birth if not in practice. Part Horatio Alger, Bobby Kennedy and Harry Belafonte, he's an American deus ex machina. Black enough for blacks -- white enough for whites -- he's the bowl of porridge that's juuuuuuust right.
But does he habla espanol?
Even his approach to issues is neither black nor white, but something in between. He's a Democrat, of course, and, as U.S. senator, has voted 97 percent of the time with his party. At some point his worshipers will have to apply objective standards to his positions.
But he's also an implementarian. When it comes to policy, his central question seems to be: Does it work?
While speaking recently to an evangelical audience gathered in Pastor Rick ``The Purpose Driven Life'' Warren's megachurch -- a water-parting event in itself -- Obama said that ``abstinence and fidelity, although the ideal, may not always be the reality. ... If condoms and potentially things like microbicides can prevent millions of deaths, then they should be made more widely available.'' He received a standing ovation.
If Obama seems too good to be true, he can't be blamed. He has been fashioned by the people's wishes into something of a savior. Like the face of Jesus that appears in a slice of pizza, he's in part an invention of need, his immense popularity testament to the despair many feel from years of bitter partisanship and a war without end.
Can he be the one to salvage this wreck?
The world is a dangerous place for those in whom much hope is invested, and that's a heap of expectation piled on Obama's plate. If he decides to make a run, he will have his spirit tested.
May the force be with him.

This is maaaaybe premature there, ESPN. Maryland #1 FWIW.
Justin Turner Is In
As you can tell from the message board, Justin Turner has proven the opposability of his thumbs and passed the Ohio MEAP equivalent. The epinion purveyors at Go Blue Michigan Wolverine were out front on this one, so congrats to them for breaking it.
That resolves the last eligibility question in Michigan's 2009 class; all have made it to campus. Divers alarums.
Ring And Run, Kurt Wermers, Ring And Run
The doorbell rang and now I'm sitting outside here with no one to talk to except a burning bag of what I'm sure is poop. How are you doing, poop? Well? That's nice to hear. Would you like to spend the next four years lifting until you explode? Oh. Ok then.
Fun day to be out of pocket, as I missed another offensive lineman burning his bridges on his way out the door:
"I really didn't get along with the new coaches," Wermers said. "They were bringing in a lot of different kids that were not my kind of crowd. Coach Carr's staff was a whole different ballgame. It was like a family. But when Rodriguez came in it was a whole different feeling. It was more of a business.
"I figured I'd get out while I could."
I especially like the last sentence, which conjures up images of a daring midnight escape from Barwis wolves. Elliot Mealer stumbles fatally, falling a step behind. From the shadows, a flash. Mealer finds himself pinned to the ground, left to think about what awaits him…
…"Save yourself," Mealer cries weakly. "Get out while you can." In the dusky background, there is the shimmer of metal and a faint cackling. The last thing Wermers sees before tearing into the night is Mealer being hooked to a squat rack; both men's eyes fill with tears.
Passing through the thick foliage, Wermers vows revenge. I'm going to find someone from the Northwest Indiana Times, he thinks. And then we'll see what the score is.
But seriously folks: there were hints of this on the premium message boards when Wermers' departure was announced. One of Wermers' uncles, who had provided updates on his recruitment and was therefore established, posted a long thing about how Wermers felt the program was too hard and wouldn't let him do what he wanted to academically and that this was very bad. That went over about as well as you might expect.
The overall theme from "it's more of a business" and the uncle-based complaints: the program asked too much from Wermers, especially if he wasn't going to be on the two-deep, and he'd rather boot to a MAC team where he can see the field and enjoy Ball State's fine programs in broadcast journalism or whatever.
And, really, okay. If the program's too high a bar for some guys who signed up for a different coaching staff, that's fine. The academic complain is hard to reconcile with Patrick Omameh, engineer and future starting tackle. The "not my kind of crowd" reference is pure red meat for rivals, but can we like, you know, wait for any of these supposedly bad kids to rack up a single Fulmer Cup point before we run screaming from them? Yes, their dreadlocks are very scary. No, that doesn't mean they're evil. And I have heard Ohio State recruits cite "it's more of a business" as a reason they picked OSU.
I understand some bitterness is natural when you end up in a program you didn't really sign up for and don't like the new guys. But you'll have to do better than some references to Those People and veiled complaints that things are too hard to impress at this point. I will start getting concerned if players Rodriguez recruited start leaving the program or Michigan makes anything more than the tiniest one-point dent in the Fulmer Cup.
Hello: Austin White
Austin White is a 6'0", 180 pound tailback from Livonia, Michigan, who's just committed to Michigan. Google, I stalk with it.
|77, no position ranking
White first served notice he'd be a Big Ten level recruit at a camp shortly after his sophomore year:
A future Rivals100 candidate Austin White of Livonia (Mich.) Stevenson put on a show at the camp.
Claiming early oral offers from Michigan and Michigan State White, a running back, was asked several times to go up against the top linebackers in the camp and every time he came out victorious in the one-on-ones. He was even held so bad on one play that his jersey almost ripped off, but it couldn't stop the 6-foot, 185-pounder from still making a big catch.
Michigan and State followed up with official offers the first day they could do so, at which point Helmholdt said people should expect White to be "one of the top running back prospects in the country" and "challenge for top honors" in Michigan's 2010 class.
As you can see above, that didn't exactly happen. Though White checked in fourth—ahead of Robert Bolden—in a February ranking of the state's top ten players, two of the three scouting services put White amongst the three-star rabble when it came time to assign the stars. (FWIW, he didn't he didn't miss four by much on Rivals.) While the third, Scout, has him well within their top 300 they also have him considerably lower than analysts suggested he'd end up after White's initial burst onto the scene.
Wha' happen? It appears White didn't end up as big or as fast as you need to be to end up an elite prospect. ESPN's middling evaluation touches on his "great receiving skills" but kind of sounds McGuffian in its concern for his head:
White is a productive, well-rounded back with good upside when projecting for the next level. Has a taller frame for a back and needs to watch his leverage but has good muscle tone and the room to add 10-15 pounds of bulk to increase his power and durability. … not a burner with a great second gear or overly explosive. For a bigger high school back he goes down frequently on first contact and legs can go dead when wrapped up. At times, his high running style hinders his balance, running strength and ability to avoid trip-up tackles. Durability could be an issue at the next level as well if he does not run more behind his pads. … could eventually develop into the complete package at the next level if he can add the bulk and power to carry the load.
The traditionally reserved Touch The Banner's scouting report also notes the receiving ability and says he has the tools to be a read option back or receiver in the spread offense, but says he's not a gamebreaker and that he lacks the "speed and moves to be a finesse rider." The upshot:
Projection: White will be a solid but unspectacular back in a BCS-level program.
Reminds me of: Jerome Jackson.
I always liked Jerome Jackson, actually, and think he might have established himself a decent starter if not for his incredibly ill-timed injury at the beginning of the 2005 season that opened the door for a guy named Hart. Jackson was reduced to playing Wally Pipp until he came off the bench in the 2005 Iowa game.
I'd love to hear Scout's more positive take, but there's not much explanation behind their rankings. His profile is all you get:
An explosive back who can be used in a variety of roles. Has great feet and change of direction ability and makes many people miss in the open field. When he finds a crease, burst and acceleration are good and has breakaway capabilities. Is a fine receiver out of the backfield and has experience playing slot and split.
White might have some upward mobility yet after a positional MVP performance at the Illinois Nike camp:
White was the top running back at the camp. He flashed his excellent speed, has a powerful looking frame and can catch the ball. White, who has a dozen scholarship offers including Michigan, Michigan State, LSU, Illinois and Wisconsin, left no doubt on Saturday that he is a Big Ten-type prospect.
Helmholdt on the same camp:
Livonia Stevenson's Austin White took home the MVP honors at the running back position with considerable ease. The 6-1, 185-pound White was nearly unstoppable in the one-on-one portion of the camp, using his speed to outrun would-be defenders. White's footwork and agility in the drills portion of the camp also solidified his MVP honors.
We'll see that take effect, if it does at all, in the next Rivals re-rank. If he doesn't bounce up there he's a three-star unless his senior year is preposterous.
FWIW, recently the News named him the #2 playmaker on the West side of Metro Detroit going into 2009—Devin Gardner was #1, obvs—stating he is "one of the most dynamic running backs the last four years or so."
White's picked up an impressive but not quite world-beating assortment of offers: Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan State, LSU, and Iowa are the most prominent.
His junior year landed him on the Free Press's All West team, which gave them cause to sum the stats:
Austin White, Livonia Stevenson: One of the most dynamic backs in the state, White rushed for more than 1,000 yards as a sophomore and this season he became a more complete player. He rushed for 1,610 yards and 28 touchdowns on 228 carries. He returned nine kickoffs for 279 yards. White also had 21 receptions for 310 yards and four touchdowns. He even threw a touchdown pass. "It's almost like there's nothing he can't do," coach Tim Gabel said.
What's the deal with the lack of fake 40 times of late? Not one article had a preposterous listed speed that would put a high school kid on par with Usain Bolt. All I've got is a camp-measured 4.58 from the Scout profile. What happened to the 4.16s of yesteryear?
This is a Livonia Stevenson highlight reel, not an Austin White one, but when you run for 1,600 yards your team's highlights tend to feature you heavily:
There is also the "Hammertime Play of the Week" from some week in the past. Please, Austin, don't hurt 'em.
My thinking in this case has really latched on to TTB's Jerome Jackson comparison. And I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. Jackson was similarly sized and a mid-to-low four star on Rivals—I don't recall his Scout ranking. And while he wasn't Mike Hart he had a promising freshman season and once inserted into the lineup in that Iowa game he proved effective, far more so than Grady, at least.
White's a guy that most of the Big Ten wanted; the lone exceptions were Penn State and Ohio State. Add in the LSU offer and that's a serious argument White can be a productive back at the Big Ten level. His less than ideal size and speed combo would ideally see him function as the second back in a platoon system headed by a star back.
White's versatility will serve him well, though. He can function as a multi-purpose player that opponents will have a hard time preparing for when he comes in the game. Put him in space against a linebacker and it's advantage Michigan; line him up in a twin back set with a pounder like Minor or Cox against a nickel or dime and it's advantage Michigan.
I addressed this in detail just yesterday, but to repeat: Michigan loses three tailbacks and Michigan's got two or three replacements in the class now. They'll be very picky the rest of the year, with Eduardo Clements and Brandon Gainer the only folks who seem like they'd be offered a spot no matter what. (If Brennan Clay decides to ditch Oklahoma, add him to the list.) Your Jamaal Jacksons and Cassius McDowells are out of luck.
Etc.: Tom VanHaaren interviews White.
Tim Hardaway Jr., Scouted
[Editor's note: Hi. The following scouting report is from MHoops1, a respected poster on Michigan message boards across the internets. It's been posted on a premium board and another other place that sees links expire in a matter of hours, so I asked MHoops1 if it was okay to repost here; he said okay.]
I have now watched Tim Hardaway Jr. play four times in the past two weeks. Those who believe that he was coveted because he was riding on the coattails of his NBA father are, in my view, either mistaken or being incorrectly swayed by his standing outside the Rivals and Scout Top 150s (he's #93 in the ESPN rankings, but I digress). The kid has the ability to be very, very good at the high major college level. He's very raw, which leads to inconsistency, and if you only watch him on a single day where he's missing shots and forcing things, I can see where you might wonder what the fuss is about--hell, after seeing him on the first night of the Elite Camp, I was pretty ambivalent. Two weeks later, after seeing him enough to fully understand where he's at in his development, I'm very excited about getting him.
Much has been made of his ball handling issues (some of it by me), but last night, when he was pressed into service at the point because of an injury to a teammate, he responded by scoring on three separate drives to the hole, once off a between the legs and spin move which left the college coaches sitting nearby saying "Whoa, I hadn't seen that from him before." It appears that when he establishes a dribbling rhythm, such as when he brings the ball up the court or catches it in the open court in transition, he handles very well and can attack the basket or dish off the bounce. He also hit a nice pull-up off penetration.
What he lacks at this time is the confidence to trust his ability to withstand pressure before he's gotten comfortable. That fits with his other major deficiency as well--he's a little too hyper and doesn't always let the game come to him on either end of the court. When things are flowing well, he's great, and I do not mean great lightly--the Illinois friend I watched with was very impressed, and Hardaway played on a team with 5 consensus Top 100 kids (including two top 20 in the class of '11) and two or three other kids who could go high major, and he was the second or third best player out there for long stretches. When things go badly, though, he gets a little frustrated and can disappear, particularly in an AAU/All-Star setting where everyone tends to go one on one (one college coach commented that AAU should stand for All About You). That's where I think the rankings variances come in to play.
One thing no one seems to question is Beilein's ability to develop talent. With coaching and development, Hardaway is going to be very good, and the question, to me, isn't if but when. The length, shooting ability and quick release, passing ability (he's very good in that area) and basketball IQ are there--the consistency and confidence are not yet.
MHoops also answered some follow-up questions from another poster:
How well does he fit in with a player like Morris? Do their talents mesh well (or can be molded to mesh)?
Really well. Morris' ability to attack the rim and pass are going to lead to a lot of open shots for our wings. Hardaway can knock those shots down. In addition, they both have the ability to tip balls and disrupt on defense because of their length, which should lead to turnovers and transition baskets.
How does Hardaway fit in with the likes of Douglass and Novak (I'm assuming Novak won't be a PF his entire career at UM)?
He's different--longer, more athletic, not as confident, better with the ball than Novak but not, at this point, than Douglass (although more upside in terms of penetration), not as good a rebounder as Novak, range and release like Douglass (better than Novak).
Can Hardaway make an impact as a freshman?
I don't know. He's very raw. If they were to get Ziegler, it might be in Hardaway's best interest to redshirt and get stronger.
Lastly, is he good chemistry guy?
Yes. Very good. He plays on an AAU team where everybody else is local and has known and played with each other forever, whereas he's from 1000+ miles away, playing here because his dad's from here and the guy who runs the AAU program is the father of one of his dad's best friends growing up (former NBAer Byron Irvin was the best friend). He clearly fits in well, and is liked and respected by the kids on that team.
[Me again: If you think MHoops is being generous here, note his earlier, mostly recanted skepticism and yesterday's UV, which notes that an observer from the Sun-Times took in the same tourney I believe MHoops was at and raved.]
Tuesday Recruitin'
Update 7/14: Linked to articles on OH DT Terry Talbott, PA OL Robbie Havenstein, CA S Sean Parker, OH OL Skyler Schofner, OH S Latwan Anderson, FL RB Corvin Lamb, SC QB Cornelius Jones, MI P Mike Sadler, CA LB Tony Jefferson, PA DT Sharrif Floyd, MN OL Seantrel Henderson (and PA S Brandon Ifill), CT LB Khari Fortt.
Video of SC QB commit Cornelius Jones.
Helmholdt on the tailbacks and such. MI QB Devin Gardner makes the Elite 11. MI RB Austin White decides Wednesday. This story isn't really about OH CB commit Courtney Avery.
Added FL RB Brandon Gainer.
Removed FL DE Delvin Jones, OH OL Andrew Donnal (Iowa), OH OL Travis Jackson (MSU), TX LB Corey Nelson (A&M).
Some links from Bleed Scarlet.
Happy Trails
Jones was a tremendous longshot from day one and Jackson camped at Michigan but failed to get an offer. BFDs—sarcastic BFDs—both.
OH OL Andrew Donnal, on the other hand, is a highly-regarded kid and should have been one of Michigan's priorities at tackle this fall; he's now off the board. And TX LB Corey Nelson had Michigan as his leader for about ten minutes in March, but Michigan quickly fell off the radar. Linebacker options are thinning.
Imminent, Impending, Etc.
MI RB Austin White has a decision date, which according to Sam Webb is tomorrow. The status as of a week ago when Tom VanHaaren caught up with White:
I talk to Coach Rod Smith and Jackson the most. I really like that I've built a good relationship with all the coaches, not just my position coaches. It's good to get to know all of them, and see that they all have the same goals. That's kind of what has them [Michigan] as my favorite.
White's currently sporting blue on the recruiting board. The LSU visit did not come off and State's opinion of their chance became clear when they offered Nick Hill. Everyone expects he will put on a block M hat tomorrow.
The Spartan spin machine will get engaged now; I can't wait to hear what Valenti and the rest of the short bus crowd come up with to explain State losing a guy who's got two brothers on the MSU team and was the preferred choice of both instate schools.
Done, or no?
With TX RBs Stephen Hopkins and Tony Drake in the bag—though a lot of people are saying Drake will end up a slot receiver woo don't we need some more receivers—and the likely addition of White, Michigan is close to done at tailback. There are still a couple guys out there that Michigan would just about have to make room for, though.
One, FL RB Eduardo Clements, camped at Michigan, claims an even top three of Miami, Georgia, and Michigan, and has seen Georgia take two high-rated tailback commits in recent weeks. Even so, most observers think Michigan remains a longshot. An official visit is on tap if his recruitment goes that long.
The other is a new, surprising name: FL RB Brandon Gainer. He's got a top two that includes M:
… Gainer is a true running back prospect and ranked as the No. 12 player at the position nationally by Rivals.com. Michigan has made a big jump on his list in the last few months and now joins Florida State atop his list. He plans to take an official visit to Michigan this fall and decide soon after where he will attend school.
Gainer's name had hardly come up before that announcement, so I don't know much about him yet. He's a member of the Rivals 250.
White's commitment will likely end the recruitment of everyone else, including two more Florida tailbacks: Corvin Lamb now says LSU leads($) and Cassius McDowell always seemed like a plan B option.
Your Verging-On-Creepy Gardner Update
Have I gone a week without mentioning enormous, fleet-footed, charming, handsome MI QB Devin Gardner? No? Well, this won't be the week either. Gardner's made the Elite "11"* passing camp:
Devin Gardner (Committed to Michigan)
Gardner is raw and mechanically unorthodox, but he's extremely productive and talented. Plus he possesses a great work ethic-- he wants to be good. Gardner is big, athletic and the perfect fit for the spread with upside to develop and refine his passing skills.
The usual, right? At the very least Gardner's invite provides another venue via which to scout and compare Michigan's prize against the rest of the country's top recruits, including fellow instate quarterbacks Robert Bolden and Joe Boisture. If Gardner comes out of the camp on par with the rest of those guys that's a major win since the remainder of the invitees aren't 6'5" gazelles. (Except maybe for 'Bama commit Phillip Sims (Not That Phil Simms).)
That Other Guy
Michigan does have another quarterback committed: South Carolina's Cornelius Jones. Jones has been a mystery man thus far in his recruitment, ignored by the in-state schools and devoid of video or rankings on the recruiting sites. That void of information has begun to be filled. Unfortunately, I can't embed AthleteVault's highlight video, but it does exist and you can check it out. All you can tell is he's got the usual athleticism.
Meanwhile, his local paper has been giving Jones some attention of late. His Spartanburg team flew to the final of a local 7-on-7 tournament thanks in large part to his play:
"Cornelius made some phenomenal throws," [Spartanburg HC Freddie] Brown said. "Defensively, Coach (Mark) Razzano made some good calls in tight situations, and the kids made some big plays with games on the line."
Along the way Spartanburg downed big programs like Olive Branch (Miss.), Hoover (Ala.), and Independence (NC). In the final, Spartanburg fell to a loaded Byrnes team that features like three top-100 recruits, including Marcus Lattimore.
And a little earlier the same paper took a look at Jones' redemption story:
"I just was surrounded by a bunch of negative things. I was getting in trouble," Jones said. "I never saw myself being around any of this (now)."
Jones was out of the public school system for 18 months as a result of his troubles.
At some point he woke up, decided he didn't like the direction things were going in, and hooked up with Spartanburg's new head coach—the previous coach had banned him from the team. From there, it was one highlight video and Michigan had an offer for him. He'll be a kid to root for once he arrives, and he will: despite his time in the wilderness Jones has a 3.7 GPA.
Pairing Up
Michigan's in a good spot with PA S Brandon Ifill, who's yet to visit Michigan's campus but still says this about his leaders:
When asked if he has a favorite school, Ifill said, "It's probably between Michigan and Maryland. I've been to Maryland twice. I feel comfortable with the coaching staff. Michigan has been recruiting me the longest. Coach (Rich) Rodriguez has been recruiting me since he was at West Virginia."
Ifill's scheduled an unofficial at the end of the month, at which point we'll have a better grasp on how much mutual interest there is between the parties. Ifill is the teammate of PA CB Cullen Christian, who maintained a loud and proud Michigan lead for months now, and the pair could extend Rodriguez's streak of locking down teammates to a third year.
That article has some less salutary news, too…
MN OL Seantrel Henderson's dad says his son has a slate of officials he's planning. They don't include Michigan:
"I know his five official visits. He will definitely visit Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC and Florida. Florida State is one that could change. He might decide to visit somewhere else besides Florida State. He could visit both the Florida schools or he might just take one to Florida." …
When asked about the four definite official visits, Seantrel said, "That might change, but right now that's it. Florida State might be the fifth one."
Urgh. One way to look at the schedule: he's going to places he hasn't gone to before and can't afford to get to on his own time. Michigan, Notre Dame, and Minnesota did get mentions amongst the "six to eight" schools Henderson is still considering, and Henderson has already been to all three of those. As we're about to see with a kid in California, sometimes the lack of an official isn't all that telling about who leads.
That's more boosterism for the local school, though, and if that visit schedule isn't modified to include Michigan I doubt Henderson ends up at M.
*(taking a page from the Big 10, the Elite 11 actually invites 12 quarterbacks but chooses the name that sounds cooler.)
West Coast Folk
A couple of highly-touted Californians have announced plans to take officials to Michigans. CA S Sean Parker sort of has a top two:
"I'm going to Notre Dame (Sept. 4)," Parker said. "I'm also setting a visit to Michigan, but I haven't locked in the date yet. After that, I'm pretty open and really don't know who will get my last three visits but I do plan to take all five."
Aaaand CA LB Tony Jefferson sort of has a top seven:
"I have my first two visits lined up right now," Jefferson said. "I'm going to Florida (Sept. 18) and Oklahoma (Nov. 13). My last three visits will be to Notre Dame, Michigan and Penn State and I'll do unofficial visits to USC and UCLA.
Jefferson claims everyone wants him as a safety so I might have to move him in the near future; he claims early playing time is extremely important and that's why big early leader USC has dropped back to the field.
Parker, who's stated he would like to get out of the state several times, is a considerably more likely option. Either would be a strong addition to the class.
Punting With Birds In
MI P Mike Sadler has picked up a State offer and now bears an impressive list:
Last week, Michigan State offered punter Mike Sadler (Grand Rapids Forest Hills Northern). With the offer, the Spartans joined the likes of Alabama, LSU, Purdue, Northwestern and the Air Force Academy, all schools which had already offered him a scholarship.
Meanwhile, Michigan appears to be chasing WI P Will Hagerup above all others. Sadler grew up a Michigan fan and had some quotes earlier in the year that suggested an offer would be highly likely to end up in a commit, but if Michigan keeps holding off there's always the chance he gets ticked off and heads elsewhere. Apparently Sadler had a rough outing in front of Michigan's coaches but with specialists, especially punters, I'd trust a half-dozen other teams' evaluations over one or two afternoons.
I hope Michigan tells Hagerup they'll give him a brief window in which to commit before they offer Sadler; I'd rather take the almost-as-meaty bird that would really like to leap into your hand than the Wisconsonian in the bush. Eh… you know what I mean.
Defensive Tacklin'
OH DT Terry Talbott had been reported as a Michigan offeree earlier, but apparently that's not quite the case:
"I know Wisconsin has offered me, Purdue and Illinois, a couple more Big Ten schools, UCLA, Kentucky, Arkansas, and North Carolina State too. Michigan hasn't really offered me yet. I'm just trying to see when I can get a chance to come up there. We're having trouble with our cars, but I want to come up and visit."
Talbott has a (slightly) younger brother who's a cornerback; naturally they'd like to go to the same school. As per usual, a visit will tell.
Etc.: CT LB Khari Fortt remains a considerable longshot but this article claims he's got a visit to Michigan planned and where there's a visit there's a (vague, probably not worth mentioning) chance. PA DT Sharrif Floyd has Michigan in his top six but Penn State sounds like the leader. OH S Latwan Anderson still favors WVU. OH OL Skyler Schofner hasn't heard from M "in a while"; may not be a priority.
Put Your Money Where Your Dumb Is
My new preferred way of dealing with idiocy surpassing all bounds of reason—or "hobby" in XKCDese—is this:
From: Brian Cook [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Attn: twit
I run mgoblog. I will bet you your entire year's salary that Rich Rodriguez does not get fired after this season. Since you believe it's "obvious" he will be fired, this is an opportunity for you to make a cool fifty bucks.
It's satisfyingly goading, and when the twit in question fails to respond it's a tacit admission that the assessment in the subject is correct.
This, of course, was in response to idiocy surpassing all bounds of reason that you may have seen linked and mocked various places already. Money graf:
First, it's pretty obvious to me this is going to be Rich Rodriguez's last season as the head football coach at the University of Michigan.
The rest of it is a bunch of one-sentence paragraphs that end up with Rodriguez landing at Marshall. It's not coherent enough to bother fisking, but one of the sentences says the alumni "hasn't" warmed up to Rodriguez. (No, guy on the message board thread, that's not proper usage. Alumni is a plural noun—alumnus is the singular version—instead of a singular noun (like "flock") that describes a group.)
We'll see if he takes me up on the offer. I bet he doesn't.

Salem - With construction on the town's roundabout now complete, some residents are expressing concern that not all drivers know how to navigate the traffic pattern.
At the March meeting of the Economic Development Commission, some members took the opportunity to complain to their Board of Selectman liaison, Robert Ross, about people who entered the roundabout at high speeds, without yielding right of way or while straddling two lanes.
EDC chairman Frank Sroka said that he's twice seen someone make "scary decisions" in the roundabout, such as turning left into the oncoming traffic. One driver, he said, was "completely adrift."
Despite the confusion displayed by some drivers, town officials said there has only been one accident since the roundabout was installed late last year. It was a fender-bender and no one was injured.
Sroka thinks the town should make the white arrows that direct traffic into the roundabout yellow so that they will be easier to see.
Ross said that the double lanes on one side of the roundabout might be causing some confusion with drivers. Drivers going north on Route 85 or east on Route 82 have the option of two different lanes when entering the roundabout, which Ross said was to provide a quicker entrance and exit for those only going a short distance.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that fewer crashes occur in one-way roundabouts than in those with multiple lanes.
There is a possibility of altering the roundabout to make it one lane all the way around, which would also even out the asymmetrical center, said Ross. He said the town is talking with the state Department of Transportation to see if the problem goes away.
First Selectman Kevin Lyden said that there was no plan to change the configuration of the roundabout, which is now considered to be in the substantial completion phase - meaning that only the project's finishing touches still need to be completed.
"The roundabout overall is working quite well," said Lyden. But the DOT is still monitoring its use to see if there will be any need to alter signs or otherwise alter the area.
The roundabout was first approved in 2009, when Ross was first selectman. The rationale for the approximately $3.5 million, federally-funded project was that it would reduce accidents, which were occurring at a high rate at the busy intersection of Routes 85 and 82.
Sixty-two collisions, which resulted in 25 injuries and one death, occurred in the area between 2004 and 2009.
According the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, converting intersections to roundabouts reduces injury-causing crashes by 72 percent and total crashes by 47 percent.
