I have making sure that /etc/ssh/sshd_config allows key based authentication (PubkeyAuthentication yes). I have made sure the the permissions on /home (once mounted on the nodes) is correct. Users are properly authenticated. I have tried nfs mounting with and without "no_all_squash" restarting nfs, rpcidmap, rpcbind and nfslock.
I have had this working with CentOS5 installed on the nodes with a different master/head node. CentOS6 just seems to be giving me extra problems with this.
If I don't create the key, of course I'm prompted for a password.
My hosts.allow/deny are empty on both clients and server.
The root user is able to connect. Perceus handles the key generation for the root user since it is part of the virtual file system. I am guessing that something is wrong with the generation of my key but I can't figure out what the problem is.

There can be more than one variety of a peach, nectarine, plum or apricot on the one tree; each variety ripening at different times, e.g. one early season, one late season.
Our stone fruit trees are made up with combinations of
There are trees with varieties of fruits to suit warm/temperate climates, with other varieties for colder climates.
Each stone fruit variety on the tree will flower and fruit on its own and therefore does not require cross pollination.
We recommend cooler climates for apricot and plums varieties to ensure these varieties bear fruit.
For More information on Stone Fruit Salad Trees, see FAQ above.
I purchased a peach plum apricot nectarine tree, I have had the tree now for four years and it has grown into a great tree. It produces a lot of fruit at different times and all in one space. The kids cant wait to pick the fruit, I was so impressed that I now purchased a citrus mix. Tony, Chifley NSW
Dear Kerry and James, Just wanted to thank you for such tremendous service. Your tree arrived this Sunday morning by courier, and I have a very excited wife. She had never heard of such a tree, but already the hole is dug and watered and the tree is in the water bucket. It will go in early tomorrow. Regards Rick
Thanks for your help, and your service, it has been most professional and is very much appreciated. Andrew
The tree arrived today and looks amazing. Thank you so much for helping me out with this one I think it will make my wife very happy. Thanks again. Ashley 26/6/2015

Life lessons learned in annual All-Star game
Published: Friday, July 22, 2005 at 11:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 22, 2005 at 11:51 a.m.
BATON ROUGE -- The East beat the West, 88-87, in the boys' basketball game Thursday night, but the true spirit of the Louisiana High School Coaches Association/Coca-Cola All-Star Game may have been evidenced by actions before play began.
West coach Mike Greene, a former Assumption coach, said his players responded with grace both when he missed the last two practices and upon his return from visits with his mother in Lake Charles, where he said she's in critical condition with cancer. Also, East coach Harvey Adger and his squad touched Greene's heart with the presentation of a sympathy card.
"I'm really proud of the kids" both for their reaction to his mother's illness and for their effort against the East Greene said. As for Adger and his team, their display was a true measure "of sportsmanship," Greene said.
Adger said the card was the least the East could do for a coach he respects and admires. The outcome turned in the East's favor, but both coaches said the honor of coaching in the game at Southern's F.G. Clark Activity Center was enough to make for a memorable experience.
"For All-Stars to come from all parts of the state and have five days to learn everything says a lot," Adger said. "They did all they were asked to do."
The East's Marcus Thornton of Baton Rouge-based Tara was voted Most Outstanding Player for having scored a game-high 15 points, including 13 in the first half when the teams battled to a 41-41 halftime tie. The East took the lead for good when Kenon Lamb of Opelousas High made two free throws to put his team in front, 47-45, with 16:06 left.
From there, the East went on to lead by as many as 11 points on three occasions before the West made a late run. The West had a chance at a game-tying 3-point shot after it rebounded the second of two missed free throws by Shannon Jacobs, who played on Adger's state championship team at Baton Rouge Glen Oaks.
Terry Beaulieu, another Glen Oaks product, spoiled the West's plans with the interception of a pass.
Beaulieu made the first of two free throws with 3.4 seconds left to trump a 3-pointer at the buzzer by the West's D'ante Harris of Shreveport Airline.
That followed the West's 76-69 victory in the girls' game. All-Star week will conclude with the football game at 6:30 p.m. today in Southern's A.W. Mumford Stadium.
"It was a privilege to be selected by your peers to coach in the All-Star Game," said DeRidder's Greene. "It was good to come up here and coach 15 young fellas who bought in to what we taught them and who worked so hard and long all week."
Assumption guard Gil Verner was among those who cherished the time he spent with his teammates. The fruits of Verner's labor were borne out in his 11-point performance that included connection on his first four shots. Verner matched Jennings' Kenny Watkins as the West's second-leading scorer. Harris finished with a team-high 13 to equal the output of the East's Ryan Francis from Glen Oaks.
"This is the best group of guys I've played with," said Verner, who has signed a scholarship with Nicholls State. "It was quick moving. You had to learn fast."
Adger said he quickly learned that his players didn't want to saddle him with his first loss this year after Glen Oaks went undefeated in winning the Class 5A state title.
"They said, `Coach, you've won 36 in a row,'" Adger said. `"We're going to work hard to give you your 37th.'"
And so they did.

Once you've crossed off all the items on your child's back-to-school list and packed the fashionable new, must-have backpack that will be attached to your little one all year long, is there anything you've forgotten?
In too many cases, the answer is yes. Today's children head back to school equipped with backpacks full of academic tools, and many come home to environments rich with Internet access, books, and other ways to support what happens in school. Yet one thing is frequently missing: the chance to learn through the natural activity of child-directed play.
Researchers have demonstrated that play is central to the healthy development of children in all areas of development: cognitively, physically, emotionally. Many schools tend to focus almost exclusively on academic skills and are increasingly eliminating children's access to outdoor physical activity, problem solving with and by peers, imaginative play, and the arts.
How can parents keep kids playing amidst all the homework and after-school activities that occupy so much of the average child's week during the school year? Here are some suggestions:

Soooo boring. Don`t you have anything original to post you MUPPET!
Careful Davey mate I think you have a stalker and I think I preferred the pic of Jesus to this one. Is that a picture of him in a bra? This sort of tit hates anyone turning down or leaving Manure. I still smile over how much it grates on the boys from the home counties who "follow" Man U that Big Al turned them down at least twice and they still don't understand what it meant to Al to skipper his home town team, more than a gonk or 2. He probably hates Ronaldo now too.
Anyway enough about that prat. I must admit this season has been quite enjoyable. It's been good to welcome some real passionate away fans who support their LOCAL team through thick and thin to SJP. My current player of the season would be Enrique but Colo is running him close of late. What do you think pal?
A Yahoo! User Mar 13, 2010 16:07 Flag
You obviously don't understand the meaning of true love. The kind of love that can not be bought. You, and your kind, think everything has a price, obviously. Now where did you meet your missus?
A Yahoo! User Mar 13, 2010 19:06 Flag
''True love ... price ... what the #$%$ are you on about''
PMSL do you have a degree in stupidity? I knew you wouldn't understand that certain things meant more to Shearer than playing for the self styled 'biggest club' in the world. Of course we brought the subject of Shearer up, simply because it sticks in most manure fans craws that he rejected your club and their shallow fans. He had higher aims to play for the club he loved. If you want a comparison with your current squad members............take a look at the died in the wool reds that play for your club. If you were to ask them what was more important to them playing for manure because the club was in their blood or because the silver ware they were guaranteed to get? If they were true fans of manure they would say the club was in their heart and soul, silverware would be a mere bonus. But such a concept would be lost on you plastics.
A Yahoo! User Mar 14, 2010 02:54 Flag
Of course you don't give a #$%$ that's why you keep snapping back about him. LOL. And yes maybe Owen did cost us 37 million............he's a mercenary little #$%$, he fits in well with you lot. Birds of a feather and all that. Well we'll just have to see if we get relegated next season, first we have to get promoted. AND if we do AND if we do struggle, then I'd rather have the current crop of players minus the sick notes..............Viduka and Owen.............and the prima donna's.
Oh yes excuse me for wandering off topic here but out of interest, nice word that interest, who do you expect Manure to offload next season to pay for the INTEREST on the glazers loan?
A Yahoo! User Mar 14, 2010 14:40 Flag
LOL Jesus the jolly butch #$%$ thinks he gets up my nose.................ROTFLMFHAO.
Was it my statement that I thought Owen was a mecenary little #$%$, that led you to believe that. Maybe it was because I think Newcastle are more equipped now for a fight against relegation, assuming we are promoted and are involved in a relegation scrap. Or maybe when I posed the question over which player you think your lot will have to sell to serve the Glazers debt, that led you to believe it. Now to any right minded person those would seem like reasonable statements and question. However I'm dealing with a plastic manure fan................so reason is not, apparently, your forte. LOL.
But I'll try again, who will manure have to sell to service the interest on the Glazers debt?
Your fans are getting restless over their ownership. All is not well at the ''theatre of dreams''. And once fans become restless over the ownership of a club, sometimes things tend to spin out of control. How do you see the future development of your club under the present regime? Does it not worry you that the force, Ferguson, that has guided your club for the past 20 odd years is soon to retire, he can't go on forever?
Now I'll deal with your 'word of warning' I've no need to go on to other boards, you seem to get a pasting of which ever board you choose to grace with your presence. They do not need my help, apparently supporters of your own club don't think much of you either. Not very good at this are you. #$%$................proof indeed that a man has copulated with a chimp.
A Yahoo! User Mar 14, 2010 18:09 Flag
It depends what you see as an insult, I was just being complimentary.
How do you know this is a new ID, maybe I'm just new to these boards? Now I have posed a number of questions in my last post, non of which you seem capable of responding to. In fact the only thing you were capable of responding to was the perceived insult. At heart your just a sensitive little soul. I think all reasonable posters can now see which level you operate at best, thing is paulakins you're not very good at anything. Now be a good chap, take your time, and try to answer some of my questions.....................hmmm.
A Yahoo! User Mar 15, 2010 01:23 Flag
And your agenda is obviously a disruptive one. But I shall endeavour to bring a little reasoning into your sad and lonely little life.
''and have seen #$%$ends like you come and go by the truckload''
Bet you've sucked a few as well, just a little whimsy.
''You know too much about the boards to be new''
I've been reading them for a while now, thats why I know you usually take an internet pasting when you venture on to the Chelsea board. I haven't posted on here in the past, because cretins like you usually have the sense to stear clear of this board. However there is always an exception to every rule.
''so you're obviously hiding.''
Hiding from what exactly?
Shearer was left holding the 'fire work' of relegation when it finally exploded, it is not his fault that the previous managers, aided and abetted by an owner who knows nowt about running a football club, had left us in that position.
Now why have you failed to answer my questions? I would have thought giving you the chance to talk about your beloved club would suit you down to the ground. However you seem incapable of reasoned debate, I suppose there's no reasoning with the unreasonable.
A Yahoo! User Mar 15, 2010 12:44 Flag
''You have never before had anything to say about your club''
''Shearer holds the world record for the quickest any manager has got a team relegated''
I thought I'd explained the first statement to you, I didn't feel the need to comment on my club. It is up to me when I choose to comment on my club. And I've explained to you, in the simplest of terms, why I did comment this time.
Shearer didn't stand a cat in hells chance of saving Newcastle. His appointment as manager was the last throw of the dice by a desperate man, Mike Ashley.
I suppose I'm expecting a bit to much of some one such as you, who has the intellectual capacity of a brain dead maggot, to think logically about anything. Such IQ levels are probably prerequisite for a manure supporter.
A Yahoo! User Mar 15, 2010 15:04 Flag
You couldn't wind up a clockwork toy, don't flatter yourself.............did you here a faint whoosh?
I talk gibberish? LOL well if you fail to understand my, well written, posts then it possibly will sound gibberish to you. You really should think before you post such drivel. Now I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt there, assuming you have the capability to think.
Shearer abandoned us, now that just shows just how much you know. He was contracted for the last 8 games of the season. And then made himself available for the job. Ashley chose to appoint Hughton as temporary manager instead, leading to his appointment on a full time basis. Now if you call that abandoning, well that is entirely up to you. To any reasonable person it would seem the opposite.
''Which is #$%$''
If you choose not to believe me that is entirely up to you. It's just your opinion, worthless in my opinion.
''You make out you've been reading these forums for ages without comment, and yet you know all about me''
Having read these boards for sometime, yes I do know a bit about you. I would have thought that would have been obvious.
'even though I haven't posted on this board before'
So why post now? It beggars belief that some one can be so stupid as you. Is it not possible that I could have read your posts on your own, and other, boards. I'm a man of the world, unlike you, I take an interest in the goings on around me. My views on football, and life, are not myopic. Which is patently obvious as I've asked you a few questions, about manure, which as yet you have failed to answer. Possibly because you can't, your knowledge of your club is limited. OR possibly you are just a little afraid of the future.............the whole pack of 'red cards' is about to come tumbling down. LOL

Teddy Bear Parade Brings Kids Toys to LPD Offices
Members of Kappa Delta, Girl Scouts fill LPD offices with more than 200 bears.
Published: Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 11:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 11:19 p.m.
LAKELAND | It's a good thing Lakeland police lieutenants Marvin Tarver and Steve Sealey weren't in their offices Tuesday evening.
Hundreds of teddy bears invaded the department, filling the lieutenants' offices, spilling over bookshelves, covering desks and chairs.
But the bears won't be there for long.
The toys were donated by members of the Kappa Delta sorority at Florida Southern College and several local Girl Scout troops for LPD officers to give to children.
More than 200 bears were donated.
Rachel Meyers, vice president of community relations for Kappa Delta, said the Teddy Bear Parade started more than 10 years ago as part of the sorority's philanthropy partnership with local Girl Scouts.
About 70 sorority members and more than a hundred Girl Scouts filled their arms and carried the bears from Munn Park to the department's headquarters.
"It's a tradition in our chapter," Meyers said. "It's our biggest event with the Girl Scouts and they love it."
LPD Sgt. Gary Gross said it's also a tradition to hide the bears in the offices of the most recently-promoted lieutenants.
Several officers watched in amusement as the girls carefully lined the bears around the offices.
Gross said the bears will be safely moved to bins for the officers to take and hand out at their discretion. He said officers can keep bears in their patrol cars to give to children they meet while on duty or at the department.
"It's a great thing for them to donate the bears," Gross said. "The officers are able to give them to children in any situation."

Scientists: Mass Deaths of Creatures Occur All the Time
Not to worry!
So 5,000 blackbirds fell out of the sky last week in Arkansas, and soon after 2 million fish gilled their last breaths in the Chesapeake Bay, and 40,000 crabs collapsed and rolled over, legs akimbo, in Great Britain. These things happen all the time, scientists tell the AP, almost every other day, and we're only just now noticing and connecting the dots because of the Internet. (And because, let's face it, it's been a slow news week. If this had happened when Tiger Woods was having an affair, would anyone have cared about a bunch of birds?). "It's just a human instinct to read mystery and portents of dangers and wondrous things in events that are unusual," Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson said.
"Not to worry, these are not portents that the world is about to come to an end."
Yeah, because maybe when the world ends, there won't be any portents. Maybe we'll just all drop dead.

Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (Etisalat) is partnering with Pacific Controls Cloud Services (PCCS) to extend its nascent portfolio of enterprise-class cloud computing services to at least five markets across the Middle East. The move represents the latest step forward in Etisalat's strategy to leverage its high-profile position within the region's remote computing and security services markets and leave it less dependent on its maturing core telecommunications services business. Although Etisalat's cloud services will benefit enterprises across the region, its efforts should provide a further boost to the local economy.
Part of the Pacific Controls group, PCCS provides ICT-enabled managed services and real-time business intelligence vital to the smooth running of intelligent networked systems, such as smart buildings and smart cities. It will help Etisalat offer Infrastructure - as - a - Service (IaaS) cloud-based platforms to businesses looking to develop new applications and services that require anytime anywhere access, on-demand scalability and pooled computing resources with high security. The services will be hosted at PCCS' Tier III datacentre in Dubai Technopark.
|Etisalat Looks To New Revenue Streams
|UAE IT Software & Services Sales Forecasts
The PCCS-Etisalat Cloud Services will be available with customised plans to suit enterprises' diverse requirements. By passing the task of managing complex IT infrastructure to Etisalat and PCCS, businesses can focus on their core business. The savings they make by outsourcing these activities will also enable enterprises to compete more aggressively on pricing as well as improving their margins. Among those industry verticals expected to be attracted to Etisalat's new IaaS offerings are government, banking and finance, education, energy, wholesale and retail, airlines, logistics and real estate.
Etisalat believes the Middle East IT market (including hardware) grew by around 20% in 2011 and, thanks to the use of unified communications (UC) platforms and cloud computing technology over advanced broadband infrastructure, telecoms companies such as Etisalat are often well placed to serve the increasingly complex data needs of large businesses .
Increased use of advanced communications services will make businesses larger, more efficient and more profitable, thus increasing the contribution they make to the local economy. The IT market - thanks to increased sales - will also contribute to economic growth, and BMI values the UAE's IT services market at US$1.139bn in 2012 while the software market is expected to generate US$691mn. By 2016, the services market will be worth US$1.748bn while the software market will be worth US$1.026bn.

12 reviews | 4.3 out of 5
Purchased two of these. For an inflatable, it looks well-made, though if it weighed 24 rather than 27# I could take 2 as one piece of luggage. Spendy, but the Walmart price helps. It's not as stiff as I would like, possibly because with one pump I couldn't get it beyond 10# (with the other not beyond 4# pressure but Coleman is shipping another pump). The sponginess is easy on the legs when paddling and it's nearly as stable as most beginner boards; like any new board style, the first 5 minutes is tricky. The stowage rings are handy. I haven't tried their paddles yet, should be OK so long as I remind myself to take it easy. Shortened one of the paddles for my wife - easy to do. It would be nice to have a case for the paddles for air travel. Pumping them up is an effort and not a thing I'll want to do daily. A battery powered air pump going to 12# pressure would be nice. We paddle hard boards almost daily. In addition to travel, I expect we'll use these as "guest boards" when we have a group wanting to use SUP's.
This is a to good to be true kind of situation. We were able to get them blown to 10 psi, barely! We got them in the water and they were ok. Not nearly as stable as a rigid foam board. I have a feeling that if this was the first board I had ever used it may have been ok. But since I have a grasp of how a board should really feel this is no where near the top. One of the boards curled up way to much on the ends while one was completely flat. Both bulged at the valve and both have slow leaks in that same area. This is def not because we over inflated, the hose on the pumps kept coming off so we gave up a 10 psi. I really do wish that these would have worked I really did want to use them on the beautiful water ways of Montana and def need one that is portable. I really do wish that this would have worked! But they are going back to the store and I will spend my $1000 on something better!
i was a little skeptical at first seeing that you blow it up. but it worked fine for me? and it is such a good work out! i still could feel a difference when it comes to my hard board vs. this one, but i didnt mind it. happy paddling!
Great product for the price. I wouldn't pay the full listed price but the board got the job done. I am really happy with the accessories as they seem to be made with decent quality.
I took this out on the lake with my family. It was so much fun to take my young boys out on it and let them try to stand up on it and paddle around the lake. I was a little leary of an inflatable board, but it definitely beat my expectations. At first, I didn't inflate it enough which made it difficult to manage; however, once I got enough air in it, it was VERY sturdy and much easier to stand up and navigate. I was surprised by how hard it was...it feels like a real board. Since we were camping as well, it was also nice that you can deflate it and put it back in the carry case. This made hauling it back and forth to our campsite in the mini-van much easier.
This board is very well built, sturdy and easy to inflate. The manual pump has a PSI value to easily tell how much pressure is in the board. I was surprised at how easy it is to ride, once you start paddling, you can pop-up easily. Provides a great core workout. Also fun for kids to paddle around on. I love this board and would recommend it to anyone wanting another watersports activity.
This is a very fun sport and relaxing, but at the same time you work your core.
Fun for kids to play around on as well even if they just want to relax on it.
Easy to learn and fun even in the ocean on a calm day.
Nice product for the price. Easy to use and easy for kids as well. I would definitely recommend it.
If your looking for a good board for a good price this is the best buy out there. It's built with the same materials as 90% of the inflatable boards on the market. If you want the best look for the BADFISH by BOARDWORKS SURF. For a beginner paddler The SAMOA should give you a good feel for paddle boarding. The package deal with backpack, pump and paddle make it perfect for travel. The only downside is the pump. Use hose fittings or shrink wrap to prevent blowout. Be patient and use your body weight to reach maximum pressure. One more point, the package does not come with a leash. If using on rivers purchase one that attaches to your PFD, not your ankle!!! Show up Blow up and have fun!
This board is a little bit narrower than other boards I've tried which makes it more quick and nimble but it also means it's less stable. I've gotten quite use to it after a few hours of paddling though. I'm 5'10" and weigh 165 and found the board feeling surprisingly solid. If you're about my height, the paddle will be a perfect length. Weight of the paddle is decent. Breaks apart in 2 peices for easy transport and doesn't have adjustment holes which makes it great for floating (I wouldn't let it float for more than 45 seconds though). For the ladies who are looking at this board, you might need to shop for a shorter paddle as the one included is not adjustable.
I went out on the lake last weekend with this board, and we had a blast! As the other reviewer said, you definitely need to make sure it's inflated enough for it to be stable. But, once we figured that out, it worked great & and was easy to use. It was a fun challenge to stand on it and paddle. Once we got the hang of it, we were having a ton of fun. The kids even loved it. A great addition for the lake or beach!
I have had my Samoa for less than a year, and I have put it through the ringer. I took it on a Caribbean cruise with me, I used it all winter in the brackish water (full of oyster shells) where I live in S.C. and it stood up tremendously. Unfortunately, two weeks ago I packed it for a trip, didn't use it, and when I unpacked it, it had a slight (2 cm.# tear on the side of the board, acquired when I slipped one of the breakdown paddles into the pack. I called the company #Sevylor/Coleman# and they were great. Unfortunately, you CANNOT repair this item and they have some sort of deal with Walmart, so they can't replace it #she did give me a 50% discount on anything I purchase from Coleman in the future..no expiration date#...the rep is sending me a kit, but she says that it probably will not work. I feel like I got my money's worth out of it, and after spending the entire night on the internet looking at other models, #I want to go to a standard model, not inflatable#, the prices are outrageous, and I actually may purchase another Samoa!...Sevylor #Coleman# is a great company to work with, I felt very safe on the board, it isn't as stiff as you may like #I weight 135 pounds 5 7"# and found that it wasn't great in wind or chop #light# but great for a nightly tour around my dock/creek area. Overall, I would definitely recommend this: it is reasonably priced, I especially like the D-rings #believe it or not...many of the paddleboards don't have a place on the bow ...this is how I get it in/off my dock or tie it up when I go somewhere#..the 3 fins are nice for tracking but aren't long which is a plus when you are in shallow water...but as I said, it is not 'fixable' and you have to be careful with packing/inflating it and its durability is questionable.

Future Combat Systems Manned Ground Vehicle Development
What is it? The Manned Ground Vehicle (MGV) represents the first major modernization of Army ground combat vehicles in 35-40 years. The MGV family of systems is an integral component of the Army's principal modernization program called Future Combat Systems (FCS). FCS is our primary modernization program and most critical investment. This program will pioneer the next generation of warfighting capabilities that will improve Soldiers' ability to find and fight their enemies. FCS includes a new class of manned and unmanned air and ground vehicles, interconnected by a modern network to better support and sustain Soldiers. When whole BCTs are fielded with the full complement of FCS systems, these units will be able to generate significantly more capability. These FCS-equipped BCTs will contain more fighting vehicles and more infantry squads than the units we field today. They will be able to generate more capability and control more area with significantly fewer Soldiers than today. They will require less fuel, supplies and other logistical support.
The eight variants of the MGV family are:
- Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon
- Command and Control Vehicle
- Recon and Surveillance Vehicle
- Infantry Combat Vehicle
- Mounted Combat System
- Non-Line-Of-Sight Mortar
- Medical and Evacuation Vehicle
- FCS Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle
Fielding of the first prototype unit for testing, equipped with the non-line-of-sight cannon, begins in 2008. The results of this fielding are expected to generate valuable insights for the remainder of the MGV systems and subsequent vehicle systems.
For more information on this and other topics see Addendum J in the Army Posture Statement.
Army $1000 Referral Bonus Program - Refer a qualified applicant and receive a $1000 Referral Bonus when the applicant completes military training.
The Army has implemented a pilot program which allows Soldiers to refer applicants to recruiters. Soldiers who make referrals may receive a referral bonus for referring anyone who is qualified, has no prior military service in the Armed Forces, and completes military training. Immediate family members do not qualify as a referral. The applicant must enlist in the Regular Component of the Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard, and complete Basic and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). Additional details about the program and eligible Soldiers may be obtained at www.usarec.army.mil/smart or www.1800goguard.com/esar.

Ace (or anyone else), could you tell if Brother Rice intentionally gave up that late touchdown to Hosey to prevent Cass Tech from running out the clock?
Peppers at 10, which seems low.
It was a marathon opening weekend of high school football; Shane Morris and Warren De La Salle overcame early struggles to soundly defeat Pioneer on Friday night, then Saturday featured four marquee matchups in the Prep Kickoff Classic at Wayne State headlined by a battle royale between Division I state champs Cass Tech and Division II state champs Brother Rice.
A note before I move along to the scouting portion: Yes, there was a shooting scare on Saturday night. It's remarkably unfortunate that a fight between a couple of idiots—in which someone threatened to pull a gun and caused a panic, though the police say no gun was present—has marred what was otherwise a stellar event. Kurt Kosmowski, Marty Dobek, and the whole Detroit Sports Commission crew put a ton of effort into pulling together 12 high school teams over two days, giving these young athletes a chance to play at a college stadium in front of nearly 10,000 people. The DSC has announced that they'll once again hold the Prep Kickoff Classic at Wayne State next year; while I hope they beef up security a bit, I'm also confident that they'll once again put together a first-rate football showcase.
With that out of the way, let's get to the recap of all the action after THE JUMP.
QB/P Shane Morris (2013 Commit): The season got off to an inauspicious start as Shane Morris's first pass hit a Pioneer linebacker right between the numbers for an interception; Morris would open the game just 2-for-9 before bouncing back in a big way, leading De La Salle to an easy 35-7 victory. For some reason, the MGoCamera lost all footage from the weekend before the Cass Tech game, but thankfully the Daily's Stephen J. Nesbitt was on hand Friday to capture every snap Morris took:
Final numbers for Morris: 14-for-26, 177 yards, two touchdowns, and that opening interception; he spent the fourth quarter on the bench due to the blowout score. Those numbers could have better, as well, if not for a couple of drops by his receivers and some outstanding play from the Pioneer secondary. As you can see above, Morris also dropped a 52-yard punt down to the Pioneer one-yard line, though subsequent kicks didn't have the same efficacy.
The rough start for Morris stemmed from a combination of rushing his throws and trying to force the action too much. The opening pick came on a quick slant, and it's clear Morris decided to make that throw before the snap; he either misread the defense or didn't see the linebacker entirely. Other throws either led receivers right into big hits or were overly ambitious tosses into small windows. De La Salle rolled Morris out for several of his throws and he often failed to set his feet, which hurt his downfield accuracy.
Then Morris started to roll, reminding everyone why he was so highly touted in the first place. He showed improved touch on short and intermediate routes, as well as the ability to make an accurate throw across his body (see 3:10 mark above). He also toned down the happy feet; at 4:06, he steps up and makes an impressive throw while facing heavy pressure.
A big criticism of Morris last year focused on his often laser-like focus on the left side of the field; he'd stare down his top read and often force it there even if covered. While the pass fell incomplete, you can see the strides he's made in that regard at the 4:33 mark, as he looks off the coverage to the right, then moves on to his second read down the left sideline. That's a big advancement from last year and proof that Morris is picking up a lot from his myriad camp appearances.
Despite the rough start, Morris did nothing to dispel the notion that he's an elite talent. He'll have to work on having more consistent starts instead of using the opening quarter to shake off the rust—he's been a notorious slow starter on the 7-on-7 circuit, as well—but when he gets going, he makes the position look easy.

TE/DE Khalid Hill (2013 commit): Hill earned player of the game honors for The Ville with three catches for 83 yards and a touchdown. Hill's first catch of the season was a slant route that he took 65 yards for a touchdown; the throw was slightly behind him, but he reached back and plucked the ball out of the air without breaking stride, then turned on the burners and outran the entire Oak Park secondary. It was a very impressive effort that showed off Hill's potential as a receiver.
Hill looked very comfortable working over the middle, whether he lined up at tight end, H-back, slot, or wide receiver; he's at his best finding open space in the heart of the defense. His hands look good as well, as he caught everything thrown his way, making sure to catch with his hands instead of his body. When running routes, Hill showed why he earned a Michigan offer.
However, Hill ran into problems when asked to run block. He had a difficult time staying engaged with defenders and knocking them off the ball; on several occasions, he never found someone to block at all. There were also several plays, especially when a run was going away from him, where he didn't appear to give full effort, jogging after the play instead of looking for someone to hit; he likely cost his team extra yards by not playing through the whistle when The Ville's running back unexpectedly broke through tackles. He's got quick enough feet that he shouldn't have any trouble getting into position, but he currently lacks the strength to drive a defensive lineman back and needs to work on his technique when it comes to hand placement.
Michigan is recruiting Hill as a tight end/H-back, but he also starts at defensive end for The Ville. His athleticism is an asset at the high school level, as he was able to chase down multiple run plays from the backside. I didn't keep track of defensive stats but he was involved in a handful of tackles. I don't think we have to worry about him flipping sides of the ball in college, however; Hill's much more of a college prospect at tight end.
Ace (or anyone else), could you tell if Brother Rice intentionally gave up that late touchdown to Hosey to prevent Cass Tech from running out the clock?
Not at all, unless two of their defenders didn't get the memo and got trucked for no reason. They still had a couple minutes and at least one timeout with Cass Tech back in their own end, so there was no reason to give up a long TD like that.
I know I'm going to get downvoted for saying this, but watching that video, Shane Morris does not look like a five star quarterback. This combined with him not even making the final Elite 11 list makes me think he is a tad overrated.
I'm confident that under Borges's teaching he will become a hell of a player. I'm just saying that we should not expect him to beat out Russell Bellomy as a true freshman.
I agree with your conclusion more than your first paragraph. Now that fans are starting to follow recruiting more closely than ever before, I think people tend to lose perspective. He's a high school kid playing the first game of his season. Even if he progresses a lot this season, it's really, really hard to be ready to quarterback a program like Michigan's in someone's true freshman season.
That doesn't mean he isn't one of the best couple of QB prospects in the country (I suspect he is, since people around the country with expertise in this area keep saying he is). It just means that we have to be realistic about what to expect from kids this young.
I'm going to totally disagree with you. What did you see in that video that suggests that? He's got a crazy arm, and was on the money in nearly all of this throws. He had a few passes that were simply dropped, and a few others that were broken up because his receivers weren't getting open.
Have you watched many high school QBs play? Keep in mind that wasn't a highlight video, that was all of his throws, good and bad. Outside of other elite QBs, I don't know who looks better than that. Not all of his throws were perfect (he's still a high school QB) but some of them were wow-worthy.
Have you watched many high school QBs play?
I'm not going to pretend that I have seen every high school quarterback ever, but I have watched games when Matt Barkley and Matthew Stafford were seniors (obviously at different times). They looked like true phenoms. Shane Morris does not.
I think that if you're going to dish out the five star rating it should be for a kid who is just ridiculously good, and watching Shane Morris (in what I've seen, this game and the Elite 11), I just don't see that. I hear all the time how he is just this amazing quarterback and truthfully everything I've seen from him is on par with Russell Bellomy's highlight stuff. Does that mean that Bellomy was criminally underrated or that Shane Morris is a little overrated?
I'm going to totally disagree with you. What did you see in that video that suggests that? He's got a crazy arm, and was on the money in nearly all of this throws.
Except for like the first ten. He just didn't look like a five star guy to me.
Don't get me wrong; I'm thrilled that Morris is coming to Michigan and even more thrilled at what he'll become when Borges gets to tutor him. I have just been hearing all this hype that he's so awesome, and I've seen nothing to justify that.
As for his arm, he has power because he throws it as hard as he can literally every single time, but where's the touch? Where's the finesse?
On top of that Ace says "Once he's was rolling you can see why he is so highly touted," and I watched that video five times, and even towards the end, I still wasn't seeing a five star quarterback performance. A low four star? Sure. Five star? No way.
Just my opinion.
P.S. You would think that the #3 quarterback in the country would at least be able to beat out Malik Zaire at the Elite 11, but he couldn't even do that. I think maybe some of the hype has gone to everyone's head.
I disagree with your view of the film (I watched pretty carefully, and after about the first quarter he looked damn good), but more than anything I think you're reading WAY too much into the "didn't make the top 11" thing. Every outside observer who watched the Elite 11 had Shane in the top group, if not the downright MVP. The list of past Elite 11 participants who didn't make the top 11 is long and distinguished. Plus, the entire event consisted of about 30 throws total, most of which to receivers who are not 'big time' recruits.
I have no idea how Trent Dilfer makes up his top list, but chicken entrails and i ching coins are probably involved.
I think the important thing here is to realize how it's hard to gauge a quarterback's arm by watching zoomed out video clips. I spent most of the game filming Morris and watching his throws on the tiny LCD screen on the mgocamera (for naught, apparently ... stupid technology). I remember not being terribly impressed until I actually started watching plays live. The kid can throw, and that's half the battle. Borges will take care of the rest.

Re: Take the FICO Fitness Challenge!
I am taking this year to re-invent myself. I had a hard time last year with being in school full time and not being able to work. We only had one income and it was tight. Lets just say everything that could happen did. I am now about to start my new job as a BSN/RN and I am excited. With both of our incomes, we should be able to attack a lot of this early in the year. I just pulled my credit score from Equifax to see what the damage was, 487. I have a 452 as of 11/09 and I signed up for quarterly updates I think. I take my state boards next month for nursing then I am starting on this. My goal is just to get all bills paid on time for this month and next month. Then, once we get income tax, I want to pay down as much as I can.
My Goals for 2010- Pay ALL bills on time
Pay off all current credit cards
Move up into the low 600's
Start Score:493Current Score:635
Goal Score: 700>>>>>App free since (umm not saying...I struggle with this)

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Spend a Romantic (and Kid-Free!) Weekend (Photos)Shana Aborn
Don't let those bored expressions fool you!
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are just playing for the camera. They actually had a wonderful time at the wedding of Tori's good friend Jessica Tohir last night.
In fact, they took advantage of the occasion to plan a mini-getaway without their four children. Mind you, Tori and Dean love their kids beyond words, but it's still important for parents to give themselves some couple time. And after the stress and anxiety of Tori's pregnancy with baby Finn – involving weeks of bed rest and a postpartum crisis that sent the new mom back to the hospital for surgery – they were ready for a little R&R.
They checked into a fancy Santa Barbara resort, where they indulged in spa treatments before relaxing with a glass of wine and enjoying the ocean view.
Then on Saturday it was time to get spiffed up for the ceremony. Tori wore "Head2ToeVintage," her tweets announced, including her evening bag, fluffy wrap and statement cocktail ring.
Tori didn't give any details about today's activities, but with any luck it included sleeping in (no kids bouncing into bed with them!), a nice brunch and a leisurely trip home to be greeted by Liam, Stella, Hattie and Finn.
See their pictures here! And tell us – when was the last time you had a couples weekend?
