Tuesday Recruitin'
A pretty light week as most high school prospects are focusing on preparation for their senior season, rather than recruiting. Once official visits start rolling, it should get interesting again. All updates can be seen on the 2010 Recruiting Board.
Your Weekly Semi-Creepy Devin Gardner Update - Now with Co(r?)nelius Jones!
Fluff on MI QB Commit Devin Gardner. It's nothing you've never heard before, if you're more inclined to not click Free Press links.
Inkster has eight road games and three brutal trips to Ohio to play against Cleveland St. Edward, St. Ignatius and Steubenville High -- all powers.
With no home games and needing to win five games just to make the playoffs, Gardner's situation is different from any top-flight quarterback in the state.
I've yet to figure out why the Vikings have no home games. There's a pretty good photo gallery by the Free Press, as well. There was video floating around the interwebs of Gardner's performance at a scrimmage last week, but it appears to have been taken down.
Rivals AMP caught up with QB Commit Cornelius Jones. They're currently not allowing embedding of said video, but Jones says he's 100% solid with Michigan. He's open to switching positions once he gets to Ann Arbor, but will come in as a quarterback. Jones's high school season began on Friday, and you can see how it went in this week's Friday Night Lights feature.
By the way - there's still some confusion about whether Jones's first name is "Cornelius" or "Conelius" (no 'r'). Alas, I've been unable to definitively clear that issue up, so I'll continue with option A until it can be settled once and for all.
Officially Visitin' (Or Not)
Hopefully once the season gets underway, I'll be able to devote an entire section of each recruiting post to that week's docket of visitors. For now:
OH TE Alex Smith has started talking about his favorites, despite being "committed" to Cincinnati. I think at this time it's fair to say he's no longer a commit to the Bearcats, they just lead for him. Wisconsin and UNC are atop his list behind Cincy, with Kentucky shortly behind. Smith's only scheduled official visit thus far is to Wisconsin for the season opener, and a Michigan visit no longer sounds like a lock.
WI P Will Hagerup had named his official visit to Michigan for the Western game on September 5, those plans are changing. He'll now head to Ann Arbor for the Indiana game on September 26th. This will be his last official visit before deciding, which is a minor boost to Michigan's chances.
Michigan will get an official visit from VA LB Aramide Olaniyan, currently a Duke commit ($, info in header). He's taking all five visits, so the Wolverines may have a chance to pry him away with Duke if they really want him.
Though there was talk about who would be getting Sharrif Floyd's official visits in the last update, he intends to change his plans for those visits ($, info in header). Since Michigan was not under consideration in the previous list, any chage is good for the Wolverines. No word on whether they're in his newly-adjusted plans.
Scouting Reports? Scouting Reports
Rivals covered a couple scrimmages, and talks about a couple M prospects of note:
S- Latwan Anderson- Glenville- After turning in a great performance vs. Elyria Catholic from the safety spot, Anderson put on a show at wide receiver against Cardinal Mooney. He made a spectacular catch above his head along the sideline against Braylon Heard. He also made a circus one-handed catch out of bounds that drew loud applause from the crowd. At safety, he forced a fumble at the goal line on Braylon Heard.
WR- D.J. Williamson (Michigan commit)- Warren Harding- Speed will never be an issue with Williamson, he can really glide on the football field. He is still growing into a natural receiver, but should really benefit from having a solid passing quarterback take over at Harding, transfer Jordan Miller. Williamson also played some cornerback, and showed good ability to break on the football.
Williamson sounds like a potential sleeper; you can't teach speed. Ohio HS Sports.com also took a look at a few players, including WR Jerald Robinson:
Jerald Robinson, WR/DB , Canton South -- Michigan commit is always a big-play threat and also had 7 interceptions last year. His three-year QB has graduated and he'll face double and triple teams, but he'll still produce.
So, hooray for that, I guess. A lot more preview-type stuff on Michigan commits in Friday Night Lights.
Defensive Backin'
OH S/WR Bobby Swigert has narrowed to a list of four suitors: M, Stanford, Nebraska, and BC.
If things go as planned, Cullen Christian may end up as the "Guy Everyone Took For Granted And Aren't Excited When He Commits" for the class of 2010. He's still saying good thing about Michigan, and will play multiple positions for Penn Hills this season:
"Michigan is No. 1, but I probably won't make my decision until sometime during the season. I don't know how close I am to pulling the trigger...
Teams didn't throw the ball to my side much last year. At safety, I can make plays."
He is taking official visits to UCLA, WVU, and Maryland in the first month of the football season. I would presume one more official visit, then hopefully a commitment to Michigan when he takes his final visit to Ann Arbor.
FL CB Tony Grimes has narrowed to a top 3 of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ole Miss. He does not plan to make a final decision until Signing Day.
CA WR Kenny Stills is still nominally considering Michigan. I wouldn't get your hopes up, though he may be taking an official visit. OH DE Derrick Bryant once favored Michigan, but now it appears as though he doesn't want to play in the Big Ten ($, info in header). He currently favors UCLA, Oregon, Kentucky, and North Carolina. MD OL Arie Kouandjio has named 8 schools on top of his recruitment, and Michigan isn't among them. He's bumped down to a Nefarious Eduardo, and is soon to be removed. Removed FL CB Eric Mitchell, who committed to Ole Miss.
AP: Everybody Panic! Internet: Eh, Not So Much, Probably
Don't panic. Probably. Fake SI cover courtesy Don Hammond.
In the unorganized morass that is my non-Thunderbird inbox there is one email labeled "URGENT!" by its sender and it points to this article, specifically the headline:
Wolverines plan to play 3 QBs in opener, coach Rich Rodriguez says
Though this has since been changed to "Michigan Eyes Quarterback Shuffle" without any mention of the previous 50-point bowel-destroyer—as is the wont of media organizations whose OMG HITS editors go too far with their provocative headlines, see "Win at All Costs" and Detroit Free Press—you can see the remnants of the original in the title tag. (Unless this, too, has been altered without notice by the time you read this.)
Though Rodriguez dismisses the "if you've got two, you've got none" axiom about binary quarterbacks—ie, the only valid digits are 0 and 1—surely if you've got three you've got none. And that goes double when one of the three completed 16 of 49 in the last two games of last season and looks like Billy Bob Thornton just got done cutting his hair in The Man Who Wasn't There.
Doctor Saturday, however, points out that the headline does not match the quote in the article:
beware the extreeeeemely misleading headline hitting all the wires Sunday that suggests Rich Rodriguez may rotate three quarterbacks in the Wolverines' opener against Western Michigan. That header is based on a teasing throwaway line -- "Maybe we'll have three starting quarterbacks," Rodriguez said. "That would be neat." -- from the bottom of an obligatory media day story whose first 23 paragraphs focus exclusively on freshman's Denard Robinson's totally quirky habit of playing with his shoelaces untied.
Rodriguez's statements, in fact, have a distinct air of noncommittal football coachspeak (which obviously):
"Until we play a game and see how they perform under game conditions we won't know for sure if anybody solidifies the starting role," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez declined to identify a frontrunner. Asked if he's seen separation from the three candidates, he said, "Some days, and some days I don't."
And the most recent post on this blog contains a full-fledged debunk from Tim Sullivan on the matter:
The "all 3 QBs will take snaps" AP article floating around is really disingenuous. The only time Rodriguez mentioned such a thing was a joke that all 3 would play at the same time. While it wouldn't surprise me if all three guys took some snaps against Western, this current talk is really much ado about nothing.
Okay, panic averted, especially given the AP guy's previous unreliability* and the half-retracted headline above.
But here's my most mournful HOWEVA eva: Rittenberg interpreted that the same way and Greg Dooley of MVictors, who was also there, has a quote that states flat-out the retracted headline was accurate:
When asked if for the opener, there's a good chance each of the three quarterbacks (Sheridan, Forcier, Robinson) will take snaps, Rodriguez's answer was, "Yes. Yeah. In what order and how many (snaps) I couldn't tell you. Right now all three of them look like they'll play in the opener." I gasped.
I pinged Tim again and he recalled that quote as referring to the entire season, but he didn't want to call Greg a liar and neither do I. The totally reliable Angelique Chengelis also has the same quote but adds a disclaimer Greg left out: "Again, it's two weeks out. There is a lot that's going to happen in the next two weeks."
So what we have here is both an object lesson on the multifaceted nature of perception and awareness—yea, verily our lives are not that different from those of the common housefly even if we've evolved away from the compound eye—and what appears to be an admission by Rich Rodriguez that the freshmen are not clearly superior to a guy who was Not Good a year ago.
I still think this is complete horsecrap coachspeak and Nick Sheridan's time as a starter has expired, by the way, but the quote is the quote, unless it's not. Here's another quote, with the bold mine:
"We've gotten it out of some of the young quarterbacks, Denard and Tate (Forcier) and even Nick (Sheridan). Nick has improved his play, and some of the new guys (and) the new freshmen have come on."
"Even our redshirt junior." Compound eyes and all that. Could the official site please start posting full transcripts?
*(Assumption: unnamed AP reporter is Larry Lage since he's the local AP guy who covers Michigan stuff. 1) Lage got on the radio a couple weeks ago and claimed he "did not buy" Michigan's home-and-home with UConn was a real thing because it had only been reported by the UConn Rivals site. At that point it had made it into originally-sourced pieces in Connecticut newspapers, IIRC, and anyway anyone with their ear to the ground couldn't help but have heard from someone who it was. 2) Remember the "Get a life" kerfuffle towards the tail end of last year? It was Lage who sliced a detailed answer from Rodriguez on how he deals with fans into the most unflattering two sentences he could and thereby ignited Yet Another Dumb Media Firestorm. Moral: take AP stuff on Michigan with a grain of salt.)
Meanwhile in Denard Robinson. I am somewhat less certain that Tate Forcier is the once and forever starter than I was on Wednesday when I told a bar full of people "there are no people not named Tate Forcier" but it's not Sheridan that's caused the wobble. It's Denard Robinson, the real focus of the story that started the above hubbub and this year's "you may remember me from such Mountaineers as" target.
QB coach Rod Smith:
Offensive coordinator Calvin Magee said Robinson is bigger than Pat White was when he came to West Virginia as a freshman, and quarterbacks coach Rod Smith said Robinson's speed compares favorably to White's.
"I don't want to blow him up, but he's fast," Smith said. "He's fast. It's fun to watch because when he breaks through - and I love Pat to death, but I'm not so sure this kid - he's fast. They're close."
Indeed, the official site's "Letters from Camp" has a lot of stuff like this:
• Robinson scored on a 58-yard run around the left side of the offensive line.
• Quarterback Denard Robinson had a pair of plays over 40 yards, including a 45-yard TD pass to receiver Greg Mathews in the two minute drill.
• Quarterback Denard Robinson accounted for four touchdowns at practice, scoring a pair of rushing scores and tossing two TD strikes.
• During a third down drill, Robinson escaped from the pocket and had a long 72-yard touchdown run down the right sideline.
• The practice session ended as Robinson tossed a 78-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brandon Moore down the right hash mark.
And Fred Jackson's gotten all McGuffie on him, with bonus sad type of program under Carr quote:
"I promise you this, there ain't nobody in the country who can catch him," Jackson said. "In my 18 years here, I've never seen a kid that fast. Nowhere. And I've seen some fast kids on other teams, (but) I've never seen anybody that fast.
"I mean, it's scary. Every time you miss him in practice, strike the band up, it's a touchdown. He's going to shock a lot of people."
This time last year that hype was going to a kid now at Rice. Jackson might not have been totally wrong—since McGuffie had his moments and if he hadn't gotten his face crushed could have been a change-of-pace back or a slot receiver—but the "I've never seen a kid like this!" gambit doesn't work if you use it every year.
At the very least, Robinson will get a snap or a drive or a package from game one and will be given an opportunity to show whether or not "Denard Robinson is made of dilithium" translates to games.
Michigan Media Day: The Coaches
Rich Rodriguez (video available from MGoBlue here).
On preparation:
- The coaching staff has a pretty good idea where they are at this point in the preparation for the season. They aren't ready to play a game yet (who in the country really is), but the staff is confident that they'll be able to get ready for WMU in the next two weeks.
- More players have bought in to the system than had at this time last year. It's not that the players weren't trying to buy in last year, they just now know what is expected of them, and the coaches know more about what each player is capable of.
- The 2nd-year jump may be partially attributable to the fact that a lot of young players have gotten time in the first year of his coaching tenure. Last year's team was very inexperienced offensively, which led to some of the struggles. He feels good about the progress this year's team has made, but he also felt the same way last year.
- Last year must be used as a learning experience. They know what players they have, and how to get the program from where it is to where they want it to be. It's not happening as fast as he wants, but the path from point A to point B is now visible. Within the next two recruiting classes, the roster should be built up to where they want it to be. For now, early playing time is a big draw for recruits.
On Saturday's scrimmage (MGoBlue notes):
- There were both explosive offensive plays and also some defensive stops. Part of the inconsistency has to do with a lack of depth.
- All 3 QBs took reps with the first team, though Sheridan was the first guy out there (not necessarily the best, mind you). The guys have different skill sets, but all will learn the whole offense.
- The QB situation should be settled by the first game, but probably not long before it. Note: The "all 3 QBs will take snaps" AP article floating around is really disingenuous. The only time Rodriguez mentioned such a thing was a joke that all 3 would play at the same time. While it wouldn't surprise me if all three guys took some snaps against Western, this current talk is really much ado about nothing.
- It's hard to tell where your team is when you're playing only your offense against your defense. Rodriguez reiterated his desire to have a preseason scrimmage.
- Rodriguez likes to be able to play 20-22 guys on defense, but he's not sure if they have enough depth this year to be able to do that.
- The LBs at the top of the depth chart are good, there is just very little depth. Ezeh, Mouton, Demens, and Stevie Brown are pretty good, but the remaining depth is almost all freshmen.
- Jason Olesnavage and Brendan Gibbons are leading the pack at kicker. Bryan Wright and a freshman walk-on (apologies, as I didn't catch the name. I believe it was Kris Pauloski) are behind the first two.
- He's not worried about establishing one running back. The best guys will play, and the offense needs at least 3 guys.
- Odoms and Mathews are looking to be the primary punt returners, with Cissoko the main man on kickoff returns. Some freshmen are involved in the battles, and simply catching the ball would be an improvement from last year.
- Warren, Cissoko, Floyd, Teric Jones, and JT Turner are the main corners, with walkon Tony Anderson behind them. There isn't great depth there. Still no word on whether Witty will get in (note: this isn't a good sign, most likely).
- Koger and Webb are both much better than they were last year. They should see some increased passes coming their way.
- The Offensive line has stayed healthy, which is a huge improvement over last year. There's a bit of a battle at right tackle, and David Moosman can back up Molk at center. All three freshman OLs (Lewan, Schofield, Washington) will eventually be outstanding players for Michigan.
On GERG:
Greg Robinson has a good plan and lots of experience. He understands what certain players are and are not capable of. The team will play against a variety of different offenses, so being able to defend both power teams and spread teams is important. And what a better transition to...
Greg Robinson
- The decision to come to Michigan was an easy one - "It's Michigan." He and his wife have felt comfortable from the beginning.
- The 4-3 Under is similar to the USC system, but there are some different tactics used than Pete Carroll's squad does. Robinson's scheme has more of a 2-deep flavor, while USC typically has a single-safety or 3-deep scheme. While Carroll is developing more Cover-2 elements, it all depends on what the opponent will try to do.
- Stevie Brown will be able to match physical play just fine, despite being a former safety. He's also an advantage when the field is spread.
- Brandon Graham has a future playing in the NFL, and Mike Martin is a physically gifted player. When his fundamentals develop, he'll only get better. Depth on the DL, however, needs to develop - a process that started in the offseason.
Tony Dews
- JR Hemingway will probably be one of the best big-play guys this year, so not having him last year was a big blow.
- Je'Ron Stokes will start out as an outside receiver - not a slot.
- The wideout group practices their blocking technique as much as they do any other aspect of playing the position. They block as often as they catch or run routes.
Greg Frey
- Coach Frey doesn't like setting concrete expectations. They pigeonhole you into a ceiling, and give an excuse to stop pushing yourself once you hit the expectation.
- Players are more comfortable in the system this year than they were last year. There is more competition, which allows everyone to push themselves.
- Steve Schilling is a good player and person. He moved to guard to help the team, because they needed him more at that position.
- Players are more comfortable in the system this year than they were last year. There is more competition, which allows everyone to push themselves.
- Mark Huyge had a good camp last year, but got hurt and missed 5-6 weeks of the season. That helps explain his seemingly-sudden emergence as a factor at tackle.
- All the redshirt freshmen are athletic, and hard workers. The mental game might be the hardest part, as they have to learn that making mistakes is OK as long as you understand and correct the issue.
Information from the players will be coming up later this week.
MGoBlog's Handy Suggestion Hour
Right, so if you go to Canada for a weekend you are advised not to leave your laptop on top of your car overnight, especially if it's going pour down rain for a brief period of time. After an array of panic-inducing STOP blue screens of death that boded very ill for my laptop, my season preview, and my sanity, I have managed to extract the most critical bits of information from my PC and get them onto an external hard drive. I have learned a very valuable lesson about backups and making them extremely convenient so you don't fall off the wagon after a while.
A new laptop is being lovingly assembled in Malaysia. In the meantime, which is unfortunately scheduled to last a week into the season, I am using all-purpose backup PC, which is old and slow. It also needs to be whipped into usable shape after a long layoff. Also I'm behind after three days sans internet and a three-hour delay on my plane flight back from New York. Upshot for readers: slow day today. Bear with me as I put the gun back in the drawer.
BLOGPOLL NOTE: Due to this and a number of login issues I wasn't able to address for obvious reasons the poll will be delayed until Wednesday.
SIDE NOTE: the laptop currently in a hospital bed with an extremely erratic pulse has not only been on for basically two straight years but it's suffered a vast array of indignities. The fan's been tetchy for a while. When I took it to New York I dropped it, hard, shattering a hinge but leaving the functionality of the thing uncompromised. Now it's gamely whispering all my data onto its will after being rained on and almost dying. I'm thinking of nicknaming Junior Hemingway "Dell Vostro 1500."
Blogpoll Preseason Final Ballot
This is the final for preseason. Changes from draft:
|Southern Cal
|Virginia Tech
|Ohio State
|Penn State
|Oklahoma State
|Georgia Tech
|Miami (Florida)
|Boise State
|North Carolina
- Dropped UCLA, on whom I was being irrationally exuberant. Even if they improve markedly from last year, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be one of the 25 most deserving college football teams.
- Added Kansas in place of UCLA (though I moved them a couple sots back). They were a decent, not great team last year, and they return most of the pieces from a strong offense, and nearly all of the defensive line, to go along with the entire secondary. I have trepidation about their offensive line (must replace 3 starters, and a couple guys might be changing positions) and their linebackers (no starters return), but what team in the back end of the poll doesn't have a few question marks?
- Bumped Oklahoma State up, both because I had underrated them slightly I think (even if they have to replace 5 starters on defense, a mediocre defense still had them achieving at a high level least year), and because some of the teams ahead of them were overrated (i.e. the Miami Hurricanes, who also moved behind Iowa).
- Moved North Carolina into the poll, at the expense of Notre Dame. I didn't originally want to include the Irish in the poll at all (because they certainly haven't done anything to deserve over the past couple years), but couldn't think of a better team to slot in. UNC provided that. The change in that area caused a lot of things to change very slightly (i.e. Boise State moved down a bit).
- A couple more minor changes, though nothing bigger than moving a team up or down a spot.
When I originally filled out my ballot, it didn't seem like there were enough teams for 25 spots. Now, I feel like I have too many, and felt guilty leaving off an outfit like Nevada. All we can do is bide our time until Actual Football kicks off (10 days!) so we can see which teams really deserve their spots.
Women's Soccer vs. Arkansas
Arkansas 2 - Michigan 0
Before getting into some of the details of the game, it would help to refer back to the season preview that FormerlyAnonymous wrote last Sunday. The biggest thing to note, is that this Michigan's first home game in 2 years. Last year the team played at local high schools and even the occasional baseball outfield. While this facility is very temporary (the "locker rooms" are those portable buildings used as construction offices), the team appeared to really appreciate having a true home pitch with a grand stand and lights. I got there about five minutes into the game, and the stands were almost totally full, with about one third of the fans rooting for Arkansas. After the game I asked Coach Ryan what it was like to have his first true home game at Michigan:
Michigan has given us a great place to play. I want to thank the administration for providing us this wonderful venue. It is great to be able to play at home, at night and in front of our own fans. I just wish we would have played well.
I'll get to the last part in the second, but the Athletic Department really did put some money in a facility that will be replaced in year. The amenities are spartan (port-o-potties, mobile hot dog cart), but the field itself is amazing. Walking across it, I felt like I was walking down a fairway of a Country Club that should have thrown me out. It's just about the nicest patch of grass I've ever seen.
On the actual game, Michigan started out fairly well. They were able to move the ball and control the flow of the game. Most of the action was kept in the Arkansas end of the pitch with Michigan getting two decent shots on goal and three corner kicks. While the team was playing fairly well, there were a number of missed opportunities, either passes out of range of the cutting player, crosses that didn't get far enough into the box and players losing individual battles against the defenders. Coach Ryan described it:
I don't think we attacked like we meant to score a goal. I think we did very well getting up from the back into the final third, but then we wanted to go back again. I am very disappointed that we didn't take the kind of risks to score goals.
Despite the opportunities, Michigan wasn't able to get a goal. In the 36th minute, Arkansas got a mini break and got a rare opportunity in the Michigan zone. Kaily Anders ripped a shot from 30 yards that just snuck in under the crossbar. To me, that really seemed to change the game, and Coach Ryan agreed:
...I think the game really changed when they scored that first goal. I think the girls were shocked since they were playing better at that point and Arkansas gained some momentum.
From then on, Michigan never really had any momentum, and just let Arkansas dictate the rest of the game. In the 77th minute, Arkansas got another goal, and Bill Martin, who had been taking in the game with his wife, decided the game was basically over and took off. To all you resolute Michigan fans that stay through the entire game, the Event Staff person I was standing by made sure to jovially call Mr. Martin out on it. The game was effectively over at this point. There was one late free kick about 25-30 yards out which stood out to Coach Ryan when I asked him about set pieces after the game:
[Our set pieces] were terrible. We had one there near the end where we didn't even get the ball past the defensive line and they countered us off it.
One of the lone bright spots was the play of the two freshman starters, Eunnie Kim on the left wing and Holly Hein at center forward. Kim had a really nice shot attempt in the second half that elicited a nice diving save by the Arkansas keeper. A lot of action seemed to go to her side and she handled herself very well even in some physical plays in her first collegiate game. Hein's play was not as obvious to me in the middle. She had some nice balls to start breaks, but Ryan said she needs to be used more. Like a talented post in basketball, a good center forward needs to have quality ball touches in order to make an impact.
Coach Ryan was very obviously upset by the play of his team. I asked him what needed to change in order for the team to become successful against Valparaiso and into the future, and he didn't really lay out a rosy picture:
Mental toughness, grit. If your playing scared of Arkansas, your going to be scared of every team in the Big Ten. We're either going to have to toughen up or wait until we get players that are tough enough.
This isn't going to be a quick turnaround, especially when Ryan only had two scholarships to hand out. With the new facility coming next year (Ryan claims it will be one of the best in the region) and five scholarships coming available, we should really be able to see Ryan's vision come to fruition. As of now, despite being in his second year, he doesn't have many of his players and some of the players he inherited aren't really suited to what he wants to do (any parallels you can think of?). In 2010, we should see the plan coming together, and in 2011 this will be Coach Ryan's team, and if they are not competing for a Big Ten title, it is all on Ryan.
Note: Michigan played Valparaiso today, winning 2 - 1, despite only scoring one goal. Valpo went up 1-0 early with the equalizer coming on an own goal when a ball was served into the box and headed into the goal by the defense. The winning goal was scored by Kristen Goncalves who beat the goalie on a 1 on 1 after a long pass from midfield by last year's goal leader Amanda Bowery. Maybe these are the types of risks Coach Ryan was talking about.

Strongsville, Ohio (AP) -- President Barack Obama is delivering a new appeal to Congress on health care -- "we need courage."
Addressing a crowd in Ohio on Monday, Obama was briefly interrupted by a woman who shouted, "we need courage."
He quickly adopted the line and repeated it.
Obama had used his speech to try to reassure seniors that his health care plan will make medicare stronger.
Obama and congressional democratic leaders are scrambling to secure the support for his top domestic initiative, with votes possible later this week.
They are trying to persuade nervous democrats to back the legislation.
Obama's Ohio appearance was his third campaign-style event in a week.

Dear Emile
Don't let that nasty Nige tell everyone you're useless.
I might have spent most of my time here saying you're a donkey, but you're a very good donkey :-)
Seems someone really likes the new manager. If we carry on winning I will too.

In all seriousness, I felt sorry for him really over the last couple of months. He is a nice bloke (put his hand in his pocket to help bail out Leicester when he was at Liverpool. I know Nige has a bee in his bonnett about him, but as long as he busts a gut :-), I'm leaving him alone.

I suppose I do have a bee in my bonnet about him Dan, and thats because he was bought to score goals at Blues, and his total of 4 or was it 5?...that wasn't really worthy of his fee. He was partly responsible for our previous relegation,...but I do wish him all the best really, he seems a genuine bloke, just he doesn't do what a striker should do...score enough goals.
Hope he proves me wrong, just not when we play you lot though.
the man has taken a lot of stick from every group of supporters in the land. so if you are going to sing his praise do it properly.

Emile Heskey walks into the 'Figure of Eight' in Brum City Centre.
Emile say's to the barman,,,,,," A p p pint of B B Bitter , P Please B Barman"
The barman pulls the pint...hands it to our Emile, and say's to him " Here you are Donkey face".
The bloke standing next to Emile say's.."Blimey, Emile , I would have hit him (like any true Brummie would) if he had called me that, what's wrong with you?"

I was listening to Call Collymore on Talk Sport.
Collymore wanted to know if Houllier was the man to get Emile to net a 20 goal haul this season!!
1 swallow does not make a summer. Yes, credit where credit is due, Emile has scored a couple of handy goals of late and set one up V's Blackburn....................But 20 goals????
But still, heading in the right direction and almost in a Chamions League spot!!!
Smile when you are winning

Hi ladies. I see there is a lot to praise God for.
Happy birthday to Joe, Bon.
Martica, That was not the right job for Pedro. The right one is coming.
I had the most wonderful thing happen today. I was talking to my step son Matthew (we had his party yesterday) and I asked him if he enjoyed his birthday. He told me yes and with glee in his voice said "It was my BEST birthday ever!"
We had a house full yestday. The inflatable waterslide combo was a really big hit with all the kids. There was kids from 6 to 18 in that thing. At one point they all came in and changed clothes and next thing you know they are all in the thing again in those clothes and wet to the bone. Too funny. God blessed us with the perfect day. Some rain but the kids did not care because they were getting wet anyway. No thunder or lightening, warm but no harsh sun to burn them. Today is gloomy, windy and cool. I really feel blessed.

According to my plans it is very important, that I can track how many people visit each of my posts. Therefore I would like to force them to "enter" the post before they can click a link or watch a video.

Golfers don't warm up to the cold
Gothenburg struggled during extremely cold weather conditions at the Lexington Invitational played April 15 at the Lakeside Country Club.
Temperatures hovered just under 30 degrees when golfers teed off.
"When it was over it was 37 degrees and not too nice at all," Swede coach Don Graham said. "The kids that I talked to, most of them said they couldn't feel their hands. It was just a miserable day."
Gothenburg placed eighth among the eight teams competing. McCook posted the best team score of 312. Cameron Bargell of North Platte took meet medalist honors with a 72.
Improved conditions are promised by the weather forecast as the Swedes will host the Gothenburg Invitational Thursday.

I purchased two light bulbs from this shady operation at the price listed on their web site. Shortly thereafter they contacted me and raising the price by 33%. After I received the very expensive appliance bulbs one of them blew after anly a few times being on. The previous bulbs lasted 10 years given the infrequent use inside the appliance.
Now comes the fun part. They have NO customer service phoine number. They make you fill out lengthy forms. After you submit them they ask you for more forms and more information. Never ending requests. I'm pretty sure from the language that NO HUMAN is involved, It's an electronic loop designed to wear you out. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS.

Hello all
I followed a road that went ever ever on, and ended right in the middle of a discussion on who is anyone's favorite Silmarilion character.
Ever since I got Lord of the Rings read by my mother as a good night story, I have been lost to the charms of the real world. MiddleEarth has a beauty, a history, and a feel that surpasses anything I have met here (well... apart from my wife and children, but still...).
From Lord of the Rings I went straight to The Hobbit, and then to Silmarilion, and I've been there ever since. I like the movies, but I love the books, and I am looking forward to seeing hobbits on screen again soon.
And by the way - my favorite character in Silmarilion is the dog Huan.

The Toyota Avalon has always occupied a sort of tenuous middle ground between the Camry and its Lexus platform mate, the ES, in that it is somewhat larger and nicer than the former, but lacks the brand cache and upscale interior detailing of the latter despite costing nearly as much. The ES pips it on rear seat legroom as well, a category you'd think the longer Avalon would surely excel in. So then, what purpose does the Avalon serve in the Toyota ecosystem? Let's find out.

Regular readers will have noticed by now that there is a general preponderance of Dodge Charger and Challenger models featured on our site…this is no mere coincidence. We at Speed:Sport:Life are huge fans of the breed in general – that is, torque-heavy, rear-wheel-driven, throwback American muscle cars. Dodge makes some of the absolute best cars in the business right now at fitting that exact criteria, and as long as they keep making them, we're happy to keep driving them. The SRT 392 that recently spent a week with me is a perfect example of what makes the model so great.
Like the Challenger I drove a few weeks back, sales of the four-door Charger are primarily comprised of V6 and R/T V8 models, rather than the fire-breathing SRT models that typically grace the pages of buff books. Furthermore, for the middle class family man who needs a practical sedan, but doesn't want to succumb to the boredom of a CamCordTima or the predictability of the rear-wheel drive compact luxury class, a big American brute like the Charger R/T provides a compelling alternative. What are the highlights and pitfalls of making such a choice? Read on to find out.
When we drove the new 2015 Challenger and Charger models last year, our drive time was admittedly skewed toward the top-dog SRT models. Though you can probably guess why that was the case (we were mostly focused on lapping the track), it's really the V6 and R/T V8 models that make up the bulk of sales orders for these cars. In a few weeks, we'll have a review of the 5.7-liter Charger R/T, and in the meantime, read on for our impressions of the V6-powered Challenger SXT.
Though my ownership punch card skews heavily in favor of the import, I'm a documented fan of the American car as a species. I owned and loved a 5-liter 2011 Mustang GT. I find the current Corvette to be an absolutely fantastic specimen (though the Camaro leaves me a little cold). And though it's been only a short while, I can consider myself an honest Mopar fan thanks to the Hellcat – specifically, the Challenger Hellcat I spent some time with over the summer. And now the newest variant to receive the monster 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat powertrain – the 2015 Charger – looks set to bring my budding domestic love affair to a full boil.
Dodge pulled the covers off the fastest sedan in the world today with the introduction of the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. The Charger SRT Hellcat has the same 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat engine from the SRT Charger Hellcat and produces 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft of torque. Dodge says that the Charger SRT Hellcat has an NHRA certified 1/4 mile time of 11.0 seconds on street tires, and a top speed of 204 mph. We've got the full tech rundown and 69 photo gallery after the jump. Get ready to pick your jaw up off the floor. Read More

RSL's Agent Diaz Patch

"Agent Diaz" is surely a very appreciated modification, and for good reason.
Various sources for resources and/or inspiration (see below):
Wildweasel for the "Agent Diaz" series, Player and ChaingunGuy sprite replacements, custom sounds
Vaecrius for his famous recoil/muzzle climb script
Psyren/DoorHenge for the ZBlood custom blood system
ShizzMaster for the custom 'bloodpool' gore effect
Rex Claussen for "Darkest Hour"'s custom palette
Monolith and Tormentor667 for the custom font.

It worked for me. And I found it pretty good, too - I don't like the sci-fi weapons in Diaz 2, I'll stick with classic. -FD
This patch crashes Zdoom and GZdoom.
me too likes classic diaz - 4 repeatin ol levels ,-) Latest versions are good, but classic version still has reason to exist - even more so after ur patch! trOllhAtEr
This patch to the original fixes the inconsistency of chaingunners dropping machineguns, amongst other things. I use this with hell-themed PWADs. There is another combination that goes well with urban/base maps, wwhc-diaz + diazpatch, making all enemies into humans & robots. I use a mouse with 4 buttons, as there are two new functions (reload and altfire). I like the fact that you can empty your magazine and quickly rush your enemy and hit them with your gun! :-)
Because I still somehow prefer the first version of Diaz and its simple arsenal, but couldn't stand some of its (reasonable at the time) rough edges. A new version has just been uploaded, should be up in a few days... --rsl ( P.S. I voted 4 => (2+4)/2=average )
Chalk me up for having no idea as to the point of why this patch got made. -ww

Silent Trace Eliminates Differential Eyeblink Learning in Abstinent Alcoholics
AbstractChronic alcoholism has profound effects on the brain, including volume reductions in regions critical for eyeblink classical conditioning (EBCC). The current study challenged abstinent alcoholics using delay (n = 20) and trace (n = 17) discrimination/reversal EBCC. Comparisons revealed a significant difference between delay and trace conditioning performance during reversal (t (35) = 2.08, p < 0.05). The difference between the two tasks for discrimination was not significant (p = 0.44). These data support the notion that alcoholics are increasingly impaired in the complex task of reversing a previously learned discrimination when a silent trace interval is introduced. Alcoholics' impairment in flexibly altering learned associations may be central to their continued addiction.

FDA Calls for Research on Lou Gehrig's-Statin Link
Lucky Merck. In the midst of its third try at persuading an FDA advisory committee that a statin is safe enough for patients to take it without a prescription, the agency jumped in with an update on one of the touchiest drug-safety issues out there: the cholesterol-lowering medicine's possible link to Lou Gehrig's disease.
There have been hints that the mega-selling statins might be tied to an increase in the risk — always tiny — of developing the neurological condition, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. The WSJ ran an in-depth report on the debate about the issue in July that was mentioned on an FDA slide today.
Anyway, Eric Colman, a reviewer in the FDA's division of metabolism and endocrinology products, ran through the evidence. He said a potential signal of elevated ALS risk for statin-takers showed up when the agency did a complex analysis of information in its spontaneous-reporting database. That database is full of reports submitted by doctors, patients and others, and such data can be of limited use. Colman said there was no sign of an increased ALS risk in the huge cumulative body of information from clinical trials of statins.
Overall, he said, the available information does "not suggest that statins increase the risk for ALS, certainly not to any large extent." But he added there is "uncertainty," and more research is needed.

I just thought I share this HowTo, about my experiences taking photos of Harold, The Traveling Castle Fig. So, here it is.
Harold proved more challenging than I thought to photograph with a landscape as a background. In the picture of a man in front of a landscape, the two main objects of interest (the man and the landscape) are very far one from another. A man can stand 3-5 meters away from the camera, the lens can focus to him, yet you can find an f-stop where the depth of field allows the landscape to show up nice and clear.
The problem with shooting a minifig is that it is very small. If it's placed at 3-5 meters away from the camera, it's going to appear too small. In order for it to show up in the picture, and give the feeling of a man posing in front of a landscape, it must be very close to the camera (30 to 40 cm). In this scenario, I couldn't find a normal lens that could focus either on the minifig or the landscape and an f-stop that could capture both of them clearly.
So I had to take two pictures:
1) one with the minifig in front of the landscape (focused on the minifig and the landscape blurred)
2) and a second one without the minifig, focused on the landscape.
I used a tripod to make sure that the scene is exactly the same in both photos. In this way the editing was easier, since the colors of the blurred landscape around the minifig, matched the colors of the landscape. The final edited photo looked quite original because the lighting is original and it's the same for both initial photos.
I also made a stick with lego, so that I could attach the minifig, or a plate, where more minifigs could stand. Then for my convenience, I took some test pictures to find the correct distance of the minifig from the lens, so that the minifig is focused clearly. When I found the correct distance, I put a mark on the lego stick (I simply used a green plate), so that it's faster to set the scene. Since the stick is about 50cm it's probably impossible to hold the stick by hand and have the minifig not moving at all. So, I attached it (very professionally as you can see) to the tripod. In this way, I could also take night shots. Of course if you have a place of the scene to put the minifig on, the stick isn't needed. But this is not always the case and even if you find such a place, the stick can still be used to measure the distance from the lens.

My account has been charged $373.80 and to date (September 22, 2005) I have not received my any product or contact from this company after numerous attempts to contact them by email and phone. At the same time I am writing this report I have been waiting on hold for customer service for 78 minutes with no results. There emails come back with "Thank you for your inquiry. A customer care representative will personally respond to your e-mail within the next 24 hours to provide you with the level of service that you can expect with the Singer Brand."
Over the past three weeks of at least once a week emailing I have never heard from anyone or can I get a person on the phone to dispute my charges.
I hope this crooks get caught for the damage they are doing to honest law abiding citizens.

These things are good for their use. I've used a 4 pack for at least 3-4 years, EVERYDAY. i put them in a radio that ran all day (about 15 hours) then at night i would recharge them. i did this everday, give or take the few times i couldn't chage due to power outage. so that's, let's say 350 times recharged a year, times 3 years is 1,050 times cycled. finally, yesterday, one of the batteries has failed. when fully charged it runs down within about an hour, hour and a half. But, the other 3 still work fine. they have lost a little bit of mAh rating over the year (which is to be exptected with all recharble batteries, no matter what the brand) so i'm still to this day using the other 3 batteries in another device. shelf life is decent, about 2 weeks before they drop from good to weak on battery tester, but this as well is to be exptected on MOST rechargable batteries. so if you are buying these storage, you are making a mistake (for storage you need a low self discharge battery which will hold charge for 3 years. i haven't been easy with these batteries. i have accidnetly dropped them on the floor and been shook around in the radio when carrying it around on my hip. The only thing i don't like about these batteries is that they don't have a warranty like the other high grade batteries. if one of those leaks and damages a device, the company will fix or replace the item. if these leak and destroy an item, well you're outta luck. but mine has seen abuse and i've never had no problem with them, but still, a warranty would be nice. but still i will use them for their price and that the fact i have tested them and they last. this time when i rebuy some recharable batteries, i'm gonna buy the harbor freight 2200 hi-cap batteries so they get a little bit longer run time if i would ever need it. i hope they last like these have!

Had a Nikon Point & Shot Digital Camera that these worked great in. Use them in a Polaroid Digital Point & Shoot & the flash is weaker with the NiMh than alkaline, where the Nikon, I didn't notice the difference. My son uses them in his Garrett metal detector, and they seem to last forever.We use these batteries everywhere, from small flashlights, cameras, baby toy cars & trucks & they have good power & last a long time between recharges. We buy them every time they are on sale & we still need more!

I've built RC battery packs from these and they work very well. They test at about 1600mah with high drain. Not as good as the High Capacity ones HF carries, but still very respectable and for a great price. Their on sale now, so I'm going to buy some more.

About sandiquiz
I have been a WU member since September 2005. Now a retired teacher, enjoying my garden, writing, sketching, taking photos, and having great fun!
By: sandiquiz , 8:26 PM GMT on February 16, 2014
After weeks and weeks of rain, wind and grey skies it was wonderful to awaken to sun - and wall to wall blue skies!
I had planned to go down by the lake if the weather was good, as forecasted, so after breakfast and the weekly phone call to his mum, I managed to rope in C, to come to carry the camera bag for me.
The lake was popular - the sun had brought out the walkers, the joggers, the cyclists, the photographers, and just those who wanted to be out in the sunshine after weeks of being ensconced in their homes!
I gave the little Panasonic Fz150 to C and I had the Canon. The Fz150 has a better all round lens, as the zoom lens allows you to get closer to the subject. But I soon realised the Canon has a quicker shutter, and a produces a sharper image. I think I had forgotten that about it after 18 months of using the Panasonic!
The following photos are a mixture of the Canon DSLR and the little Panasonic - there is hardly any difference, unless you look closely at the originals!
I saw resident mallards, a visiting oyster catcher, Canada and Greylag geese, moorhens, coots, a flock of black headed gulls and even a flying cormorant, but I didn't see the Kingfisher which I had been told was there! Never mind, I will have to go again, the next time the sun shines!
The sun shone from a cloudless sky, making the water ripple with sunbeams.
On the far bank there was a yacht race - but not real yachts, all remote controlled! The 'controllers' were having a wonderful time, enjoying the gentle breeze and the sun!
There was plenty of colour on newly emerging growth, alder catkins, mahonia and lots of red berries for the birds on cotoneaster plants that had gone wild around the banks.
I just had to take this image, because, even though the sun shone from a cloudless sky, and the wind was gentle .... this evoked memories of the weeks and weeks of torrential rain and relentless winds we have endured!
And finally - the "lesser-spotted-grinning dodo", alias C, who actually enjoyed himself, especially when I said I would treat him to a "pint" in the pub when we had finished!

7/22/2014 3:15 PM PDT, by Emily Trainham
This right here is Tallulah Willis, the youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and, as you can see, she wants us to believe that she's pregnant. You can tell because she posted that photo of her stomach looking pretty pregnant, and she wrote out this caption:
excited to meet my new little friend #happy #newlife #newbeginnings #babyonboard #blessed
And there's also this photo that she posted last week:
And here's the caption she used then:
#20wks #bumpwatch #CatsOuttaTheBag #blessed
So that's it, right? She sure sounds pregnant. Except wait! The thing is that Tallulah kind of seems like a major goof (in the most wonderful of ways). None of her Instagram followers seem to believe her, and she's posted other photos of herself in which she doesn't look quite so bumpy. That, along with the fact that she posts a photo of herself drinking giant cups of coffee nearly everyday (which, spoiler alert, a thing pregnant ladies aren't really supposed to do too much of), and the fact that she got a tattoo along her rib cage last month when she would have been about 16 or 17 weeks pregnant (pain!), kind of makes it seem like she might be fooling with this.
But hey, we need to congratulate Tallulah either way with this. Because either she's going to have a baby, which is so very sweet, or she's just one of the most adorable people out there in this world. Whichever way it goes, we're big fans.

No data is available about the lifespan of Platanista minor. The dolphins probably live for a long time since they are relatively large and require 10 years to reach sexual maturity. However, recent poor water quality and reduced habitat might affect the current longevity of these animals in the wild. At least a few Indus River dolphins have been kept in captivity, however, their longevity data is unavailable.
Average lifespan
Status: wild: 28.0 years.
