I'm curious how tall other children were at about 4 1/2. People are constantly telling me how tall my son is and how they're shocked he's only 4 because they thought he was 7, then they will go on to tell me how huge he is. I think his face just looks mature or something because according to the doctor's charts he's pretty average. So I thought I would compare and see if he really is average. He's 4 1/2 today actually, and 42 inches tall. He weighs 36 lbs.Answer Question

text: My idea for SR3 is to make it a survival horror game kind of like Resident Evil. You could have Hyldens and devovled vampires jumping through windows and scaring the crap out of you and stuff like that. The object of the game would be to try and get out of the hylden's trap that was mentioned at the very end of SR2. The game would start in Nosgoth, after Kain and Raziel go forward in time. The hylden have taken over Nosgoth and they are now using the devovled vampires as slaves to destroy the vampires that didn't devovle. You are teamed up with Kain and you get to switch between the two characters like in Resident Evil 0. The first chapter of the game will take place in the canyons where the hylden are holding the Seer captive. You go through the canyons killing demons, hyldens, and devolved vapires until you reach the Seer's shack. When you save the Seer she gives Kain and Raziel the ability to summon demons like her. In chapter 2 of the game you will have to go to Vorador's mansion and stop Turel and his grotesque fledglings from helping the Sarafan torture a bunch of winged ancients that the Sarafan found hiding in Janos's aerie. In the mansion you will have to kill a bunch of enemies and solve a few puzzles and then you will get to defeat Malek, the boss of the level. After you defeat Malek you will discover a hidden tunnel in the mansion that leads to the underground water forge, which lets you imbue the reaver in water. Now that you have the water reaver it will be much easier to defeat vampires. For the rest og the game you will have to find reaver forges defeat enemies and solve puzzles. The game should have 50 hours of game play and it should give a lot of answers to a lot of LoK questions. It will also be one of the best survival horror games ever made.

You have to fight
And scars

What does that say?

Don't fret

A serious clown
Instead arise
From ashes, wise
And chalk it up
An exercise
In flying high

Madness is the inability to communicate your ideas, some people pursue it with silence and others like a 3 y/o . It's as if you were in a foreign country,able to see and understand every thing that's going around you, but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped,because you don't understand the language they speak there.
Some people assert madness by trimming their hair, throwing chairs around , dancing and singing on top of their voices, talking to themselves. But sometimes madness is what saves us from depression.
People forget to laugh and at times cry too loudly , because they are taught from the beginning to keep their madness and emotions under control, but numbing things for a while would only make it worse.
So, just take care of yourself, drink water, doodle random things, cry loudly , laugh hysterically, listen to music and make your heart sing, watch cartoons, laugh at stupid puns , catch butterflies , because we need to let people think that madness exists and we got no space for anxiety.
And always remember – No silence ever made it out alive.

Md. May Get Higher Gas Or Sales Tax
Increase Would Boost Transportation Fund
By Alice Reid
In this election year, Gov. Parris N. Glendening and most other candidates for state office are sidestepping the issue of raising taxes. But transportation planners and others concede that without an infusion of cash, the state's Transportation Trust Fund cannot adequately meet all the demands being placed on it.
"I think the electorate has known this for some time," said House Speaker Casper R. Taylor Jr. (D-Allegany), who will convene a panel this summer to study how best to raise money for the fund. "You cannot get blood out of a turnip. These are fundamental things that everybody in the electorate understands. When you run out of money, you quit building."
Maryland's situation points up the challenge many states face in maintaining existing roadways while keeping up with the demand for new highways spawned by sprawling development and dispersal of jobs away from urban areas.
Maryland also is in a somewhat unusual position as a state that uses its Transportation Trust Fund to finance not only highway construction but also operation of two mass transit systems -- in Washington and in Baltimore, where subsidies have been rising by 12 percent and 6 percent annually on average during this decade. In addition, the fund -- which takes in and spends about $2 billion annually -- supports the growing Baltimore/Washington International Airport and Baltimore's busy harbor operations.
Maryland is one of 20 states that finance all transportation needs -- from highways to transit to aviation -- out of the same pot of money. And the 23.5-cent-a-gallon gas tax, which is the fund's main revenue source along with federal funds, has not risen in six years. Typically the tax has been raised every four or five years.
Transportation could become an issue in next fall's governor's election as Glendening's opponents complain that the governor has allowed the fund to languish and has not given top priority to expanding the state's highway network.
"More and more people are sitting in traffic," said Eileen M. Rehrmann, the Democratic Harford county executive who is challenging Glendening. "And in the campaign, people want to know where you are on transportation."
Glendening, who ran four years ago on a no-new-taxes platform, is unapologetic about the trust fund, which he says has increased by more than $1 billion during his administration.
"The challenge to the state was rather than increasing the gas tax, to see if we could realize some other economies," he said last week. The fund has increased, he said, "without increasing taxes."
Some of the increase is attributable to cuts in the transportation bureaucracy but also to a booming economy that has generated more revenue without a tax increase, officials say. Glendening also has shifted some money from the port and BWI to highways. "They continue to find new ways to do things," said Bob Latham, head of the Maryland Highway Contractors Association.
Glendening also stands up to criticism that he has spent too much of the state's highway money on non-asphalt items such as sidewalks, sound walls along busy highways and other "quality of life" improvements. Estimates are that in the $2.8 billion highway capital plan for the next five years, $250 million is for sound walls, sidewalks, landscaping and other neighborhood enhancements -- or less than 9 percent of the total -- according to State Highway Administrator Parker F. Williams.
"Our commitment before we build new infrastructure that promotes sprawl elsewhere is let's invest in the communities that made this county great," said Glendening, as he announced a $275,000 sidewalk and crosswalk project near the Landover Metro station in Prince George's County last week. "People would rather have curbs, gutters, sidewalks and landscaping instead of a $70 million road built somewhere."
But those who maintain that transportation funds are scarce say that sound barriers, sidewalks and bus shelters are not the best way to spend limited money.
"The governor has got to answer whether the transportation system is better than when he was elected," Glendening's principal Republican challenger Ellen R. Sauerbrey said, adding that she would reorder the state's priorities to spend more money on highways and less on other transportation items.
She, like many others in Maryland from both parties, would like to move transit subsidies out of the Transportation Trust Fund and into the general fund.
"Drivers should not have to fund the rail and bus systems when we need such vital projects involving roads and bridges," she said.
Some analysts point out that gasoline taxes can't keep track of demand anyway because as cars become more fuel-efficient, they can travel farther without paying more in taxes per mile.
Taylor has introduced the notion of moving transit subsidies out of the transportation fund. Legislators interested in that idea talk about using a special sales tax, which might be imposed in urban areas with transit systems, to fund transit. But raising taxes of any sort -- on either sales or gasoline -- has not been a popular notion in most states during the 1990s.
Such reluctance to tax for transportation can stymie the state, according to Tom Corsi, a University of Maryland business professor who worked on the Greater Washington Board of Trade's transportation study.
"We've got a wealthy region. Our mean household income is the second-highest in the nation, and we're not really taxing ourselves," Corsi said. "We're not really looking to the future and doing what we need to sustain our growth."
"I think it would be a hard sell," said Brad Coker, who runs the Columbia-based Mason Dixon Poll. Raising taxes to support transportation "may be one of the more important things in the big picture, but in terms of political popularity, there are bigger causes, where people might say, 'If we're gonna raise the sales tax a penny, let's do it for schools or for the Chesapeake Bay.' "
Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Prince George's) predicts that earmarking a sales tax for transit will be "a major battle in '99" in the State House.
Miller, who supported Glendening in not urging a gas tax increase during his term, now says something has to give.
"I think more revenue will be essential," he said.
A host of highway projects are foreseen in the state's $5 billion, five-year transportation plan released last month, but making them a reality will require millions of additional dollars in the Transportation Trust Fund.
The needs are especially great in Southern Maryland, where the population is projected to grow by more than 40 percent to 450,000 by 2020.
"All of our priorities are in motion," said Gary V. Hodge, director of the Tri-County Council in Southern Maryland. "But a number of our projects would not be completed if we don't get an increase in the fund next year."

Watch: In 1987 Margaret Thatcher reviewed records on a BBC kids TV show
In 1987, Maggie Thatcher was well into her second term as British Prime Minister. With an election looming – which she won – Thatcher thought it a good idea to appear on the BBC's Saturday morning show Saturday Superstore.
Dressed in uniform 'hearing-aide beige', Maggie would seduce the mums and dads to her cause and turn the kids on to politics. She tooks calls. One caller, an Alison Standfast, asked her, "Where will you be if nuclear war breaks out? " Maggie said she'd be in London, possibly stood amidst the ruins in a blackened concrete hellscape. It'd be awful but at least she could finally empathise with the miners.

Today I had the pleasure of working with Central Peel Secondary students talking about the idea of #DigitalLeadership. Although I am always honoured to speak to students, today has been a little rough since it is exactly one year since my dad passed away.
As I was speaking about the positive impact that students can make and sharing about how so many people from around the world consoled me during a difficult time, I started to tear up in front of the students. During a video shared in my presentation, I saw a tweet from a student:
@gcouros thank you so much for coming to talk with is today on such a hard day for you. Much love #centralpeel
— Kourageous Kaitlin⚓ (@kati97_) March 26, 2014
I responded and thanked her and the school for having me, and as the video ended, I pointed out the small act of kindness that made me feel very welcome at a point that I was very vulnerable. As I asked where "Kaitlin" was, she put up her hand and said, "Can I give you a hug?", which, of course, I accepted. As she gave me a hug in front of the whole auditorium, the students applauded loudly for her act of kindness which, in my mind, was definitely deserved.
It brought me to tears and it reminded me how inspiring our students are and how they always seem to go WAY above our expectations whenever we give them the chance.
Looking to favourite the tweets shared by Kaitlin, I noticed one of her tweets before the assembly began:
Time to be told what not to do on the internet in the assembly… Pft we know these things already
— Kourageous Kaitlin⚓ (@kati97_) March 26, 2014
Can you blame her?
So much time is spent with students telling them what they "can't" do as opposed to showing them the endless possibilities there is to make a difference in this world.
If we really believe that our students are "the future", we need to help keep them safe, but we should also focus on the fact that they have the world at their fingertips and they can do something powerful. I know that one student with a simple tweet and act of kindness made a difference for me on a very tough day that and it will probably stick with me for the rest of my life. Hopefully we can focus on empowering our kids, as opposed to telling them only what they "can't" do.

We have always home schooled. I do not know what it is like for my kids to be gone from me on a regular basis. It is kind of like a safety net for me. I'm very comfortable with this way of life, yet I feel myself moving into a new stage of life.
This afternoon I was taking my oldest daughter to meet one of her friends for dinner. My daughter is a few weeks away from turning 17. While she was chattering away about something that she saw on TV, my mind began to wander and I realized that a year ago, I never would have let her go have dinner with a friend with out me there. Obviously I was not listening to her (my bad!), but rather I was thinking about how my daughter's life is changing and how it is affecting me…her ever so protective mom, who wants her children by her always.
My boundaries for her are growing outward. This is happening because I see in her a maturity and sense of responsibility that deserves new privileges.
I think part of me never thought I would actually make it to this day when my daughter was more of a friend than a child. Don't get me wrong, I still have to get in her face everynow & then to help her deal with wrong attitudes or actions, but those times are getting less & less.
Next year is supposed to be her last year of High School. It doesn't matter that I have 9 more kids after her that will also have a last year, but this one will always mean more I think because it means a passing into a new season for me. I have completed raising a child. She will be an adult. This huge for me.
So, I'm learning to let go of my need to have her here all the time. I'm learning to walk along side her and listen to her. Most of the time, she doesn't need me telling her what to do…she already knows, she just wants to tell me and I cherish that!

- I made these rolls two days ago out of "available ingredients". They
were surprisingly good. I made them in the Rival crock.ette.
Take VERY FINELY SLICED CHICKEN BREAST (3-4 slices per person) and
season them with PEPPER and SEASONED SALT, both sides.
Brush them with a mixture or MUSTARD, BROWN SUGAR and BLACKBERRY
MARMELADE OR JAM (perhaps barbecue sauce can be used instead of all this).
Cut thin HAM SLICES to fit breast slices and place them over breasts.
Put a small piece of canned PINEAPPLE over ham.
Roll each piece tightly. Secure with string or sticks or,
alternatively, make sure base of crockpot is full of rolls (this way
they will support one another and won't disassemble).
If you want, put some oiled BABY POTATOES in oven bag and place it
over the rolls (I figure you could place bag on bottom and potatoes on
top too).
I cooked it on low for 6 hours. Delicious, and the rolls keep their
shape. Slightly cooled, you can slice them and serve over rice or
beside a salad, adding HEATED BARBECUE SAUCE if you wish. They would
be good over mashed potatoes too. And perhaps dates could be a good
substitute for pineapple?

Curators: SUSANNE HUSSE, JANA SOTZKO
Artists: MARCO MONTIEL-SOTO, JULIA PREZEWOWSKY, EDITION TAUBE
LOOKS FAMILIAR is dedicated to the idea of family – as the smallest of social cells, as a political issue, as a culture bearer, as history, as home. LOOKS FAMILIAR is an exhibition, an art project and a book dealing with actions that are both political and moving playfully, questingly towards the city and society.
For four weeks, new works by Julia Prezewowsky, Marco Montiel-Soto and Edition Taube will be exhibited at SAVVY CONTEMPORARY. Approaching the subject and the location, the artists dealt with questions such as: What do family ties tell us about social networks, elective affinities or individualism in societies? How do justice and injustice, power relations and ways to dream and to fail present themselves within constellations of (surrogate) families? With its project FAMILIENBESUCH, LOOKS FAMILIAR actively involves local residents and visitors. Parallel to the exhibition, photographer Sibylle Hoessler, illustrator Bo Soremsky and author Karim Ben Abdelkader will visit families in Neukölln. The documents and portraits these visits result in will be added to the ongoing exhibit.Additionally, LOOKS FAMILIAR will be documented and accompanied my means of a publication.
The artistic encyclopedia is a cooperation with art book publishing house Edition Taube. Un-curated by Susanne Husse and Jana Sotzko More Information also here, Video, Fotos: http://looks-familiar.tumblr.com/

Listening to the Maronite Patriarch Mar Nasrallah Butros Sfeir giving the noon Christmas mass today in Beirut, confirmed what I was thinking of yesterday. At some point in the unfolding of the celebration, Sfeir tells the story of the birth of Jesus and so mentions his birth in Bethlehem. "In the city of Bethlehem, in Palestine, where he was born". He seems unperturbed, and swiftly moves to another subject. Worse, as he shifts his discussion to abstract concepts of love and tolerance (as noted, a classical rhetorical strategy amongst modern privatized Christianity), he manages to extract from it an even shakier concept of 'love for the nation'. He then manages to mumble something like the birth of Jesus which symbolizes this message of love actually teaches us about how one should 'love his nation'. Fortunately, he does not elaborate further. Bethlehem is a couple of kilometers away from where he is giving his mass. It is under the control of a political entity (Israel) that causes much injustice and oppression, and has probably no respect for Sfeir's tradition (i.e. Christianity). To add insult to injury, a significant number of people from Bethlehem and from around it live within the nation that Sfeir wants people to love, although these people are neither loved by those people Sfeir is concerned with nor given any form of 'love' or 'tolerance'. Well maybe if Jesus was the messenger of 'justice' it would have been better. Love as such stripped out of social realities is a monster-like fantasy causing more wreckage than healing.

Caloric restriction extends lifespan in numerous species. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae this effect requires Sir2 (ref. 1), a member of the sirtuin family of NAD+-dependent deacetylases2, 3. Sirtuin activating compounds (STACs) can promote the survival of human cells and extend the replicative lifespan of yeast4. Here we show that resveratrol and other STACs activate sirtuins from Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, and extend the lifespan of these animals without reducing fecundity. Lifespan extension is dependent on functional Sir2, and is not observed when nutrients are restricted. Together these data indicate that STACs slow metazoan ageing by mechanisms that may be related to caloric restriction.

Hello all,
Is there any software that is specific to benchmarking web servers that I could use to get a baseline of a new IIS server I am about to put into production? I was thinking if I could gather some data on things like how long typical page loads are, response times, etc. so if in the future I get complaints about it being "slow" I would have something to look back on.

There used to be a stress tool from MS, but I am sure they have built something else by now.

You should be ashamed of yourself for just clicking on that title 😉
It really isn't as exciting as it sounds, unless you like playing with dirt…
and if that is the case, than this is uber exciting.
Some of you may recall my PMS induced post written over Memorial Day Weekend?
Well, for reasons listed in the sentence above, husband and I had to find a different way to have some "fun" over the holiday weekend.
{Have I mentioned yet that my husband is probably yelling at me or rolling his eyes in a major way at everything I have typed so far? Wimp}.
So what did we decide to do?
Build a firepit, that's what.
Guess you can say all that HGTV we watch is finally paying off.
So, we made our way to Menards and after much excitement, came home with this:
{No not just a car full of smiles…} What I more so meant was this:
Which led to me having to do a whole lot of this:
{Yes, that is a true face I made not just for the camera and I meant every bit of it}
Thankfully my arm muscles grew triple in size that night.
My hands on the other hand did not appreciate what I put them through.
While I did the above, my blue eyed bandit was in the garage lookin' fine as ever assembling the little ole' ring that goes in the middle of the pit.
And I'm drooling…
After the blood, sweat, and tears {Okay maybe just sweat}, my manly man got to town and performed the following:
I of course offered much moral support while snapping pictures.
Finally, all of the hard work led to wa-la:
Our brand spankin' new relaxing ring of fire.
…and some serious Johnny Cash tunes.
All in all, it was a fun activity and I love knowing that we did it together 🙂
No, but seriously the real point of this post is to let you know that if you would like one in your backyard we will kindly do it for you.
$300 an hour plus drinks are expected {skinny girl margaritas please?}
We'll only charge $200 😉
I'm kidding kiddos..calm down.
I really have no desire to bust my booty in your yard..unless of course the margaritas will be present, in which case I may consider.
I really have no desire to bust my booty in your yard..unless of course the margaritas will be present, in which case I may consider.
Real point of the post:
Go do something fun {and dirty} with your lover.
You may surprise yourself what the two of you are capable of when you combine forces.
Happy digging 🙂
Today I am linking up to:
Check it out for other ladies who love their hubbies 🙂

The game is at 1:40. It's on TBS. On the bright side, it isn't a noon tip. The downside (for me) is picking up the kids from school roughly as the second half is getting underway.
Will Pitt be able to avoid yet another slow start to their game? They are definitely aware of it. I'm not sure that it makes a difference or not — the being aware of it part. The fact is, this Pitt team has started most of their games — win or lose — sluggishly. Fitfully. At this point in the year, it is hard not to shrug and acknowledge that this team doesn't get off to good starts.
Dante Taylor got six stitches above his right eye from the Syracuse game last week. The eye is still a bit swollen, but he's not missing the game.
As I noted before, the teams aren't that different in style and emphasis.
"Except they're maybe a little bit bigger," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. "They appear to be an inch or two bigger per man across the front line. Maybe our guys have grown an inch or two, but if it's a mirror image I hope we stack up physically with them."
I have to believe Lamar Patterson did not say this with a straight face.
"It should be an (up-tempo) pace, probably, because everyone has fresh legs to throw in there. So this should be a fun game."
Of course Coach Jamie Dixon is bothered by the losses in the NCAA Tournament.
Know that smile Jamie Dixon will flash when he thinks a referee has butchered a call?
The one where his arms are folded, the head tilted a bit, the foot tapping, the skin seemingly going green as it's about to burst through the suit seams … and yet his face somehow conveys sheer, unfettered joy, his every tooth showing and cheeks stretched like Christmas morning?
Well, as a public service to Pitt basketball fans, I'm here to break it to you (MEGA-SPOILER WARNING): It isn't remotely real.
Yeah, you're welcome.
But you know how I became sure?
As part of a good talk Dixon and I had shortly before the Panthers embarked for Utah, the coach flashed almost exactly that same smile upon my broaching the topic of his personal history in the NCAA Tournament.
No surprise. Dixon is not addressing the USC wants to hire him rumors.
"I guess it's the time of year," he said. "We don't talk about other jobs. I don't think it's the right thing to do. We're used to it, I guess. And it happens to everybody, I think, this time of the year. It's speculation, I guess, so I don't give it much thought."
Hopefully there will be more games to play to avoid any talk about the issue for a couple weeks.
I don't know how in the world to ever prove that to you, other than, I didn't post much on here this week, and I haven't posted that much on this thread.
I didn't want to get bombed by saying this wasn't a great team.
At least compared to our 03-09 teams.
I watched a lot of those teams, and KNEW they were going to win.
I've watched this years team and found myself HOPING that they would win.
Somethings different the past couple years. Talent?? Missing Rohrsen and the other fella (can't think of his name), but, missing some good a.c. recruiters??
I don't claim to have the answer, hopefully we can get it back.
Watch, I'll get bombed for giving my opinion. I'm a hater, not a real Pitt fan, etc. etc.
Sorry, that's what I saw this year.
I'm just comparing the past couple teams in my mind, to the teams in the 2000's.
I'm not even talking about March. The teams in general.
So, I'm actually not ripping on Dixon. I think he had some fantastic teams, great teams that were fun to watch.
I just see a difference the past two years.
Too me, in my opinion.
I am confident HCJD will learn and adapt. I am confident Pitt will be successful in the ACC. I am confident that Pitt will, sooner rather than later, make the final 4. I am confident that Pitt will, within the term of HCJD's contract, compete for a national championship.
However, if I'm wrong, count on seeing me here admitting same.
94, I was giving credit for posting the picture.
Besides, isn't that the way to select a coach?
Had this strange dream, that Pitt was still alive and headed to the Sweet 16 in Los Angeles having just knocked off #1 seed Gonzaga.
And that Jaime got a 10 year contract extension.
Must have been that Chianti we were drinking last nite at Villa Antonio's.
Going back to bed, my back is killing me !
This offseason should tell us something about if Dixon is committed to change. Will he hire smeone who can upgrade the recruiting efforts? What does he do about the lack off frontcourt depth?
How much of the above is Jamie's fault for their not developing? Some. How much of it is his fault for misusing their playing time? All!! Does he really get the most out of players? Regular season yes, post-season NO WAY.
Should he have gotten an extension to 10 years? I don't think so, but did we have any chance to replace him with someone better? Who? My only confident choice would be Brad Stevens.
We'll see how the next 2 or 3 years go with the transition to the ACC. This will prove his worth, or not. If not, then 10 years wasn't smart.
Did you see Peyton Siva yesterday?
If I were JR or Patterson, I would spend my time with Adams and Zanna doing the pick and role all day. I would be able to do it in my sleep, dunks and layups are much more dependable than 3's. Live by the three die by the three.
It's going to take more than Adams alone next year. Let's hope the seniors show some dedication to upping their games.
No wonder your back hurts, you carried around the Pitt BB team on it for for over a week while they struggled through the BE and NCAA tournaments. LOL.
Go Wichita State! On to the Final Four! If you can't beat them, join them, I say!
You met my son….yesterday after basketball practice; you know, the one in which he learned that passing at the 10 year old level is a mortal sin and unless he can dribble and rebound, he will never see the ball, we went to the gym.
At the gym, it is reqally tempting to launch 3's, try crazy stuff, etc….
Well, there is a young girl who shows up in the early afternoon; she is dressed in baketball jersey, ponytail. etc…
We have seen her before. She is a couple years older than my boy. So I ask her if she will work with my son on some dribbling, etc…she said yes.
So I scram, leaving my son no choice but to swallow his pride (a girl!!) and bring his game, not his name.
Your suggestion that JJ, Cam and Johnson live their lives to the tune of "basketball jones" is dead spot on. But it takes committment and checking your ego at the door. anyone can work on things they do well.
that was the point with my son. I left the two to their own devices and left. 20 minutes later the two were friends and my son got some technique under his belt.
Maybe JJ, Cam and Johnson can head down to the Palumbo center and work with Suzy M.
mediocre all season in a weak conference…how could we be so mediocre and lose in the tournament?…fire the coach!
Glad to see JD is staying…10 year extension…so what?…he can probably still leave at any time but it does show Pitt's commitment to the program and to what he has done for the schooL…I agree with Chris dokish in that he is the best coach we could get and have going into the ACC next year and is great news for the program…
I have always thought that winning your conference and conference tournament should be the primary goals of any college program because they are realistically attainable goals…something that JD has done with some regularity in his tenure at Pitt, actually the best of any Pitt coach ever and the one of the best in the BE over the last 10 years…
while the NCAA tournament on the other hand is a crap shoot…that is why so few teams have ever won it all (only 19 in the last 35 years and only 35 since the tournament began)…so to soley judge whether a coach is successful or not by how they do in the tournament is shortsighed and ludicrous IMHO…
I think that this year's team overachieved…and has been mentioned, who on this blog had them winning more than 1 game at best in the tourney?
The prevailing thought among many here is that Pitt will bomb in the ACC becuase they will not adapt to the ACC style of play, more finese than physical…i for one think that within the next 3 to 4 years, the style of play in the ACC is going to become more physical…with Pitt, Syracuse, Louisville and ND the Big East style of play is going have a major influence on the league…just look at Miami; they play a physical style much more akin to the BE than the ACC…
I do agree that changes have to be made…I do not think that the current batch of assistants have served Pitt well over the last couple of years…they miss a strong recruiter like Roherson…I also think that he needs to recruit more shooters…and open up the offense more…
So lets wait to see what happens…I like so few on here look forward to next season and see only better things ahead for Pitt Basketball in the ACC…
Comment by marcus of schaumburg
Barkley can be an idiot, but he is funny. That could be said of me, except for the funny part.
Seems like he lives as if he came from nothing, enjoys life, and will leave with nothing and no regrets.
that is not a easy thing after last year and being one and done this year they wont be standing in line to come to pitt.
i hope he gets one or two my self but it is not like you go to k mart and pick them off a shelf.
75 percent of the kids have all ready signed
for this year and for the rest we are not on top of the list.
Sandusky state won the NCAA wrestling title for the 3rd straight year.
EWL stopped being relevant a decade ago.
Only a Pitt hater wants Cyanide Steve to conduct a coaching search.
The only reason I am happy for the extension is that it doesn't force Cyanide out of the office.
Yep he sure did disappear. Maybe someone should call the Penn Monroe.
This POD system is a utter joke.
If the NCAA is going to let them play virtually "home games" the penalty should be they have to play in the same region.
Same thing with Mich & Mich State playing at home at Auburn Hills. And L-Ville playing in KY.
