Does anyone have a conversion table for the Lee dippers for weight of #8 shot they hold? For example, how many ounces does 3.1cc of shot weigh?

I know of no chart showing this, but I believe you should wgt it yourself on a scale to see. The size of the shot will make a difference as it will alter the density of the shot in the cup. #12 will likely wgt more then a scoop of # 5s.
April 8, 2007, 09:01 PM
Sorry Ol' Joe- but that helped like- none at all.
I know of no chart either- hence my post. I don't have a scale- hence the post. I realize different shot will weigh differing amounts- hence my specifying #8 shot.
Anyone else?
April 8, 2007, 09:27 PM
CC's and ML's (at least of liquids) are very very close
IN liquids, there are 30 ml's (6 tespoons) in an ounce.
So for instance,
30 cc = 1 ounce
60cc= 2 ounces
90cc= 3 ounces.
and so on.
I don't know how that converts to the shot or the weights though
April 8, 2007, 11:05 PM
30 cc = 1 ounce
Problem here is ounce in this case is FLUID ounces=> volume.
It is not ounces as a measure of weight. 2nd problem is that volume to volume conversion is actually pretty close- as long long as you are talking about water, which has a density of 1 gram per milliliter. I am asking about #8 LEAD shot- which has a different density than H2O.
So I guess I still need help to answer my question.
April 9, 2007, 12:23 AM
The density of lead is: 11.34 g/cm^3. Mass=(density)(volume). Then multiply by the number of shot. There are 28.35 grams in one ounce. Be sure to observe your units.
April 9, 2007, 12:59 AM
IDriveB5: That is some sexy math, Now I'm excited except that there is no solution! Compounded a bit by the fact that the shot is spherical. Since I'm not the original barer of bad tidings, I'm afraid you have the conclusion Grayrock. You'll have to weigh the lead. CCs can of course be converted, but as a measure of volume. As far as ounces, there are 437.5 grains per ounce.;)

As a last resort give Lee a call. They make, or did years ago, an adjustable dipper for measuring shot that went with their little kit one used a hammer with to load. It may be a long shot but they might be able to help.
Sorry I can`t offer more help.

3.1 cc's of #8 shot weighs 280 grains (.64 ounce).
I had a 3.1 cc Lee dipper and a bag of #8 - nothing like empirical data, eh?

Well, the volume of a sphere is 4/3*pi*r^3, so all hed need to do is measure the diameter with his trusty caliper, which all reloaders have, right? :)
April 9, 2007, 11:58 AM
You might try Convert, a handy little freeware program for doing unit conversions:
It's also possible, should the existing formulae be lacking, to enter one of your own under the custom tab.
April 9, 2007, 12:01 PM
Purchase a scale.
You need it to reload safely anyway.
April 9, 2007, 05:22 PM
IDriveB5: Absolutely nothing wrong with your premise! It's the variables that would concern me. Is shot spherical, or is it a sphere? Would the diameter be consistent enough to base radius on?
Next question: what is the number of #8 shot in a 3.1 cc Lee dipper?:D
Interesting exercise and I think you'd be close . . .
Then again, the chances that you would get exactly 280 grains every time you weighed 3.1 cc of #8 shot with a LEE dipper, say ten times . . . like Captain Ramius said in The Hunt for Red October: "personally, I'd rate our chances no better than one in three."
The law of averages is definitely a factor here.;)
April 9, 2007, 10:42 PM
I would bet (some pocket change?) that the diameter of shot would be pretty consistent, especially if it is of high antimony. You could take a sample, measure them, calculate average, standard deviation and set up a confidence interval for the radius of the shot. I think you'd find that approximating each shot to be a sphere would be a reasonable approximation.
Then, to be even more accurate, you'd have to account for the fact that most lead shot is 97% lead and 3% antimony (p=~6.6g/cc).
So, now you have your weight of one #8 shot. All you have to do is count up your 262 #8s and you can multiply that by your weight for your individual shot. :D I'll pop the popcorn!
I'm almost curious enough to open up a shell.
Well, I got a little curious, so I opened up a shell, measured 25 #8s, made a couple assumptions and:
Conclusion: Approximating shot to be a sphere is a fair, but not perfect assumption. But who the hell counts out their shot anyway?;)
Grayrock- I'm sure you didnt expect all this debate when you posed a simple question, did you. I have to ask: you do have a scale, dont you?
April 10, 2007, 12:29 AM
I'm sure you didnt expect all this debate when you posed a simple question, did you
You got that right.
I have to ask: you do have a scale, dont you?
See post #3 above. I only load black powder and everything is done by volume.
With all the time you took to measure 25 spheres of shot and create the spreadsheet for it, you could have been dippin' and weighin' instead. THEN I would have had an answer.
Mal H
April 10, 2007, 09:44 AM
You DO have an answer - that is if you didn't just skip over my post above.
April 10, 2007, 10:16 AM
Mal H....never overlook the obvious :rolleyes:
Amazing how many people look hard for an answer that's right in front of them
Maybe if you'd say LOOK AT POST #9 they'd get it
April 10, 2007, 02:45 PM
My reply was more in response to CZ's post, regaurding consistency in diameter:
IDriveB5: Absolutely nothing wrong with your premise! It's the variables that would concern me. Is shot spherical, or is it a sphere? Would the diameter be consistent enough to base radius on?
and not so on the topic of the original post.
April 10, 2007, 06:58 PM
You DO have an answer - that is if you didn't just skip over my post above.
Got it- thanks. Do you think a simple ratio calculation would work for the other sizes? I just used 3.1cc as an example. I am looking for a conversion table that would detail the capacity for all of the dippers.
3.1cc DONE
and last but not least- 4.3cc
I appreciate your efforts. Better than the response I got from Lee- they told me to purchase the slide card (that I already have and that only details powder capacities- which was not what I asked them about.)
Oh, and redneck2: that was kind of negative, don't you think?
April 10, 2007, 07:02 PM
As far as I see it, Q&A ended in post #9. The component manufacturers are well aware of the differences likely to result in metering #8 shot.
Nevertheless, I happen to believe that math does have its place in reloading. If one doesn't have an inclination to feel the same way, I understand that as well.
IDriveB5, I applaud your tenacity in looking for a mathematical solution. What I'm seeing here is that you have 9 different diameters of shot in a sampling of 25. This is why I raised the question of diameter consistency for your original equation, especially since cubing radius is a factor. To make your original premise work, you would have needed at least an average of the nine diameters that also accounted for the deviation.
Now, is the popcorn ready?
"But who the hell counts out their shot anyway?" Well, the question I posed that resulted in you asking this, was a bit tongue in cheek, because some count would be necessary to establish at least an average diameter.;)
There is a conversion chart and I believe I have it around here somewhere. I believe it was done by Winchester.
April 10, 2007, 07:20 PM
grayrock- what you could do is fill you scoop with the desired shot, then dump this shot in water to measure the volume via displacement. This way you could very easily figure your weight of each scooper. Not having a set of these scoopers, I cant very well do it. I am suprised that there wasnt any sort of chart supplied. Also suprised that Lee wasnt of very much help- they are usually very helpful when I call them up.
CZ- thats why I used the average weight to do calculations. The number of different diameters is less important than the standard deviation. With 63% of all the shot being within a tenth of a grain, I would feel confident enough. Certainly not six sigma, but good enough.
Mal H
April 10, 2007, 07:24 PM
Grayrock - having one data point, though not sufficient for most exercises in the reloading game, does give you a figure to work with. So if 3.1 cc's weighs 280 grains, then that translates to approx. 90 grains/cc.
Intuitively, I think the smaller dippers (.3 cc to 1.0 cc for example) would be less consistent due to the irregular shape of the shot, and inconsistent air space in the dipper when filled with shot.
Since I have a small collection of Lee dippers - tell ya what I'm gonna do - I'll fill each with #8 and see what it weighs. Hold on a sec ...
I'm back (pretty darn quick, eh?)
(averages of 4 weighings with each dipper)
.3 cc = 23 grains
2.2 cc = 202 grains
3.1 cc = 284 grains (I did some more refining/averaging of this one)
3.4 cc = 310 grains
I believe my guess above about the small dipper is correct. The .3 cc dipper was all over the place in weights even though the average is given above.
The other 3 were fairly consistent and came in at an average of 91.5 grains/cc. I think that figure is useful for the dippers larger than 1.0 cc.
Oddly enough, each single shot ball of #8 was almost exactly 1.0 grain, but not quite close enough to use a shot count only for weight.
Ol` Joe
April 10, 2007, 07:35 PM
One would think Lee could be of more help they offer a shot dipper that is adjustable for various wgts by volume.
April 10, 2007, 08:33 PM
IDrive: Maybe I'm missing something, but are you saying that you had this covered in post #6?
Also, referring to the chart, with two known parameters: 280 grains and 3.1cc, if your values are for individual shot, it should be relatively easy to find the number of shot in a 3.1cc dipper dividing by volume cc, then multiplying that number of shot by weight to get 280 grains. What am I missing here?;)
April 10, 2007, 08:55 PM
Oh, and redneck2: that was kind of negative, don't you think?
If pointing out the obvious (to me) is negative, then yeah, I guess it was.
April 11, 2007, 12:41 AM
So this is what I come up with for #8 shot-
0.3cc- 27.5gr- 0.063oz
0.5cc- 45.8gr- 0.105oz
0.7cc- 64.1gr- 0.147oz
1.0cc- 91.6gr- 0.209oz
1.3cc- 119.1gr- 0.272oz
1.6cc- 146.6gr- 0.335oz
1.9cc- 174.1gr- 0.398oz
2.2cc- 201.5gr- 0.461oz
2.5cc- 229.0gr- 0.523oz
2.8cc- 256.5gr- 0.586oz
3.1cc- 284gr - 0.649oz
3.4cc- 311.5gr- 0.712oz
3.7cc- 339.0gr- 0.775oz
4.0cc- 366.5gr- 0.837 oz
and last but not least- 4.3cc- 393.9grains- 0.900oz
Now I can sleep soundly at night knowing that all is ordered in the universe.
April 13, 2007, 08:12 AM
My latest response from Lee:
No we do not have information on the capacity of lead shot, however we have an Adjustable Shot Dipper # 90973 and it is $3.98 plus $4.00 for shipping and handling.
(Insert "scratch head" smilie here.)
Mal H
April 14, 2007, 09:23 AM
I guess I don't understand the "scratch head" part. They have created a dipper that measures lead shot of any size in increments from 7/8ths to 1 7/8ths ounces. Isn't that what you were looking for?
April 14, 2007, 09:33 PM
I'm scratching my head because they did not answer my question and they are trying to sell me something else. But I guess that is the goal of a retail oriented corporation- sell me something I didn't even know I needed. I need something that will tell me how many ounces from a given finite volume, not vice versa. You see, I already have the "dippers" and am not wanting to purchase anything else. I am loading shot shells and need to reduce the payload of shot. I have a volume of shot in a shell that allows for a proper crimp. I want to know how many ounces that portion weighs. If I had had a conversion table like I was originally seeking, I could have just poured the shot into the dipper that fit and read off the weight. Luckily now I have my conversion table from a couple of posts back- so all is well.
April 14, 2007, 10:11 PM
Grayrock: I was hoping to get a response to post #24 because when I ran some numbers from the table based on what you need to do, the numbers didn't equate to 280-284 grains. Maybe I was running it wrong, but it appeared to me that you should be able to divide 3.1 cc by volume cc to get number of shot and then multiply the value for individual shot weight to get the weight for 3.1cc but it doesn't compute.
I haven't found mine yet, but these charts do exist. If your component dealer has load guides and such, they probably have one for shotgun reloading and it may have the table you need.;)
Mal H
April 14, 2007, 11:48 PM
CZ57, I think the flaw in that calculation is that air space is ignored.
April 15, 2007, 12:54 AM
Mal: that would certainly be a factor based on the number I got.;)
Ol` Joe
April 15, 2007, 09:44 AM
Gray rock I know you don`t want to hear this, but I still feel your best bet is to pick up a cheap scale if you are doing any type reloading. The amount you get of anything when useing dippers is suspect without a scale to verify the weight.
I`ve a set of Lee powder dippers I have used off and on from the mid `60s and trust me I can dip 5 different weight charges with 5 dips useing the same dipper and powder. Lee gives a chart showning the "weight" value of each dipper but in my experiance they normally dip lite. They can however dip heavier then listed if one gets sloppy or lighter simply by dipping from a full powder can or running it in a shallow ashtray. Pulling the dipper through the powder varies the charge. Shaking the top off the dip varies the charge, Brushing the top of the dipper to "even it out" varies the charge. Ball powders seem to dip more evenly then extruded and "Flake" powders seem to give "me" the most variation. You may do better then me, but with out a scale to verify the wgt you don`t really know how consistant you are.
Lead used in shot also varies depending on whether or not it is hard or soft shot. The amount of tin and antimony used will change the density, there may be measurable change in a 5cc volume of one over the other you won`t know about with out weighting. How much does the shot density vary between a short squat dipper cup to a tall thin diameter one? Does the air space stay the same between them?
I can see Lee not wanting to offer untested uses for their tools for other then their designed purpose.
Lee offers a cheap scale that would give some assurance and answer your question quite accurately for you. I would at least give one a thought.:)
April 16, 2007, 12:34 AM
I feel a scale is in my future. The electronic ones- any good? Or is the ol' triple beam balance sufficient? Don't all shotgun shell reloaders use charge bars that measure out both powder and shot based on the volume of a hole in the bar? Do I need to chunk my bars and measure out each load of powder and shot so I can get consistency? How does a Dillon 650 measure out powder?
April 16, 2007, 12:40 AM
I use a RCBS 5-0-5. has been a good scale and holds zero. Measures up to about 500 grains.

Unverified Voracity Upholds Lazy Tradition
A BYE WEEK TRADITION. UFRs Thursday and Friday on a bye week.
Compliance with the Dennis Norfleet Atomic Dog act of 2560.
Michigan WR Dennis Norfleet I'm gonna Be Your Dog forever! WOOF... http://t.co/z4acd4vtVX
— George Clinton (@george_clinton) October 14, 2014
At least let people prove they're bonafide. Michigan oversold basketball season tickets again. This time the sheer extent is lesser, as they've only sold 3250 tickets for 3000 seats instead of the 4500 last year, but they've again announced the rules after the tickets were bought… and you wonder if last year's policy reduced the number of people willing to buy this year. It's not like the team outlook is a whole lot different—Michigan was not expected to rampage through the Big Ten a year ago and looked a lot like a bubble team early.
Fewer claim periods (only three vs. six last season)
Missed claimed game penalties will only affect the ability to claim in the 3rd and final claim period (vs. penalties in each claim period last season)
Students will have the ability to return up to three (3) claimed games up to 24 hours before a game to account for last minute plans (not available last season)
Electronic tracking of scanned tickets for confirmation of attendance (not available last season)
I get that attendance is an issue; this is all stick, no carrot, though. There's a core of attendees who were at every game last year. They should get to just have normal tickets since they've proved their bonafides.
OSU is facing a ton of cover zero. They are rushing for 4.9 YPC anyway.
Well… more time isn't going to fix things. Not that you need convincing of this but here are the boggling numbers Ohio State is putting up minus Braxton Miller:
Ohio State ranks second in the Big Ten and 12th nationally in total offense at 523.6 yards per game. The Buckeyes' 44.6 points per game are second in the Big Ten and fifth in the country. And redshirt freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett ranks third in all of college football in passing efficiency.
And that's with the one-off collapse against Virginia Tech when Bud Foster reached deep into the playbook to bring out Buddy Ryan's old bear fronts. Opponents are trying to replicate that success weekly now, and Ohio State has adapted quickly.
OSU's line is mostly new and a bit more experienced than Michigan's, but it's the smallest possible gap. Michigan has two fourth year players, two third year players, and a freshman for a total of 10 years already on campus. OSU is at 11. They've only got one senior. Meanwhile, their backfield consists of all second year players: JT Barrett, Ezekiel Elliott, Dontre Wilson, and Jalin Marshall are all sophomores or redshirt freshmen.
If you know what you're doing you can put together some killer offenses without piles of experience these days; the coaching gap between Michigan and Ohio State is vast.
Upcoming quarterbacks. Nate Sudfeld is out for the year for Indiana, which is a huge blow for them after both Cam Coffman and Tre Roberson left the program this summer. Indiana went from one of the most solid situations in the league to auditioning true freshmen they hoped to redshirt. Unless they catch lightning in a bottle that's looking like a win. Indiana's defense is so permeable even Michigan will go up and down the field on them. Iowa scored consecutive 60-plus-yard TDs. I mean.
Northwestern is also having some issues with Trevor Siemian:
Siemian went down against Northern Illinois and needed to be taken out of the game without putting any pressure on his leg. It turns out it was an ankle injury. It was clear that if there was a game the next week, he would not have played. He healed during the bye week, and although he was not 100 percent, he played against Western Illinois.
It appeared the injury was improving, but this week, Siemian was limping at times, and he had a massive ball of tape on his ankles.
Northwestern's policy is that Pat Fitzgerald will not discuss injuries in-depth. He will get as specific as "upper body" or "lower body."
Maryland has CJ Brown back after a wrist injury, FWIW.
Redshirts? Michigan won't talk injuries but a lot of people are reading bad things into this statement from Hoke's teleconference yesterday:
With five games remaining for the Wolverines (3-4 overall, 1-2 Big Ten), Hoke was asked if it is time to consider looking at a redshirt for Peppers.
"We would handle that when the time would come," Hoke said.
I'm not sure how he's supposed to answer that question with the usual level of vagueness without implying that a medical redshirt is possible, so I don't read too much into that. I have heard that the injury is severe enough that it's certainly on the table. How much does that mean if Peppers is still likely to be a three-and-out guy? Maybe not much.
Meanwhile, Desmond Morgan is also eligible for a medical redshirt if he does not return and that was broached:
"I don't think there's any difference (between Morgan and Peppers), it just depends on how guys progress," Hoke said. "Us not doing anything or doing something with (Morgan), yeah (we could)."
Is there a cutoff point you have to get to in order to make that decision?
"I think we're kind of by it, in some way," Hoke said. "I didn't say (he'd miss the season), (but) I think there's a lot of possibilities."
That would make sense, as Michigan's not doing anything this year and Morgan might prefer another crack at being a senior… especially if he thinks he's got a shot at the NFL.
The Orsoning. He came, he saw, he cackled madly like he was Walter White in Crawl Space while looking almost exactly like Walter White in Crawl Space, and he writes about it:
The normal Michigan crankiness involves the complaints that all fanbases spanning a wide age range involve: that they do not run the ball enough, that the stadium speakers play music too loudly and too frequently now, that someone's knees stick into your back in the cramped stands, even with the rows of empty seats visible here and there. We don't run the ball enough. Bo, sainted Bo Schembechler, would never, ever have let a team not run the ball like this.
Those are normal complaints, the kind of ideological complaints any fanbase has in variation. See "Any older portion of the fanbase wondering why they're playing hip-hop where there are children," or "Team raised on fierce offense and naked aggression gets saddled with a dullard defensive coach." That might be me talking about Florida, because it is. The point is that every fanbase is unhappy in its own unique key. When Alabama fans are unhappy, it is because a linebacker has just missed a tackle or because someone has unleashed the horror of a passing touchdown on them. When Michigan is unhappy, it is cold, someone is edging onto your seat cushion, and someone has just done something deeply unSchembechler-ish.
The abnormal grievances, the ones indicative of a real theological schism in the church of Michigan, come from the older gentleman standing up when Michigan takes a timeout -- with one second left on the clock in the first half and Penn State leaving for the locker rooms -- and yelling:
Grievances of that severity can't hide.
He did not mention a guy at Marlin Jackson's Go Blue Bowl tailgate asking Roy Roundtree to do his Donald Duck impression, but he got everything else.
Etc.: Orson talks Ann Arbor at about the ten minute mark in the latest Shutdown Fullcast. Everything is dappled, he says. Will Leitch on how Todd Gurley may as well GTFO without taking more hits before he can get paid.
This Week's Obsession: The Fleetwoods
It's a bye week and Atomic Dog happened, so this week's question is naturally inspired by Dennis Norfleet:
I think we can all admit our collective love for Dennis Norfleet extends well beyond what he's accomplished thus far as a Michigan football player. (What he could hypothetically accomplish is a topic for another week.) Looking back onto Michigan teams of the past—hoops and hockey included—which player or players stick out in your mind as somebody you enjoyed cheering on largely for reasons outside of their ability to perform between the lines?
Additionally, please include the song you'd choose for Special K to play when a hypothetical kick returnin' you prepares to receive a kickoff.
Seth: Oh man. Well, Dakich, but I have a feeling Ace had Andrew in mind when he asked, so I leave that to the basketball beat. There must also be an entire category for one-off videos: Coner's rap, Louie Caporusso: Love Expert, 2011 hockey's savage mock rock skit, etc.
There's a bittersweet one worth discussing: Big Will. As a player, in a time when Michigan needed a hero out of their 5-star DT, we instead got Thor. Soup did little to justify his hype until Brady swapped him back to defense and set the army of DL coaches on him. That fact unfortunately overshadowed a blue chip off-the-field career.
Even before he arrived, Will gave us two commitment celebrations: one a year before the rest of his class, the second a literal hat dance...
...after trolling recruitniks by declaring Michigan out and LSU his leader two days prior.
Will was a regular at various with-the-kids charity functions the players did, and these inevitably led to endearing photos of flat-topped Soup among the Lilliputians. I never found video of it, but in the same vein, I remember after we beat Michigan State in 2012 that the scoreboard zoomed in on the students as various smurf-sized players jumped up to sit among them, and then Will started to follow and you could clearly make out some girl in the drop zone mouthing "Oh shit!"
Finally, there was the misdemeanor so hilarious we begged EDSBS to bring back the Fulmer Cup: denting the hood of a car while trying to Dukes of Hazzard. This destroyed my previous all-time favorite crime by a Wolverine: Jerald Robinson's heroic destruction of a parking gate. Campbell may not have been as productive as Martin, nor as eloquent as RVB, but in times that called for levity as much as interior line depth, Big Will was at the very least hilarious.
Seth again: Crap, I forgot music. Kool & the Gang, Jungle Boogie: "Get down, get [your pad level] down!"
Also: this.

ESPN Report: Regents To Discuss Brandon Tomorrow, AD Candidates Contacted
Jeff Long and Warde Manuel: already contacted?
ESPN is reporting that the regents will discuss Dave Brandon at their previously scheduled meeting tomorrow, as revealed to them by regent Denise Ilitch herself. This may very well be the beginning of the end (or the beginning of the end of the end) for Brandon, as Ilitch had this to say about the Shane Morris situation:
"The systems failed and there are a lot of issues we have to review," Ilitch told WWJ CBS TV in Detroit.
The money quote, however, came at the end:
Sources told ESPN's Brett McMurphy that someone on Michigan's behalf has contacted three possible candidates to replace Brandon to gauge their interest in the job.
Arkansas AD Jeff Long, UConn AD Warde Manuel, and Boston College AD Brad Bates are the obvious candidates to be those three people, with Texas Tech deputy AD Joe Parker as a possible dark horse.
Hokepoints: The Best Big Ten QB?
Nice job picking a QB, Ace. Here's your reward.
While re-watching the M-PSU punt-fest my brother made an interesting comment: "It's amazing what's happened to two of the best quarterbacks in the conference." If you ever again need to point to something to show that the offense means more than the quarterback, this Big Ten season has that in spades. What it doesn't have is an answer to the question: who IS the best QB in the conference?
I have no idea. Of guys I expected big things from, Braxton Miller (injury) and Tre Roberson (transfer) didn't make it out of the preseason, Gardner played his way behind a true sophomore who obviously couldn't play, Hackenberg's been a tackling dummy, and when I got down to Cook my Sparty slappy brother shook his head and declined the nomination.
Lower down, Sudfeld is now out for the season but he wasn't world-beating before. C.J. Brown, true to form, has been keeping pace just behind Gardner; a wrist injury against Indiana has ceded snaps to Caleb Rowe. Nebraska and Iowa aren't getting anything more than mediocre from their 2nd year guys. Trevor Siemian is not a throw deity of any sort. Etling hasn't been good enough for Boiler fans to stop mentioning that Michigan stole Bellomy(!). Wisconsin's QB situation has been awful. Illinois thought they had something when transfer Wes Lunt was picking apart bad defenses, but he broke his leg, which is apparently 4-6 weeks these days.
Everybody's played only a few real opponents, and everybody's been a product of his offense so stats are only a little useful. Last year ESPN's Dean Oliver rolled out his "QBR" metric which is based on Mathlete-like expected points on a 100-level scale; 50 is average. Mouseover the headers for clarification (explanation here):
|Pass EPA
|Connor Cook-MSU
|Gary Nova-RU
|J.T. Barrett-OSU
|Tom Armstrong-NEB
|Jake Rudock-IOWA
|Wes Lunt-ILL
|Devin Gardner-UM
|Mitch Leidner-MN
|Nate Sudfeld-IND
|C.J. Brown-MD
|Tanner McEvoy-WIS
|Trevor Siemian-NW
|C. Hackenberg-PSU
|Danny Etling-PUR
I pulled the raw QBR in each game to plot it against Football Outsiders' S&P+ so you can see the individual performances in context. Gardner's games are labeled and Michigan's remaining opponents are shown.

Hoops Preview 2014-15: Gardening Lessons
[Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog]
"What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
John Beilein tends his garden. Yet another year of turnover means another year of intense cultivation.
He once had a Shooter, which bloomed into a stunning Not Just A Shooter™. His Tantalizing Athlete blossomed into an Emphatic Finisher. The Quiet Generic Big Man, through years of care, sprouted into an Imposing Leader of Men and Taker of No Shit. Only the Magnus Catulus failed to effloresce into something entirely different; even the greatest gardener can't control the weather.
Michigan enters the 2014-15 season in a familiar position, loaded with talent but forced to reload. Gone to the NBA are Nik Stauskas, Glenn Robinson III, and Mitch McGary; Jordan Morgan's brought his salty style of basketball to Italy; Jon Horford's on-court meditation sessions will now take place in Gainesville.
The Wolverines roster isn't barren, of course. The string bean that was Caris LeVert is now a guru-approved NBA lottery prospect, and he's much less stringy, too. Derrick Walton and Zak Irvin promise growth in their second years on campus. Spike Albrecht's steady hand will once again be available off the bench. A bevy of young big men of all shapes and sizes hope to fill the void left by the trio of departing centers.
I cannot and will not forget that the Bench Mob—led by the exuberant Andrew Dakich—returns in force, which brings me to the other Emerson quote I considered placing atop this post.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
John Beilein may run a sophisticated offense that takes time and great discipline to master, but the aura around his program has always been one of a loose, joyful group. It's infectious. It's changed the feeling of going to the Crisler Center as much as the exquisite renovations. Hell, it's carrying fans through football season, even as uncertainty again looms over the basketball team.
I don't know if Ricky Doyle, Mark Donnal, Max Bielfeldt, and DJ Wilson are a suitable set of big men to make another title run in what of late has been the nation's best basketball conference. I don't know if the loss of Stauskas will leave Michigan one shot-creator short of having another elite offense. I don't know if Kam Chatman can step into GRIII's spot and replace his production. I don't know if Derrick Walton will take a Burkeian sophomore leap. I don't know if Zak Irvin is really more than Just A Shooter. I don't know if last year's regression on defense can be reversed with such a young rotation.
I'm comfortable with not knowing, however, because this isn't the first time. There's plenty I do know, as well. I know that Michigan posted the best adjusted offensive efficiency in the history of KenPom last season, when they had to replace Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr.
I know that the last time the Wolverines weren't considered a preseason top-three Big Ten team, they went 13-5 to grab a share of the conference crown. This season, with Wisconsin the heavy favorites over a jumble of teams with serious question marks, it appears Michigan will be in the same position.
I know that John Beilein is coaching this team, and that means I have no need to worry.
I know, above all, that basketball season will be fun. This isn't the highest bar to set, but as we've learned all too well from football, it's far from the lowest.
There are 27 days until Michigan opens the season with an exhibition against Wayne State. In that span, I'll be writing a lot of preview content, and much of it will focus on the questions this team must answer to live up to the standard that Beilein has created in Ann Arbor.
There's no question about this, however: it's time to start getting excited, because Beilein's green thumb will once again dig up those virtues most other coaches would never discover.
Unverified VorCLANGA CLANGA CLANGA
So this happened.
We need a Holtz/Norfleet mashup.
Penn State fans: aim before firing. See, this is a fanbase that's overreacting:
Oh sweet mother of "@blerms: no overreactions here pic.twitter.com/vLjb0rAB7S"
— Toyota Jackson (@PancakeCatapult) October 12, 2014
Year one, sanctions finally biting deeply, coach made Vanderbilt competitive. Let's stone him!
We are fulfilling our responsibilities as an internet website under provision 6 of the Norfleet Atomic Dog Act of 2560. Via Melissa Storch:
We misattributed the source of the Norfleet GIF in One Frame At A Time; this is the original.
INJURIES. Michigan has an implausible number of them. Remember when we thought Hoke was lucky? Funny thing about that. Water finds its level. Gardner was in a boot after the PSU game, but that seems like a precaution more than anything since the guy was on the field. He's got a well-timed bye to rest up before… another bye? Let's go with that.
Speaking of injuries, we have confirmation that Gardner was playing on a broken toe last year:
"Devin's leadership has been outstanding," Hoke said Saturday night. "He played a year ago with a broken toe for half the game (against Ohio State). You know he's got a toughness to him.
Everyone knew this; Michigan insisted on pretending otherwise.
Well played, headline guy? He didn't say the thing that is implied here:
Brady Hoke asked about being at Michigan in 2015, says he's not focused on that
"I'm focused on Heartstone, mostly."
Let's hire the guy who never punts! Barking Carnival has a two-part piece on Arkansas high school coach Kevin Kelley—you know, the guy who always goes for it and always onside kicks:
Kelley prepares the players for chaos. Pulaski lives in created chaos - their job is to inoculate their players to its effects and let the other team drown in it. That's what the conventional analysis of Kelley's approach doesn't understand - the Pulaski defense fully EXPECTS that they're going on the field with the opponent inside their territory several times in a game. It's how they play. Your panic is their comfort zone. It's just another day at the office. …
Their guys are mentally tougher than yours because they always play in the fringes of chaos - they're experts in weirdness. You're playing weird just one week. They're veterans of weird outcomes and know that leads with time on the clock either way mean nothing. Just keep playing.
We probably shouldn't hire the guy who never punts. But Kelley is an interesting guy who questions the basic assumptions of football in the same way Beilein did coming up what with his 1-3-1 zone and ALL OF THE SHOOTERS lineups. The burgeoning conventional wisdom that you should strive to shoot threes and layups and nothing else was the moneyball that got Beilein to the top of the ladder and there are guys out there who are doing the same in football now. We just don't know which thing is the thing.
Michigan should be looking for the most interesting plausible mind.
So here's Dan Mullen doing things. Mississippi State has a 6'5" linebacker headed for the early rounds of the NFL draft. How did that happen? Via the Caris LeVert method:
But then, to hear his coach tell it, McKinney's emergence from obscurity had nothing to with odds, gambling, or catching lightning in a bottle. To Mullen, it's all in a day's work. "I don't look at where they are today. My mind is, 'Where are they going to be three years from now?'" Mullen told me. "Here's a 6-foot-3, 210-pound high school quarterback who hasn't played a lot of linebacker. But you talk to him and you realize he has toughness. And he can run. And you get him in the weight room, and he grows an inch and a half — which you can't control — and he becomes a 250-pound athletic linebacker who can play at the next level." …
"I'll tell a kid sometimes, if he's not rated very highly [by the recruiting services], 'Hey, we have you rated higher than that,'" Mullen said. "If he's got two stars beside his name, that's even better. Because in my evaluation, he's not that player."
Mississippi State has systematically found guys who exceed expectations in the same way John Beilein has, and he's deployed them to maximum effectiveness. There hasn't been anything fluky about Mississippi State's rise, and that's why anyone with a job opening will be blowing up his agent's phone for the next couple months.
The NFL does not exist. That's the approach Michigan should be taking here. When Penn State grabbed Bill O'Brien, Brian Bennett wrote up a piece on guys who had made the NFL-to-college leap. I'm going to cut out everything and just list the names in the article:
- Bill O'Brien
- Charlie Weis
- Ron Turner
- Bill Callahan
- Tim Brewster
- Kirk Ferentz
- Al Groh
- Pat Hill
- Pete Carroll
- Mike Sherman
- Dave Wannstedt
So you've got Carroll, who is in the 99th percentile of hey dude energy, Kirk Ferentz, a guy who went back to the NFL after two years, and fail fail fail fail fail. Oh and Pat Hill, who had a good run at Fresno.
The best coaches in college football are all college guys. The NFL does not exist.
Mullen speculation will be constant. Spencer Hall thinks that there might be a bit of a rift between Mullen and Florida AD Not Dave Brandon:
WE THINK DAN WOULD BE FINE BUT DOESN'T REALLY GET ALONG WITH FOLEY REPORTEDLY DOT COM. It's a nice idea to want Dan Mullen as Florida's head coach, but there are a few problems with this. Like for instance--
--fine, fine, just get the damn checkbook and paperwork. Get it now. YOU GO RUN AND GET THAT DAMN CHECKBOOK RIGHT NOW, FOLEY.
So there's that.
LeVert, profiled. DX scouting report:
If I was a college coach I'd have the "weaknesses" music on cue to blast whenever one of my stars lived up to one.
Furman, ascendant. Remember Josh Furman bolting for Oklahoma State in the offseason? Not really, because he seemed like a meh player? Well:
How's this for help: Furman, with a fifth sack Saturday, through six games has more sacks than any Cowboy's produced in a season since 2011. He forced a fumble to go with his pick against Kansas, adding just another solid performance to his building resume that would put him on a short list of contenders for OSU Most Valuable Player at the midway point.
"Yeah, I'd hate to think where we'd be without him," Spencer said.
He is a "star" linebacker akin to the S/LB hybrids OSU rolls out on the regular; think a senior version of Stevie Brown.
Insert Balotelli WHY ALWAYS ME shirt here. Jon Chait (no polo) on football's concussion/health panic:
he same organization cited by Time found that, over a 30-year period, football is not a uniquely deadly sport for high-school athletes. It is not even the deadliest sport. High-school football has a fatality rate of 0.83 per 100,000 participants. This is actually lower than the rates of boys' basketball (0.92), lacrosse (1.00), boys' gymnastics (1.00), and water polo (1.3). There were three heartbreaking deaths of high-school football players last week, each of which attracted wide media coverage the way that tragic low-frequency events often do. But the unusual cluster of unfortunate deaths does not indicate a broader trend any more than the crash of an airliner signals an increasing danger associated with air travel.
Chait also follows up with a response to a guy who is a crusader against barbarism.
It might be more maize? Usual disclaimers about photo coloring apply but MVictors caught a reshoot of Devin Funchess on the program cover that strongly implies that Michigan has moved away from the highlighter yellow this year:
Since cover shots for the game programs of the players were shot before the season, they had to re-shoot Funchess in the #1 jersey:
Two things:
1. Notice Funchess has the 2014 helmet with the block M nosebumper.
2. Notice the striking difference in maize tone in the wings that was cited earlier this season between the 2014 and 2013 helmets.
And while we're on the topic of game programs…again—I wish they'd get creative here—do somethingbeyond just players standing there posing!
Those are likely to be in controlled conditions so I think it's for real. Small mercies.
The mood from an outsider's view. Excellent Michigan blog with bizarre color scheme Eleven Warriors had a correspondent take in the threatening-cow-rubbing affair on Saturday. The pulse:
Michigan is not broken, nor is it going anywhere at any point in the near future. Though the current caretakers aren't living up to the high standards heaped upon them, the likelihood of the program as a whole sliding toward eternal mediocrity is unlikely. With hundreds of thousands of living alumni, the tradition of "Michigan" is bigger than any one person.
I'm considering a piece about the "lack of local fan support," per Gameday, and the finger-wagging about how Michigan fans need to get behind the program. We're behind it; we're just thinking about more than the next few game.
Etc.: Get The Picture with a magnificent takedown of the NCAA over the Gurley affair. Speaking of, this guy should move to Canada.
Rick Pitino says Louisville is at a disadvantage recruiting because they're an Adidas school. SBN CEO Jim Bankoff talking media stuff is worth a read. Nerds are being adopted by hockey. Defense every snap.
Michigan's run by a guy who only sees the next spreadsheet.

I picked up a Nintendo DS (XL, baby!) when I graduated Air Force BMT. I knew that I wanted to get some gaming in during the following five months while I was at Tech School, but I didn't want to bring my PS3 and television from home because I'm a Reservist and I would be going home again after those five months of training were up. So while I missed getting to finish up Borderlands over Summer 2011, the handheld was the right direction for me (besides playing an emulated Earthbound on my laptop). My first purchases were naturally New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, and Dragon Quest VI, the frustrating highlight of the system has been Trauma Center: Under the Knife.
For those who are not in the know, Trauma Center is an absurdly over the top medical "simulation" where you play a young rookie surgeon Dr. Derek Stiles who begins to encounter some very peculiar ailments. Because of his / your skill in combating said ailments, you are recruited into Caduceus to combat what is essentially viral terrorism because you (and you alone!) can save the world from GUILT (that's the name of the designer virus that has a variety of different strains).
Trauma Center is delightfully over the top, though I am sad to report that this first game on the DS does not have the talking dog that is reported to be included in at least one of the Wii releases. Medicine is somewhat magical in this game. So much of healing comes from rubbing a green gel onto the damaged part. You will also cut into patients, laser them, pluck things out of them, suture wounds shut, but in the end – you inject a healing green gel to bring up the vitals and you'll rub the green gel to sterilize and to heal smaller wounds. Oh, and before every procedure, someone is yelling – often times your character as you prepare to charge into battle. Having had the opportunity to train in both civilian and military hospitals and observe in the operating room, I am sad to report that not once have I seen a doctor yell out "LET'S DO THIS AND SAVE THIS MAN!" Maybe that's because I've only been around experienced surgeons.
All of which leads me to two primary points.
Trauma Center: Under the Knife is a crazy amount of fun and I absolutely love this game.
Trauma Center: Under the Knife is an extremely difficult game and it pisses me the hell off.
Both statements are true. The in-game clock only updates when you save, but you only save when you successfully complete portions of chapter. Fail a procedure, and you WILL fail, and you see Dr. Stiles walking despondently down a street, apparently having quit medicine. You start over from your last save. As such, I am officially only a handful of hours into the game. In real world time, I've at least doubled the amount of time the clock says. Possibly tripled. Right now I'm at a point where I have failed so many times I need a damn long break from this wonderful frustrating game.
For the curious, I'm at the point where I have to do 5 or 6 procedures in a row in 10 minutes. I know I've made it to the third patient a couple of times, but I don't think I've hit #4. As I understand it, if I can complete the penultimate patient, I'll get a pass. But damn. Doing each one in 2:30 or less is damn hard (for me).
I want to get Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2, but I feel like I should at least have defeated this game first. I find myself being defeated. But the accomplishment in finishing an extra hard chapter – oh yeah, it's there.

WASHINGTON—Burmese democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi will be honored in Washington this week and presented Congress's highest award, the latest milestone in her remarkable journey from political prisoner to globe-trotting stateswoman.
The Nobel Peace Laureate's 17-day US tour, starting Monday, will include meetings at the State Department and most likely the White House. She then goes to New York, the American Midwest and California. The trip comes as the Obama administration considers easing its remaining sanctions on the military-dominated country officially known as Myanmar.
Since her release from house arrest in late 2010, Suu Kyi has transitioned from dissident to parliamentarian as Burma has shifted from five decades of repressive military rule, gaining international acceptance for a former pariah regime.
After being confined to her homeland since 1989 because she was either under detention or afraid she wouldn't be permitted to return, Suu Kyi has in the past four months spread her wings. She has traveled to Thailand and five nations in Europe, where she was accorded honors usually reserved for heads of state.
Revered by Republicans and Democrats alike, Suu Kyi will get star treatment too in the US, although her schedule is being carefully planned to avoid upstaging the itinerary of Burmese President Thein Sein, who arrives in the US the following week to attend the UN General Assembly's annual gathering of world leaders in New York.
"The idea that she will be at the Rotunda of the US Capitol, to receive the highest award Congress can give, just a couple of years after she was under house arrest in her own country, is just remarkable," said Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley, one of the lawmakers who sponsored her 2008 award of the Congressional Gold Medal.
For years, some of Washington's most powerful politicians have been among Suu Kyi's strongest advocates, and it's been a rare area of bipartisan consensus. Both when sanctions against the Burmese junta were imposed, and over the past year when they have been suspended, Democrats and Republicans have found common cause.
The Obama administration is now considering easing a ban on imports from Myanmar into the US, the main plank remaining in the tough economic sanctions that Washington has chipped away at this year to reward the progress toward democracy.
While Congress last month renewed sanctions for another year, President Barack Obama could waive its provisions. He may, however, look for further concrete action by Burma to earn it—such as the releases of hundreds of political prisoners who remain in detention despite the freeing of hundreds of other dissidents this year.
Suu Kyi is under political pressure from Thein Sein's government to press the US to remove the restrictions—and it is a step that she appears open to, although many of her longtime supporters in exile oppose it, saying Burma should not be rewarded at a time when ethnic violence is escalating in some parts of the country.
"We don't want to say whether the US should maintain the import ban or not," Suu Kyi's party spokesman Nyan Win said ahead of her visit. "I understand the US is keeping the import ban because they want to keep a watch on the country's political and economic reform and I think the US should continue to observe [the situation]."
Combining high-level meetings with award ceremonies and get-togethers with Burmese expatriates, Suu Kyi will have a frenetic schedule in the US.
She spends four days in Washington, where she will meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—who made a landmark visit to Burma last December—and House and Senate leaders. The White House has yet to announce whether she will meet President Barack Obama. Suu Kyi will also address human rights activists and meet Burmese journalists at Voice of America and Radio Free Asia.
She then travels to New York, where she worked from 1969-71 at the United Nations. Her schedule is carefully arranged not to clash with Thein Sein's but she is slated to attend a high-level meeting organized by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, a day before the Burmese president addresses the General Assembly.
Suu Kyi will then go to Kentucky—home state of Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell—to address the University of Louisville, before traveling to meet with one of America's largest Burmese communities in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She will also visit San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Her actions have been louder than her words with the provision of pragmatic and viable solutions to all immediate barriers along the path of democracy in Burma. She is the leader of people before the profit, honest politician in history of Burma, the mother of Burma democracy, and eye opener of Burmese military in new chapter of modem Burma.
All her actions since day one of her participation to Burma politic that include from being activist, to Burma democracy movement leader, from political prisoner to state-woman have resulted more about to the benefit of people rather than ideology differences. Her trip to America will definitely be another step move forward of Burma Democracy and unity in Burma struggle for Democracy. Burma is very lucky to have such a leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
The Burmese Freedom Fighter
Is ignorance bliss for democracy champion, Suu Kyi? All real fighters have to enter arena, but only cowards dodge challenges.. Remember that. You still have time, so use it wisely before you're punched by critics.
There she blows into the ANNALS of HISTORY and POSTERITY of BURMA as well no less.
GIving STAR TREATMENT and PINNING MEDALS and AWARDS only will HOLD NO WATER for Burma's DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM and HUMAN RIGHTS lest OBAMA forgets as well.
Than Shwe's clerk is going on a PILGRIMAGE to Beijing as SUMMONED by his Chinese masters of course.
And next he is heading US way ARMED with LETHAL WEAPONS dispensed by the Chinese communists no doubt.
This PROVED the FACT Than Shwe's clerk is PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE to the communists in Beijing until today trust me.
Of course the US led West as well is REELING at the moment as their POLICY on CHINA – making princes out of paupers – has failed miserably as well.
Hu Jin Tao has PULLED A FAST ONE on the WEST I believed.
And XI JINGPING is OUT to PULL a BETTER ONE than before lest Obama forgets.
Daw Suu could be in HOT WATERS no less when she lands in the US where ISLAMISTS of ALL HUE and COLOR are waiting to LEAN on HER no doubt. .
She HELD HER FORT (ground) WELL for that matter (Rohingya illegal immigration issue) while in Burma of course.
And PLAYING the GAME the SAME WAY and in the SAME MANNER would SERVE HER for the BETTER this time as well no doubt.
Just let Thein Sein take the rap as he is Than Shwe's chosen president of Burma and by hell he has to measure up for that matter to be fair and just as well.
However, it could be a DIFFERENT STORY when China uses its WA (UWSA) CARD in the very near future for certain as well lest she forgets.
And when that happens Daw Suu needs Obama and his colleagues in the West to MUSTER ALL at their DISPOSAL and STAND TALL for her and her people like the communists in Beijing and Russia under the former KGB officer did for ASSAD killing his own people by the tens of thousands today while the US led West is CLUELESS and HELPLESS for that matter not to mention Iran's Ahmadinejad toying with nuclear weapons research, a death knell and a present and real danger for mankind today.
Welcome to America, Daw Suu. We the children of the Union of Burma are so proud of you. I hope Americans will understand about the Union of Burma and her citizens more than before though your visit. You are not only the VIP to the American government and the UN, but also to all of us.

Note: This was originally published in 2012 as an update to our popular Caramel Apple Dip recipe from 2009 (and the fun family tradition of fall apple-tasting that went along with it). It's the perfect time to revisit this classic, easy recipe – and pin the newly combined longer image to remember it for your next family tradition!
One of the most popular fall recipes here at An Oregon Cottage is Homemade Caramel Apple Dip – and it always sees a lot of traffic during the fall and winter months. So even though we are smack in the middle of 31 Days of Thrift Store Transformations, I'm posting an update to my original caramel dip recipe that uses less sugar for all those who, like me, are attempting to cut down on sugar in our diets.
Attempting to mess with one of our family's favorite once-or-twice-a-year-recipes (and a memory-maker, since we still love to hold our annual apple tasting each fall) came with a couple of rules, though:
- Since it is a special treat, it had to taste just as good with less sugar
- If it didn't, we weren't going to suffer through yuckiness just to have less sugar – 'cause, sheesh, it's only a once-a-year thing.
So I cut the sugar and honey in half and served it to my family. And guess what?
No one noticed a difference. I had to tell them and they still couldn't tell (though I thought the dip wasn't quite as creamy, which didn't bother me).
You know what I'm learning more and more through these experiments to lessen the sugar in some of our favorite recipes? It's easy, and most of the time we can't. tell. a. difference.
Here's the updated, lower sugar Caramel Dip for Apples recipe (go here to see the original recipe and how our family does our annual apple tasting):
- ⅓ c. butter
- ½ c. brown sugar (or sucanat)
- ¼ c. honey
- 1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk
- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add the remaining ingredients, raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly (will take 5-10 minutes).
- Lower heat to medium or med-low (you want to keep a very low boil) and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly (really- this is not the thing to walk away from! It will burn…I know from experience!).**
- Remove from heat, let cool a bit and then pour into a serving bowl and serve warm.
- Refrigerate any leftovers. Microwave a few seconds to soften before using again.
- **If it does burn, don't despair: remove the pan from the burner and quickly pour the dip into a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl, but DO NOT scrape the bottom. Just leave all that crusty burnt stuff. Push dip through strainer, leaving any browned bits in strainer. There may be a few small brown flecks in the dip, but we really can't tell when we're eating it. It's just another one of our imperfect things!
Have you made this dip? Let me know if you try it with less sugar!

I have a Satellite L505-S6946. Last night, my dog tripped over the wire to my headphones and rather abruptly yanked them out of my computer. I noticed the male end was substantially bent. Since then, I have had no audio on my computer, via internal speakers or headphones. The jack itself looks somewhat pushed back into my computer and when a set of functional, undamaged headphones were plugged in, they went in a bit crooked and wiggled around in the jack, Is there a way to try to bypass or disable the headphone jack and rely just on the internal speakers? Or is my computer worthless for anything other than word processing and viewing basic sites like message boards?

This review is from: Dell Optiplex 755 Small Form Factor Desktop PC Intel Core 2 Duo 2.3Ghz 2GB RAM 80 HDD Windows 7 Pro with 19" Monitor
Pros: Grate price, good performance for the home office work that my in-law will use it for. It is a grate upgrade from the Celeron 1.1 GHz he had. I got it on the Black Friday Weekend Sale for $269.
Cons: I received the package with no mouse. It had the mini tower, Monitor, and Keyboard, but no mouse. Big set back in my opinion. It was a refurbished product, but I expect all the components to be in there nonetheless.
Other Thoughts: I wish the all the components where in the box from the begining. Now I have to deal with customer service to get the mouse. Do not get me wrong, I do not mind making a call, or sending an email, but I did not had to do it.READ FULL REVIEW

It works!
Posted by Reviewer1988331 on Mar 14, 2011
I recently had a hip replacement and, prior to surgery, had used massive amounts of ibuprofen to help with the pain. Since my surgery, I decided to try homeopathic remedies for muscle soreness from rehab and working out rather than going back to ibuprofen. Arnica really seems to work. It's easy to take and disolves immediately. No large pills to swollow.

Small blaze shuts down Main StreetFebruary 03,2013
Montpelier blaze
closes Main Street
MONTPELIER Lots of smoke and a little bit of fire shut down a portion of Main Street on Saturday evening as firefighters prevented a small blaze from spreading through a century-old home.
The incident began shortly after 5 p.m. when a passerby alerted homeowner Stan Brinkerhoff that thick smoke was billowing from the first floor of his three-story home at 188 Main St.
Brinkerhoff called Montpelier firefighters, who quickly extinguished a small fire in a first-floor storage area.
A singed mattress and a charred pile of clothing in the front yard were the only visible signs of damage from outside, though Brinkerhoff and two tenants living in an attached apartment made plans to stay elsewhere for the night due to a lingering smell of smoke.
Brinkerhoff said the home is insured.
Lt. Jake Larrabee of the Montpelier Fire Department said the fire was small but hot, and produced heavy smoke. He said the cause is undetermined, and Vermont State Police investigators will examine the scene this morning to try to determine what happened.
A fire crew from Barre City joined Montpelier firefighters at the scene.
Main Street was blocked off between North and Loomis streets for about two hours.

Samuel J. Kimura, of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of California School of Medicine, presents a review of the literature on the uveal tract, covering the period from August, 1958, to September, 1959 (Arch Ophthal63:571 [Mar.] 1960).
The behavior of mast cells in the uveal tract was investigated in experimental studies by Larsen. The normal uvea in his experiments showed mast cells in varying amounts in the same species of animals. The highest number was found in the choroid; the ciliary body showed less, and the iris still less. In guinea pigs treated with large doses of cortisone, the mast cells showed degranulation and vacuolization of the cytoplasm and clumping of granules. Similar changes were observed in guinea pigs made vitamin-C deficient. This knowledge of the behavior of the mast cell may lead to better understanding of inflammatory and allergic diseases of the uveal tract.
