Does This JCPenney Tea Kettle Look Like Hitler to You? [Updated]
Oh, JCPenney. The Plano-based department store chain just cannot seem to stop stepping in it, in the weirdest ways possible. Last year, there was Gay Dad-Gate, in which the company pissed off homophobes everywhere by featuring a photo of two gay fathers in its catalog, just after it had the temerity to name Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson.
All that took a backseat, though, to the company's financial woes under the reign of CEO Ron Johnson, who finally stepped down in April after managing to drop the company's stock price by more than 50 percent.
We hadn't heard much from JCPenney for the last couple months, as new CEO Mike Ullman (who was also the old CEO, before Johnson) tries frantically to un-sink the ship over there. But now the company's back in the news for the Michael Graves-designed tea kettle you see above, which, in addition to being stainless steel, sort of looks like Hitler, doesn't it?

As Gawker noted this morning, the Hitler kettle was first spotted by Reddit users (of course), who saw the image on a billboard in Culver City, California.
"I'm a little Nazi, short and stout," notes one Redditor. "The pot is calling the kettle a fascist," adds another. "Mein Cuppa," MSN headlines their story, less cleverly.
JCPenney hasn't responded to requests for comment on the Hitler Kettle from multiple media outlets. We're pretty certain they won't respond to ours either, but we'll update if they do.
Update 1:21 p.m.: JCPenney assures us via Twitter that the tea pot's resemblance to any mustachioed dictators is "certainly unintended." A look at their timeline shows that they're busy reassuring everybody else of the same thing.
@dallas_observer Certainly unintended. If we'd designed the kettle to look like something, we would've gone w/this: twitter.com/jcpenney/statu...

When BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe has held his annual or semi-annual roundtable discussions with reporters in past years, conference realignment and BYU's place in the ever-shifting college sports landscape was a major portion of the Q&A session. Not so this year. Only one question regarding conference realignment was asked of Holmoe, as BYU's position as a football independent and a member of the West Coast Conference in most other sports seems quite stable right now, and for the foreseeable future. However, while acknowledging that conference realignment "has quieted down," Holmoe said he doesn't believe it is over. He believes conferences such as the Big 12 that don't have football championship games because they don't have enough members to stage one will eventually be forced to go that route by other conferences. "I am pretty sure that in the next years, whatever it is, just because of the way some of the conferences stand right now, and knowing that you are going into this college football playoff, they are going to have some equality in the way things go. I mean, everybody is going to have to have a championship game. And people are going to have to feel like they have an equal chance to get in and be ranked, and schedule. So I think in the next little while things will change. It will be interesting to see how it goes," Holmoe said. "But I am not going to speculate on some of the governance and whether or not there are going to be five big [conferences] that pull away in football or other sports. Those things will dictate how quickly or how long it takes for conference realignment to maybe kick in. And it would seem to me that if it went that way, that that would probably be the final time." East Carolina announced on its website today that it will play football at BYU in 2015. That's a surprise, because when they agreed to a two-game series back in January of 2012, the schools said they would play in 2017 (at ECU) and in 2018 (in Provo). No date for the 2015 game in Provo was listed in the release, but it will presumably be in October, which is when the Cougars have openings. Here's how the 2015 BYU football schedule looks now. (I put ECU in at Sept. 19, which is just a guess at this point). BYU's 2015 Football Schedule
Sept. 5 at Nebraska Sept. 12 Boise State Sept. 19 East Carolina (see above) Sept. 26 at Michigan Oct. 2 ??? Oct. 10 ??? Oct. 17 at Southern Mississippi Oct. 24 Cincinnati Oct. 31 Connecticut Nov. 6 at San Jose State Nov. 14 at UNLVNov. 21 Fresno State Nov. 28 at Utah State Bowl Game: Poinsettia Bowl, San Diego, Calif. That last line is correct: As of today, BYU has a bowl agreement for 2015 (Poinsettia Bowl) but not for 2014. Holmoe said Tuesday that an announcement will come shortly regarding where the Cougars will play postseason in 2014. "For next year, is the one that is most important to me right now," he said. "And I feel really good about where we are. But that's just not contracted, so I can't comment on it. But I think it will be good for our program, and I am excited about the potential matchups. I think when it is done, it will kind of hit some of the pillars that we are looking for in our program." Regarding more long-term bowl agreements, he said. "I feel really solid on all but one. There is one that goes out a number of years that we haven't even discussed. It is just kind of floating there. We have an agreement with ESPN that they are going to get us a game. So I am not worried about that. They have a lot of games. And it is far enough out in our contract with them, that it will be fine." Speaking of ESPN, here's what Holmoe said when he was asked about BYU's relationship with the cable sports giant and whether the agreement that is reaching its halfway mark will be renewed: "Our general relationship with ESPN is great," he said. "When we first signed the agreement and started having these discussions, I couldn't have imagined that it would be where it is today. They are so willing to work [with us], the relationship with ESPN is so strong, that we have gone to them and asked them for some assistance, and they've given it willingly. And they have come to us, and asked for us to be able to help them out in some situations. And of course, we want to respond favorably. They have been able to help us in basketball. I think that Maui Classic [invitation] is a game that [showed] we have a strong relationship with ESPN not just in football, but we have a strong relationship with ESPN. Moving forward, they are happy with how things are. We give them an opportunity. We are like wild-card team that they can use in certain situations. We can fill certain voids that they have. We are willing to play non-Saturday games. It is difficult in some situations with some of our fans, but it is an incredible opportunity to get exposure, and they are willing to give it to us. We are going to have some great opportunities this year to be widely seen. And if we can play well, it will be a super arrangement. Going forward, we would definitely want to [keep the relationship] with them, and all indications from them are yes. It is about the time where I would say maybe in the next year or two, the discussion will come up." Finally, here's what Holmoe said when he was asked what the 2013 schedule taught him about the program: "I think it shows us that we need to get stronger to be able to play that kind of a schedule. And the schedules of the future look like that, if not stronger. And that is the philosophy that Bronco [Mendenhall] and I have going forward, is that you want to be able to schedule strong teams to be able to make a name for yourself in the country, winning those games, that if you win those games, then you end up as a top-20 team. And if you really can play extremely well through the course of the season and knock off teams that are probably favored over you, then you have a chance to be a top-15 or top-10 team. And that's where we desire to be."

Hey there loveys:)
Do you know Ashley from
Well, she's here to share some yumminess!!
And I know how much you love yummilicious food!
I'm giving her free reign of the blog today - talk to you guys later!
{don't miss me too much - lol!}
Hi there! I'm Ashley the mama/baker behind Sugar Mama Bakeshop. I'm so excited to be here on Cover to Cover! Thanks for having me Nay :)
These cake truffles are so fun to make & are a lovely addition to a dessert table or even make a great party favor! The recipe is designed to be gluten free & vegan (all of my recipes are), but you can easily use any cake/frosting you like! I found myself with extra coconut, almonds and a (slightly sunken) chocolate cake one day. And that's how the Almond Joy truffles were born :) The great thing about these is you can swap out for any flavors & mix-ins you want. So they can be different every time! Or add a stick and you've got a cake pop :)
{Almond Joy} Cake Truffles
from Sugar Mama Bakeshop
-your fave chocolate cake-baked & cooled according to instructions
(you can buy a gluten free/ vegan mix right here)
-1-1 1/2 cups vanilla frosting
(there's a mix for that too)
-about 1 cup of whole raw almonds cut into halves
-1/2 cup shredded coconut
-2-2 1/2 cups vegan dark chocolate chips
-2 tsp Spectrum organic shortening
-crumble cake into fine crumbs (easiest way is to use your hands... don't be afraid to get messy!)
-add frosting, almonds & coconut and mix together (the amount of frosting really is a personal preference depending on how you like the texture. As long as they're sticky enough to roll together you're good to go!)
-using a cookie scoop (or tablespoon) scoop mixture onto parchment lined cookie sheet and shape with your hands to make them nice and round.
-freeze for at least half an hour.
-when truffles are nice and chilled they're ready to dip into chocolate! I found that a toothpick inserted into each one was the best way to coat them evenly and finish with a smooth coating.
-Melt together chocolate and shortening and dip away (I would recommend doing this in 2 or 3 batches so the chocolate stays warm and smooth!)
-If you're decorating with sprinkles makes sure you add them before the chocolate cools, if you're using frosting on top (like I did) you'll add that after the chocolate hardens.
-Put the truffles back in the freezer for 30 minutes- 1 hour.
-They keep perfectly in a sealed container in the freezer!

Super cute downloadable game coming out in the fall.
Super cute downloadable game coming out in the fall.
WARNING: Contains spoilers
If you listen to Girlfight (and if you don't you should!) you heard me briefly talk about my dissappointment in Alan Wake. I really thought the game was mediocre at best. It started out interesting. I like the initial set-up and the gameplay mechanic that required light in order to defeat enemies. The art was bad from the start. After I finished Alan Wake, I went back to Heavy Rain. Wow. What a difference. Alan Wake's characters look like they belonged in the last generation of consoles. They looked plasticky and awkward, with bad textures for hair.
But I would have been able to look past the art if the rest of the game held up, but it just didn't. Lots of game reviewers have been hailing its story as being great and original. I guess they don't read fiction very much. Anyone who reads horror novels with any regularity saw the ending coming from the time his wife disappeared. And the fact that the game explained everything for you in Episode 4 was just insulting. I was enjoying the story a lot more until that happend.
Again, I could have overlooked the cliched story if the gameplay had been fun, but after shining my flashlight on yet another guy with an axe in the middle of woods, I got bored pretty quickly. The enemies didn't change in any meaningful way, and some of the gameplay set-ups were just laughable. The stage scene in particular was just ridiculous. Maybe the developers meant it that way, but it really didn't fit in with what was an otherwise serious game. I also hated the stupid plot elements that were there just to give you another battle. Like when you're trying to get into the church, and the sheriff says the lock is broken because the minister forgot to fix it. You turn around and face a swarm of enemies, and then viola. The lock is open with no explanation. And that very same set-up was used multiple times in the game. The door is blocked you have to come around. I can't open the gate from this side, you have to find a key, etc, etc. That just feels like lazy game design.
After I have a such a strong negative reaction to a game, I often go look to see what other game reviewers have said. According to Metacritic, 33 outlets (IGN included) gave the game a 9 or better. This baffles me, especially when you stack it up against other recent games like Singularity (which was better in my opinion) and see that game got all of 3 reviews of 9 or better. Am I crazy? Were they all playing a different game than I did? Did Microsoft place sublimal messaging in the review copies? Or was this a case of the over-excited fanboyism that seems to happen after every highly anticipated release. My bet is on the latter. My score for Alan Wake - 6.5.
Have you played the game? What did you think?
Don't know what What They Play is? It's the family-oriented site in the IGN network. We cover games there, but just not from as hardcore of a perspective. Managing that site also makes up most of my job. I've written a couple of previews of games I saw at the EA event on Tuesday, if you're interested.
After all the chatter around the office about Limbo, I downloaded it last night and played it for about 2 hours. I absolutely love it. The aesthetic is brilliant and beautiful, and the game involves my favorite type of gameplay - environmental puzzles. I'm only 34 percent through the game, and I've already felt challenged by some of the areas. Some of the puzzles are baffling at first, but they're the kind where you feel really accomplished after you figure them out. I can't wait to get home tonight and play some more.

Alice POV
Was fate on my side for once?
I looked at Marrisa and smiled, she smiled back.
Her last name is Brandon. My last name was Brandon. Could she be my niece? It was fairly likely. I couldn't remember any of my family but I had a vision about her the other day that she was coming here. If she wouldn't mean something to my life sometime soon why would I have a vision about her?
The bell rang and we all went off to class. Spanish and English went past as a blur, I was trying to figure out the meaning of my vision but that didn't work. I needed to ask Edward if there was anything interesting she was thinking about…
The bell rang to leave school and I went racing out of class to see Edward to ask what Marrisa had seen. Edward was waiting in the car for me with Bella, Renesmee and Jasper. I hopped in the car and hugged Jasper.
"She could see images Alice." Edward started before I had even asked. "She can see things, like you..." he continued.
My mouth fell open, wow. That happened to me when I was human, the only memory I had. Was seeing things that were going to happen in the future.
"Wow." Wow was all I could manage.
"If she tells people they will think she's crazy…
"Like they thought you were." Edward finished.
"Yes, well I think she is my niece anyway."
"She recognized you, Alice."
"From where…"
"She isn't sure but I'm guessing family photos?"
"Okay, wow." I finished.
Then Edward started driving.
Edward and Bella were having a conversation in the front whilst Renesmee was staring out the window watching the trees fly past us as a blur.
It didn't take long to get home, only about five minutes. Edward, Bella and Renesmee went off to their cottage whilst Rosalie and Emmett went upstairs.
"Maybe you should speak to Carlisle about it." Jasper suggested.
"Yes, I suppose that's a good idea, thanks Jasper." I hugged him, "Want to come to the hospital with me to see Carlisle?"
"Sure," Jasper replied.
"Okay, let's go."
We ran through the forest then walked through the hospital from there, it wasn't too far, plus we didn't get tired. It was easier to run than drive a car, quicker too.
We walked into the hospital at normal human speed which annoyed me, it was so slow but we were used to it and had to blend in.
We walked into Carlisle's office.
He looked up worry crossed his face. We never usually came to see him in his office unless anything was wrong but I thought that this was important.
"Okay, I know we shouldn't really come to see you at work, but I thought this is important." I started
"Okay" He looked slightly confused.
"Well, you know I could see the future when I was human? There is this girl who joined school, she can see the future and I think she is my niece…"
Wow, that came out in a rush, I had been in the dark for ages, not knowing my history, but this one person could be my niece.
Carlisle just looked at me – he looked as surprised as I had been.
"Wow, how can you be sure she is your niece?" Carlisle started
"Well she has the same surname as I use to and Edward said she recognized me from family photos, I recognized her too."
"Wow, why is she here?"
"Her mom and dad died in a car crash recently…" I looked down, my sister had died yet I didn't even know her because I was so much older.
"Is she staying in the foster home around the corner?
That foster home usually only has small children in it." He finished
"Yep, she told me she is at the foster home, but her little sister Amy has been adopted already so she is on her own, I feel kind of sorry for her."
A vision flashed through my mind of Carlisle and Esme adopting Marrisa.
"Awww, this is why you guys are the best adoptive parents ever."
Confusion crossed Carlisle's face "Why? What did we do?"
"Well you are going to adopt Marrisa!" I exclaimed excitedly.
Worry crossed Carlisle's face…"We can't adopt her though we are all vampires she is human…she can't live with us…she would figure it out sooner or later."
"But you are going to; she is my only family Carlisle, please…" I left the sentence to hang there.
"Okay, I will think about it but we are going to have to be reasonable about this" he replied.
"Okay, thanks Carlisle,"
I dragged Jasper out with me; we walked again at human pace out of the hospital and then ran through the forest back home again.
I was so excited…maybe we could change Marrisa into a vampire? If we prepared her for it and she figured out what we were herself…I smiled.

When you first become a dedicated tea drinker it may be easy to assume that all teas are relatively the same. After all, you simply need to boil water and steep the tea bag, right? Wrong. The truth is that tea varies from type to type and as a result different teas have different requirements in order to get the best possible quality from the tea. A tea that calls for boiling hot water and a short steep time will not do as well as a tea that requires a cooler temperature and longer steep time. There are different strengths and flavors of tea that benefit from different conditions.
So what is the best way to ensure that you use the optimal temperature for your tea? One method that is commonly used is to use a thermometer to track water temperature and pour the water when the temperature is optimal. However, that can be a bit of a hassle and tedious to say the least. What you need is an electric tea kettle.
You can find an electric kettle in almost any kitchen and while there are some who feel that they are pointless unitaskers the fact remains that the best electric kettles are able to give you the best results for your teas. This is because many electric kettles come equipped with temperature control and automatic cut off. This means that you can rely on the temperature from the kettle to be consistent. If you have a tea that needs to be a low temperature then you simply set your kettle to that. You can find a large number of electric kettles here: http://brewfreshly.com/great-electric-kettles/.
It also needs to be said that an electric kettle is useful for more than simply tea. With an electric kettle you can boil water faster than with a stove top. You can quickly boil eggs, rehydrate dehydrated food, and make a large number of recipes. It takes the singular task of boiling water and transforms it into a far more convenient process.

A trial in the UK this week has revealed a worrying but sadly not unique view of witchcraft. 15-year-old Kristy Bamu was killed for being a "witch" He was beaten and tortured to death by football coach Eric Bikubi and his partner Magalie Bamu.
His ordeal, prior to death, lasted 4 days. It took place in the home they all shared. Magalie was Kristy's sister. Kristy was in London with his siblings, to spend Christmas with their sister. When the couple began to believe that Kristy was possessed they attacked him. Kristy's problems began when he "wet" himself. This led Bikubi to accuse Kristy of witchcraft.
Kristy's battered body was found on Christmas Day. 2010. The London Evening Standard reported that, "His face and head were covered in deep cuts and bruises, his ears twisted and two teeth knocked out with a hammer." "Of the 101 internal injuries, 35 were caused by sharp objects and 66 by blunt instruments. A screw was found in his bowel. Among torture items police found were pliers, floor tiles, a chisel, bits of wood and knives." The beatings were described as, "unspeakable savagery and brutality"
During his terrible ordeal Kristy even spoke on the phone to his father in Paris. Sadly his father did not believe Kristy when he said that Bikubi was going to kill him.
Yesterday, March 1, 2012, Bikubi and Bamu were found guilty of the death of Kristy. The trial revealed such horrific injuries and details that the jury were told they would never again be called for jury service. The pair of killers are awaiting sentence.
Kindoki is a type of witchcraft that is popularly believed, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire, and among a community of 8,500 in London. Kristy's death and this week's trial has shown something which must be stamped out. It has no place in the world. It definitely has no place in the UK, especially in the 21st Century.
In the end Bikubi tried to drown Kristy.and he died from a combination of drowning plus the beatings to his head, chest and limbs."
Following the trial TV news programs in the UK have shown video footage of children being "cleansed of their demons", some of them in the UK and some in Africa. The children are usually beaten. The degree of the beating depends on the individuals. It has also been revealed that the beatings are often paid for. It is a way for the "pastors" to earn money. Slight of hand often is used to fool parents. Gullible people willing to believe, are easily led.
"Experts have warned that a misguided belief in witchcraft now posed a greater threat to children in Britain than those in Africa. Adrift from the restraining force of their communities, there is little to stop young migrant Africans living in London letting their beliefs in sorcery and exorcism running out of control - with potentially murderous ends".
In 2005 the BBC reported that children were being trafficked into the UK for use as "human sacrifices". Police were facing a wall of silence and it seems little has changed.
All of the links show that some children suffer terrible fates, often at the hands of those who should be caring for them.
RIP Kristy.
Update March 5, 2012 Sentence has been passed on Bamu and Bikubi. The Old Bailey Judge, Judge David Paget told the pair that they were guilty of "prolonged torture involving mental and physical suffering being inflicted before death". 15-year-old Kristy suffered 130 injuruies to his body, leading up to his death.
Sky News has reported that, "The judge accepted that Bikubi's mental damage may have made him more inclined to believe Kristy was a witch and a threat to a young child of the family. But he added: "The belief in witchcraft, however genuine, cannot excuse an assault to another person, let alone the killing of another human being." Both Bikubi and the Bamu family hail originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where accusing children of witchcraft and then exorcising them is commonplace.
Magalie Bamu, 29, was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in jail and her partner Eric Bikubi, 28, to a minimum term of 30 years.

Picture paging Notre Dame's final score
[Ed-M: Gord morning. No it wasn't a dream. Read this. Also: AIIIIIIIIIEEE!!!]
I was curious to see what Mattison dialed up on Notre Dame's last score, to see what he was trying to accomplish and what went wrong. Here is what it looked like:
If you count Michigan and ND's players, you get to 10: there must be another WR at the bottom of the screen, covered by Troy Woolfolk. Michigan has everyone near the line of scrimmage, but the call is actually a Cover 3 and they will rush three defensive linemen, leaving 5 players to play the short zones:
I think that Woolfolk's assignment is the deep third at the bottom of the screen, but thanks to ESPN we can't see him. Here is what the defense looks like right after the snap:
You can see the three rushers, four of the five short defenders, and two of the three guys trying to get deep.
Notre Dame is going to run the following play:
Floyd is in the slot, and is presumably Rees's main target since it is third down and they need to convert (although it is obviously four-down territory).
The result of the play we all know.
(The play starts at 2:24)
I don't know anything about football beyond watching and reading mgoblog and smart football, but I think the idea of the call is this: by putting all our defenders close to the line of scrimmage, to bully ND into checking into a play that involves a quick pass (remember it's 3rd and 5). Then you rush 3, flood five players into the short zones, hopefully allowing you to break up the pass or make a tackle before the first down markers. The problem was that Rees didn't force it to Floyd, who was covered by Jake Ryan; instead he threw long, and Woolfolk and Marvin Robinson don't cover Theo Riddick.
I think that Mattison's call was sound; either Woolfolk or Robinson should have had Riddick (although it's hard to be sure since we can't see the whole field on ESPN's feed). The problem is, as Dr Saturday and Chris Brown of Smart Football pointed out,
Let The Good Times Roll
So what did everybody do tonight? I know what I am not doing. I am not sleeping, that's what. It's too tough to sleep when you cant stop laughing.
Other than, you know, winning did Michigan do anything well tonight? To quote Bob Ufer, 'who gives a damn'
The Michigan-Notre Dame rivalry. Where 14-0 leads go to die. And where Underdogs happen.
Hey, Elno. I quoted Raised On Robbery in my MGoDiary. I think that was appropriate in retrospect. CAW
You know what that was? I'll tell you what that was right now: IT WAS THE MOTHERFUCKING LLOYD CARR GAME MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT RICH RODRIGUEZ NEVER READ BECAUSE KIRK FERENTZ STOLE IT TO BOSS THE BIG 10 FOR A COUPLE YEARS UNTIL BRADY HOKE WON IT BACK DURING THE COACHES WRESTLING TOURNAMENT AT THE BIG 10 MEETINGS THIS SUMMER
Apparently, it still works like a charm. Even the Les Miles section was dusted off.
Ferentz, I guess, is already in trouble without it
Actually, wait a sec, do those points MICH scored in the fourth quarter really count. I mean, they were down 17, I thought we learned a year ago that at that point whatever happens isnt relevant to form. So, Notre Dame won, right? HALOL
The Cubs were World Series Champs last time MICH beat Notre Dame three years in a row. I was not alive then. Fuck The Irish
Denard Robinson is Spanish for 30 seconds is too much time to leave on the clock
Somebody tweet something about Jeremy Gallon right quick
Vincent Smith. Its funny how internet posters hate him, but coaches love him.
OT: The Tigers Magic Number is in single digits
I really dont have anything smart to say. This all just an excuse to create a party diary. The stadium was beautiful tonight. The players fought their asses off. Somehow they won. Go Blue.
Let The Good Times Roll
Game Day Weather
A comfortable warm start to the first ever Big House night game, looking at 71 degrees for the kick off and a light breeze out of the SSE. Some of you eager tailgaters (or those of you who spent the night camped out to get a spot near ESPN's tent) saw some showers come through the area. We are going to see that rain shift southward, particularly south of I-94, as the remnants of what was tropical storm Lee finally push out towards the northeast. Shower chances will continue to decrease throughout the evening and overnight but the clouds will stick around. For halftime we'll drop just a little into the mid 60s, keeping a very calm wind out of the SE, and unfortunately there is still that slight chance of small shower passing through the area. As you leave the stadium tonight (to celebrate the win of course) temperatures will still be in the low 60s, and stay there through last call. The further North you are, the lesser chance you have of cloud cover and/or rain, but the lower your temperatures will be.
Enjoy the game and Go Blue!
Christina Burkhart is a meteorologist for NBC/ABC in Traverse City, MI. She grew up in Ann Arbor and associates Saturdays with Michigan football. Go Blue!!
September 10, 2011. Notre Dame at Michigan. 8:00 pm EST.
We've all had this game circled for months, ever since Brandon's announcement or perhaps the soft unveil of the mash jerseys thanks to 'You're Turning Violet Violet' Brian Kelly's not-so-subtle slip during their own press conference.
Either way, this game is a spectacle, and we're essentially the top story of the college football weekend. Gameday, primetime crew, etc. Been a long time since we've heard Musberger, right?
I spent parts of yesterday watching BTN's replay of the '97 and '99 ND games, and I admit I kind of forgot how enjoyable the late 90's Wolverines were. And not because I knew the outcomes. It was about pride. Swarming defenses. Chuck's intimidating ownership of, well, the entire field. An arrogant confidence in the offense's will to win. A-Train.
It was about pride.
It's been some journey since those days, and not necessarily the best journey. But here we are, back in the spotlight of college football and in an opportunity to announce the close of the misery that has hung over Ann Arbor since, well, the horror.
Let it be about pride tonight. GO BLUE.
The artwork above was created by yours truly this summer in hopes of being granted that most magical of things, an official license by the university and ultimately a t-shirt available for sale. Unfortunately, Adidas (technically, it's adidas) basically swallowed the entire night game and stamped it with the 'Under the Lights' moniker. I really wanted this one to see the light of day, but ah well-- hope you enjoy the glimpse of it. Wear the MGoShirts tonight!!!
Michigan/Notre Dame: Surviving The Second Quarter And Other Key, Fake Props
(Diarist Note: We're setting up a tailgate all day tomorrow at the Fingerle Lumber Yard (Fifth/Hill) with the family truckster, otherwise known as Wild Rover II, a mid-1990s model Fleetwood Destiny mobile home. There will be a lot of people coming and going during what's going to be the longest tailgate day in our program's history. Everyone is invited to swing on by and chill if you're in the 'Hood. If you cant figure out which ones we are, just start yelling my name as you walk by the rows of RVs. If you don't look too much like a gomer, then I'll speak up. I'll be up there by noon, drink in hand, watching and talking football. Also: Go to the JCB, play the Pick-4 and, well, don't you think its about time you bookmark us or something on make us a regular read? )
Oh boy. It's here. Michigan/Notre Dame Week. NIGHT GAME WOO!!!! It is always one of the more tense weeks for me on the football calendar. As a 30-plus year vet of Michigan Stadium, I can state there aren't too many other times the Big House is more tense and on edge then when its invaded by 15,000 loud, obnoxious and drunk Leprechauns. Add in the historic night game aspect, and I have been antsy about this game for months now. Thankfully, we'll be tailgating a stone's throw away from a liquor store.
I was born in the early 1970s and raised not only on robbery, but also on 1980s college football. That means I have a healthy--or is it unhealthy--dose of dislike, disdain and distrust of Notre Dame football. To this day, I get rankled more about their team and most of their fan base, more than even Ohio State. Who am I kidding? I don't even have a problem (most of the time) with OSU fans. They're all great employees. Heck, I am even kinda, sorta dating one of them right now. What can I say? She has HAWT tattoos. But, they are all my neighbors, after all. There's a respect and a kinship to a certain degree when it comes to me and OSU fans.
But Notre Dame? That's a whole different ball of wax. Maybe it's all those losses highly ranked Wolverine squads suffered at the hands of the Irish when I was an impressionable lad. Maybe it's that douchebag Rocket Ishmail. Maybe it's that silly looking Oom Pa Loompa turned hero Reggie Ho. Maybe it was the cackling of my friends dad--a Toledo grad who adores Notre Dame because of his arch Catholicism--as Gillette's field goal swerved too far to the right in 1988. Maybe it's their liberal use of index cards to determine first downs. Maybe it's Paul Hornung winning the Heisman Trophy on a team with a losing record while some guy named Jim Brown got the shaft. Maybe it's their belief that God actually gives two shits about their stupid football team. Maybe it's because the Grotto is filled with piss water funneled in from Gary. Maybe it's because Rudy was offside. And a serial exaggerator. Maybe it's all the annoying Irish fans that decked themselves out in 49ers gear during the 1980s because OHMYGODJOEMONTANAISTHEBEST. Maybe it's because of that insufferable imp Lou Holtz. Maybe it's the ND blogosphere meltdown because they were playing a bowl game on Christmas Eve. Maybe it's because one on my favorite non MICH games ever was Miami 55, ND 7. And BC 41, ND 39. It's a toss up. I could go on and on, but I fear I have already ruined the sweet, laid back image I have cultivated here on these blog pages over the years by letting some of this hate spill.
But, I love Michigan-Notre Dame games. Yes, the programs are on hard times. Yes, this is no longer the 1980s or early 1990s when these games annually were early season National Championship Semifinal contests. But the games remain special. The pageantry remains everything that is good about college football. And, have you seen their games recently? They provide us with crackerjack contests that go down to wire, that could be retold by epic poetry worthy of gridiron heroics. And, its the easiest game to bet on every single year. Take the points with the underdog. Don't think about it. Don't do any of those silly head to head positional breakdowns. Don't even try to measure the intangibles. Just book the underdog and save all the analysis for the postgame. Since the modern series resumed in 1978, the underdog is a dominating 22-5 ATS. The underdog has won this game more often straight up than the favorite. And routinely the underdog--really the winner of this game period--plays their best game of the season. Did the 1994, 2006, 2009 or 2010 Wolverines play a better game all season than their 'upset' wins over the Irish? How about the Irish? Did their 2004, 2005 and 2008 clubs perform better and win than they did when they upset the Wolverines those Septembers. The last time the Irish covered as a favorite in this series was 1982, coincidentally the first ever night game in Notre Dame Stadium. That's just the kind of symmetry that scares the pants off me when the stinkin' Irish are involved.
Regardless, Michigan is the underdog tomorrow, and, like the last two seasons, that is where my money will be come kickoff. Its the first of seven games already on the betting board for 2011 where Michigan is not only the underdog, but faces buckets of money being bet against them in the wake of the dismal Rodriguez years. We'll find out tomorrow if all that dough that poured in on Notre Dame back in June to drive the initial line of Michigan -2 all the way to Notre Dame -4.5 in the span of a few hours was a good investment or not for all the Brian Kelly slappies in Wise Guy Land. Kelly is pissed at his QB? Wait until Rocko and Moe lose another game on your boys, coach. Then, you'll see anger. And 'For Sale' signs. We bet against the Irish last week at the JCB and won. We're already on MSU +7 next week. And we're on Michigan tomorrow. Let the Fade Notre Dame Tour Of 2011 continue. I'd ask God for help, but he's got bigger things to deal with than football. Like trying to figure out how to cave all the Irish posters on His new blog. Even He thinks they're annoying.
While I promote the fact that no analysis is needed for this game from a capping standpoint, that doesn't mean we cant chat about the keys to the game through our own make believe prop board. So, without further adieu, here we go. Don't forget to play the Pick-4 at the JCB. And, for sure, swing by the Fingerle Lumber Yard tomorrow for some rooting, tooting good times.
Michigan vs Notre Dame, Second Quarter Score: Irish -3.5
This prop covers the second quarter score only. It is also one of the four Pick-4 props for the week at the JCB. If you aren't playing the Pick-4, then what the hell are you doing with your time anyway? You're not that far behind after one week, so join in and play now while the season is still young. Getting back to this key to the game, why the second quarter? For me, its the true litmus test on the new coaching staff in Ann Arbor. Not how they use Denard, not can they cobble together a serviceable defense, not can they teach anybody on campus to kick the ball. Nope. I am judging the new sheriffs in town by how Michigan does in the second quarter. A year ago? It was a fucking disaster. The Wolverines were thumped to the tune of 194-83 in the second quarters of their games last season. As a result, they rarely got to halftime in any important game in legit range of their foe. Can the new coaches change this? Can they make enough improvement on the field and hold games together better in the early going so that perhaps their talented Shoelace in the hole has a chance to win games in the fourth quarter. That's something that college football fans were robbed of last October and November: The chance to see Denard play with the game on the line in the fourth quarter. Michigan outscored their opponents in every other quarter a year ago, but by being drubbed by almost a 2.5 to 1 margin in the second 15 minutes torpedoed the whole season. Seven times they were outscored by at least 10 points in the second stanza. Michigan was able to tie UMass 10-10 in the second quarter, but the only team they beat a year ago in the second quarter was, guess who? The Notre Dame Fighting Irish. But, they needed an historic and magnificent 87-yard TD run by Denard to make that happen. A week ago? Michigan won the second quarter 20-3. A turnaround or just a fluke from playing a MAC team? In the first legit showdown of the season, I am as intrigued by how the second quarter goes down as anything else. Maybe its just an early round of Maize and Blue Kool Aid in advance of the weekend, but In Hoke I Trust. Let's win this second quarter MICH. From there, the game will be ours, I say.
Cierre Wood -15.5 rushing yards over Fitzgerald Toussaint
Fitzgerald Toussaint featured prominently in our mock props a week ago, when we asked readers to determine whether or not he would surpass his career rushing totals in the opener. He needed 88 yards against Western, but ended with only 80. Certainly this would have gone Over had, you know, a fourth quarter actually been played. Let's involve Fitz again, this time matching Good 'Ol #28 head to head with another tailback recruit from the 2009 class. Fitzgerald Toussaint vs Cierre Wood. Toussaint was a Rivals 4-star recruit, the #8 ranked all-purpose back in the country coming out of high school. Wood was also a 4-star recruit per Rivals in the 2009 class, but their gurus placed Wood in the 'running back' category as opposed to 'all-purpose back' as they did for Toussaint. Everybody wanted a piece of Wood as he held scholarship offers from USC, Auburn, Florida and Nebraska as a high school senior. It took a while for his career in South Bend to take off, but he found a groove in Brian Kelly's offense a year ago and it was his hard running, along with the GRITTY QB play of Tommy Rees, that sparked the Irish charge late last season that had everyone excited about this year's prospects. He didn't carry the football more than 7 times in any of Notre Dame's first six games of the 2010 season, but he pretty much evolved into their feature back down the backstretch, toting for double digit carries in six of their final seven games, rushing for more than 81 yards four times. The Irish may have whiffed last week against USF, but not because of Wood, who surpassed the century mark for the first time in his career. The junior rushed for 104 yards and added 44 yards of receiving for good measure. He and Michael Floyd ought to give the Irish a tailback/receiver combo as productive as just about anybody else in the country. In this battle of the stats, we have the 8th ranked all purpose back in the 2009, the 14th best player in Ohio that year in Toussaint going up against wood, the the 8th ranked tailback in the 2009 class, the 8th best player in California that season. Whichever emerging Redshirt Sophomore playmaker shines the most tomorrow night might tip the balance of this game.
Roy Roundtree O/U 6.5 catches.
We know a few things about Royland Roundtree. He does a great Donald Duck, wakes up HONGRY, turnovers follow any pass he drops, he holds the Michigan single game record for receiving yards and is a great bounce back player. And that's what we're focusing on here. Every since he became a regular in Michigan's lineup during the final third of his redshirt freshmen season in 2009, he's rarely has back-to-back sucky games. A week ago, he wasn't much of a factor against Western Michigan, hauling in just two passes for 17 years. The four previous times in his career since becoming a regular that he caught three or less passes, he pretty much turned around and blew up the following week. After his less than stellar outings, he's bounced back to average 7.25 catches and 143 yards per game. This includes his eight catch effort, highlighted by the huge third down conversion, in last year's Notre Dame win as well the record setting performance in the Illinois win. Their wasn't really any pass catching stars for Michigan last week, but it was a game where that wasn't really needed. Somebody will have to step up this week, though, just because its a bigger game. Given his bounce back efforts, my money is on Roundtree.
Michigan -1.5 over Air Force
I know what you are thinking. Is JamieMac that much of a connected degenerate that he already has a line for next season's home opener against Air Force? No, really, I am not that connected. Degenerate? 50/50. But this is an actual prop offered tomorrow by sportsbook.com. They have a whole board of fantasy matchups pitting a pair of teams from different games against each other. San Diego State is -3 over Notre Dame. Can Hoke beat the Irish with both his new and old team? Talk about a chance at history, Brady! So, in the hypothetical matchup between the Wolverines and Fly Boys, Michigan is short 1.5-point chalk, which is ironic because Michigan isn't chalk right now in any actual game listed on the same book's future board. But they are favored in a game that they're not even technically playing. I blame Rodriguez. FIRE RICH ROD! I am reluctant to play props like these. I have never done so, but man it sure seems like a fun thing to track. Air Force is playing TCU in the middle of the day on Versus. Well, unless Versus shows a replay of last week's Notre Dame instead. Other fantasy props of this ilk include Iowa -2.5 over Missouri, Penn State -1.5 over Boston College and Alabama -0.5 over TCU. Notre Dame isn't anywhere on this board, perhaps a testament to how scared books are at releasing too many lines that involve the major question mark that remains the Michigan defense.
That's all I got. Its going to be a fun day and night in Ann Arbor. Please, everybody be safe and defer to the side of good, clean fun. There will be a lot of the latter going on at the Lumber Yard, so if you're hanging around the 'hood, stop on by.
Go Blue. Fuck The Irish.
Introducing: Laquon Treadwell
Previously: OT Tristan Nickelson, DE Taco Charlton
The "Introducing" series, which features interviews with up-and-coming junior recruits, continues with a look at Crete-Monee (IL) wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The 6'3", 183-pound junior has a great deal of interest in Michigan, and will make a return visit for the Notre Dame game after coming to Ann Arbor for this summer's BBQ at the Big House.
Treadwell is teammates and good friends with 2012 commit Anthony Standifer, who will accompany him on his visit this weekend. As a sophomore, Treadwell tallied 58 catches for 811 yards and seven touchdowns as a wideout while also recording ten tackles for loss, six sacks, and five forced fumbes as a defensive end. I caught up with Treadwell on the phone last night, and here's what he had to say about his recruitment, Michigan, and his goals for his junior season.
ACE: What are you looking for on your visit to Ann Arbor?
LAQUON: I'm looking to meet with the coaches, the guys who committed there, and just being down there with Anthony and seeing the game.
ACE: Have you talked to any of the other recruits besides Anthony?
LAQUON: No, I haven't.
ACE: Do you have any early favorites of the teams that are recruiting you?
LAQUON: Yeah, Michigan's a favorite.
ACE: What other schools have been looking at you?
LAQUON: Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Indiana, Vanderbilt, schools like that.
ACE: What does it mean for you to have your teammate, Anthony [Standifer], already committed to Michigan?
LAQUON: I think it's great. He thinks it's a great program, and I also think it's a great program, so I think it would be fun for both of us if I do commit there. I'm just looking forward to going down there.
ACE: What sticks out to you about Michigan? What do you like about the school?
LAQUON: I just like the whole new coaching staff, and they're all fun to be around and outgoing. [I also like] the fans, the fan support.
ACE: What would it mean to you in terms of your recruitment if Michigan were to extend an offer to you?
LAQUON: I think it would be great. It would be a big step in my recruitment. I think my family would be happy for me, and we'd sit down and talk about it.
ACE: I know it's early on, but do you have any idea about a timeline, when you'd be thinking about making a possible commitment?
LAQUON: I'm not sure right now.
ACE: Your team [Crete-Monee] is 2-0 right now. What are your goals for finishing out your junior season, and what are you trying to work on in your game to take it to the next level?
LAQUON: The team goal would be beating Moline this week, and if we get the win going undefeated on the season, winning the state [title]. The biggest thing I would have to work on this year, well, I'm not sure.
ACE: Well, what would you say are your strongest qualities as a player?
LAQUON: Making people miss and catching the ball in traffic.
Thanks to Laquon for taking the time after his practice to do the interview, and I'll keep you updated on his visit and recruitment -- it certainly sounds like Michigan is in great position to land a commitment if (and likely when, considering the early interest from both parties) they extend an offer.

I've also traveled around and noticed American women seem to have this sense of entitlement about everything. I have no problem having sex with them and then kicking them to the curb after a few weeks, but dating is out of the question. There has to be conflict, there has to be drama. Spend spend spend, sleep around. No wonder more men stay single these days. They're also fat as fuck.
I would agree that many Americans are fat and rather pathetic looking, both men and women. United States is the land of lard. I also would agree that US men and women are pretty much messed up and do generally make poor mates for each other. The men have no gender role and the women usually take on the role of a man, which basically makes them like boys. If a man wants a real woman, I would suggest he go over seas where the culture is not garbage yet and the women haven't turned into boys. I would suggest Asian countries and if you like whites, try Russia.

Israel Aerospace Industries received $30 million in contracts to supply signals and communication intelligence capabilities to unnamed customers.
The contracts, awarded to IAI subsidiary ELTA Systems, facilitate the delivery of an advanced communication intelligence system, or COMINT to an unidentified operator in Europe. ELTA is also tasked with supplying a signal intelligence suite to an undisclosed buyer in Asia.
"IAI/ELTA has a worldwide reputation as an expert in systems signals intelligence," ELTA president Nissim Hadassaid in a press release. "These systems are a key component in the operational battlefield of any modern military. These new contracts are further evidence of the continuing trust and confidence of ELTA's customers in our advanced and continuously improving solutions which we have been providing for over 40 years."
The COMINT system is designed to provide real-time intelligence and tactical information for military operators, as well as cooperate with existing defense communication networks.
For the company's Asian customer, the SIGINT will be comprised of ELK 7071 COMINT and ELL-8385 ELINT systems. Operators will be able to integrate the suite on existing military aircraft, and use the systems to obtain airborne, ground and maritime intelligence information.
The ELK 7071 is a communication intelligence system fitted for use on unmanned aerial vehicles. According to IAI, the device is able to perform long-range, high endurance COMINT missions. The ELK 7071 acquires information by scanning, interpreting and analyzing various communication transmissions.
The ELL 8385 is also compatible with unmanned aircraft and several other platforms, and can operate in modern dense radar environments to disseminate intelligence information.

So suppose you like a girl. I always deal in hypotheticals. It's easier that way. Does patience really pay off? I know pressure isn't good. Just wondering if the time is worth the investment. Girls, do you like it when a guy takes his time?
How important is patience when you're attracting a girl? Does it really matter?

Not sure what you mean about having patience in this manner. If there is a girl you like, do you not talk to her, get to know her and ask her out? Not sure what you are waiting for?00|00|0
It's a slow dance. Things take time, and I understand that. God knows I've learned patience. Yes, I do talk to her. I don't know how things will pan out. I'm along for the ride just like everyone else is. I'm hoping for the best but expecting the usual. I guess I just blew hypothetical out of the water on that. Oh well. Such is life, I guess.
I guess you have to gauge each situation individually. Some people open up rather quickly and others take time to crack. You just have to read their behaviour and hopefully guess right if you are moving too quickly or not.
Well, I'm glad I have the benefit of experience. I'd have blown it already if I hadn't. I can tell this is going to take time, just trying to decide if it's worth the investment or not. I think it is, but we'll see, I guess. Thanks for commenting, by the way! I appreciate the advice. I honestly do. :)
it depends on the girl , some will think your taking things too slow and others will be ok with this and not want to date or do things rate away anyways. but I think in general girls would appreciate a guy who had patients and didn't expect it all rate away00|00|0
Kinda my thinking, too. But patience is hard!

|First appearance
|Final appearance
|Portrayed by
| Brad Dourif (1984 film)
Jan Unger (2000 series)
Jan Unger in the Dune miniseries (2000)
Piter De Vries is a fictional character from the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. He is featured in 1965's Dune, the original novel in the science fiction series, as well as the Prelude to Dune prequel trilogy (1999–2001) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
In David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of the first novel, De Vries was played by Brad Dourif. He was portrayed by Jan Unger in the 2000 Sci Fi Channel Dune miniseries.
In the service of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, De Vries is a Mentat — a human specially trained to perform mental functions rivaling computers (which are forbidden universe-wide). De Vries is particularly useful to the Baron because he has been "twisted", or made into an amoral sadist by his Tleilaxu creators. This makes him an ideal candidate to be the Baron's torturer.[1]
De Vries' loyalty to his master is unusual in that he continues to serve the Baron with great enthusiasm even though his Mentat abilities and great intelligence confirm his suspicions that his master plans to eventually kill him.[1] As he says in Dune:
But you see, Baron, I know as a Mentat when you will send the executioner. You will hold back just so long as I am useful. To move sooner would be wasteful and I'm yet of much use.[1]
In Dune, it is established that De Vries had pioneered a type of toxin called "residual poison" which remains in the body for years and requires an antidote to be administered regularly. One such fatal poison is secretly administered by the Harkonnens to Thufir Hawat, the Mentat of House Atreides, in order to keep Hawat's allegiance as the only provider of the antidote[1] (in the 1984 movie version, it is shown that Hawat has to milk a gruesome captive cat for the antidote every day).
De Vries is generally regarded as architect of the plan to destroy House Atreides, long-time enemy of the Harkonnens, while restoring the Baron's stewardship over the planet Arrakis. It was Piter's techniques and torture that broke Wellington Yueh, the Atreides Suk doctor's Imperial Conditioning against taking a life. Yueh eventually betrays House Atreides. Yueh gives the captured Leto a false tooth containing a poisonous gas. When the tooth is crushed, intended victim Baron Harkonnen escapes, but Leto and De Vries die.[1]
Prelude to Dune
In Dune: House Corrino (published in 2001 and the third novel in the Prelude to Dune prequel series by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson), Piter De Vries discovers the Harkonnen heritage of Lady Jessica and her newborn son Paul, and attempts to kidnap and ransom the infant. The plot is thwarted and the secret preserved - the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam kills the Mentat and arranges for his corpse to be shipped home to Giedi Prime. An enraged Baron is left with no choice but to order a duplicate from the Bene Tleilax: the Mentat De Vries featured in Herbert's original novel Dune.[2]

The speculative opportunities for condo investors abound. Many come in the guise of REO purchases; buying properties that have already been foreclosed upon. I have written of several over the last weeks. Such opportunities are not without their risks. Now more than ever, anyone even remotely considering buying a condominium ought to speak to a lawyer well before the ink dries on the offer sheet.
One such problem relates the the treatment of those monthly association assessments. Who pays the bill when a unit goes delinquent, then is lost to foreclosure? Conventional wisdom might have it that the seller / bank must pay off the balance before closing. At least that is what you might think
if your expectations are based on what happens in "conventional" condo sales.
NOT SO, for foreclosures. The bank only has to pay for the association bills for the time that they actually own the unit.
Current Illinois Law allows, in some but not all cases, for an association to demand payment of up to six months of assessments and costs from the buyer of a foreclosed property. That can come as quite a shock to unsuspecting Buyers. Inquiry must be made at the outset, to avoid surprises and assess the true transaction costs before it is too late.
NEWLY PROPOSED Illinois law makes this even more important. Sen. Ira I. Silverstein recently introduced SB2102, for consideration. If enacted, this bill proposes to eliminate the six month limitation. In other words, Buyers of REO condominiums would face the prospect of having to pay ALL delinquent condo assessments up to the date of foreclosure.
Alert Buyers and their attorneys might be able to use these situations to either negotiate a concession from their sellers or to renegotiate a transaction price to offset this "added" cost. Dillatory or unprepared buyers will simply have to be prepared to pay more to complete their deals.

Re: [pepysdiary] Josselin, Ralph (1617–1683), Chur ch of England clergyman and diarist,
- Many thanks for sharing this link - most interesting biography. I noted the comment of the writer "But in seeking explanations for why God took away his ten-day-old son Ralph, Josselin opens a window on to another world when he finds the explanation in a punishment for his playing too much chess. As his references to a monstrous birth and parishioners who had seen the devil reveal, for all the intimate familiarity of his family life, Josselin inhabited a very different mental world." In the light of P. Robertson's remarks about Haitians' pact with the devil (so-called) "causing" the earthquake, maybe the mindset is not so different for some people. C.f. some people in the UK blaming the lightening strike and subsequent fire at York Minster in the 1980s on the appointment of the 'unGodly' [sic] Bp. of Durham.A.S.

Josselin, Ralph (1617–1683), Church of England clergyman and diarist, was born on 26 January 1617 at Roxwell in Essex, the first son and third child of John Josselin (d. 1636), farmer, and his wife, who was probably called Anne.
Education and early career
Josselin's early education was at Bishop's Stortford. By his own account he was an eager pupil, with a special love of books and histories, both secular and biblical. From his early days, he claimed, he showed a desire to become a clergyman. He loved to hear ministers preach and afterwards to imitate them—`acting in corners' (Diary, 1)—and to walk home solitarily to meditate on the sermon. His mother died in 1624 when he was not yet eight and when Josselin was in his early teens his father—an unsuccessful farmer—married again. Josselin seems not to have got on with his stepmother and in 1633 he was sent to Jesus College, Cambridge. Despite interruptions to his studies caused by lack of money, he received his BA in 1636–7 (and his MA in 1640). His father died in 1636. Having toyed with thoughts of becoming either a farmer or a lawyer, Josselin decided on a career in the church, and spent the next three years trying to support himself in a succession of posts as schoolteacher and curate. In March 1641 he became vicar of the parish of Earls Colne, Essex, where he was to spend the rest of his life.

Severe thunderstorm risk in the Prairies; watches and warnings in effect
Digital Reporter
Saturday, May 24, 2014, 4:08 PM - That record-breaking heat across the Prairie provinces has a sting in the tail, courtesy of a wide-ranging cold front from a passing low pressure system.
"It will act as a trigger for potentially severe thunderstorms in eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba this afternoon and evening, respectively," Weather Network meteorologist Brett Soderholm said Saturday morning. "Strong winds, heavy downpours and hail is possible."
Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of southeastern Saskatchewan Saturday afternoon, warning for the potential of heavy downpours, hail and gusty winds.
"Most of these storms will develop and dissipate quickly," added EC in a weather statement.
Residents in southern Manitoba, meanwhile, were being told to take immediate shelter as a severe thunderstorm warning was in effect Saturday evening.
"A strong thunderstorm north of Ste Rose du lac is tracking northeast at 30 km/h," wrote the agency in a statement issued at 6:30 p.m. CDT. "This storm has the potential to produce nickel size hail and wind gusts to 100 km/h."
VIEWER VIDEO: Calm before the storm
The thunderstorm potential will ease early Saturday evening for the region.
Southern Alberta also has a risk of thunderstorms, although any that do spark up are not expected to be severe.
Prior to the cold front, the warm temperatures were widespread all across the Prairies on Friday.
"Those were a result of warm air being funneled in from the continental United States, and similar conditions are expected today," Soderholm says.
Friday's heat broke records dating back to the 1990s and 1970s in some communities.
A return to more seasonal temperatures is forecast for the region by Monday, with showers pushing into southern Saskatchewan.
WHAT'S THE WORST KIND OF RAIN? Not every downpour is the same. Watch the video below for what to look out for.

C. Trottier was a collector of Atlantean artifacts, based in Monte Carlo.
C. Trottier once purchased several Atlantean pieces from Sophia Hapgood.
In 1939, Hapgood planned on buying back the pieces to help in her and Indiana Jones' search for Atlantis. Marcus Brody sent a request to reacquire the artifacts on Hapgood's behalf, however Trottier was murdered by Nazi Colonel Klaus Kerner in his office and items stolen before he could respond.
Behind the scenesEdit
In Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Trottier's full name is given as "Alain Trottier" and has a quite different role. The comic adaptation simply identifies the forename with an initial "C." on his desk and his role is minimal.

text: Report Urges Changes for Future Hospitals 11/26/2008 | A report released from Oakbrook Terrace, IL-based The Joint Commission offers guiding principles and actions to help future hospitals meet the challenges of older and sicker patients, patient safety and quality of care, economics, and the workforce. As these challenges escalate, hospitals can lead the effort to meet these demands. Health Care at the Crossroads: Guiding Principles for the Development of the Hospital of the Future contends that hospitals must respond in new ways as healthcare costs are hitting record highs and the conditions and care needs of hospitalized patients are increasingly complex. The report is the work of an expert panel comprising hospital executives and clinical leaders, as well as experts in technology, healthcare economics, hospital design, and patient safety. The roundtable analyzed how socio-economic trends, technology, the physical environment of care, patient-centered care values, and ongoing staffing challenges will impact the hospital of the future. "The importance of hospital-based care will not diminish in the future, but hospitals will have to meet the high expectations of the public and all stakeholders in an increasingly challenging environment," says Mark R. Chassin, president at The Joint Commission. "As they have been in the past, hospitals must be equally transformative as the future unfolds. The Joint Commission urges hospitals and public policymakers to use the principles in this report to achieve that aim." The white paper describes issues ranging from technology to personnel to architectural design, and recommends action in five core areas ... a few of which involve the facilities themselves: 1. Economic Viability There is a growing gap between the profitable and unprofitable hospitals. An aging population and a continuing decline in employer-sponsored insurance means that hospitals can expect increases in publicly insured patients and uncompensated care. This is expected to create more competition for the fewer patients to whom costs may be shifted. For hospitals to be economically viable in the future, the following principles must be pursued by hospitals, healthcare stakeholders, and policymakers: --Align performance and payment systems to meet quality and efficiency-related goals. --Use process improvement tools to increase efficiency and reduce costs. --Pursue coverage options to ensure patient access to, and affordability of, healthcare services. --Address how general acute hospitals and specialty hospitals can fulfill the social mission for healthcare delivery. 2. Technology Adoption Information technology plays a major role in improving healthcare quality and safety, and it can help support the migration of hospital-based care into the community, and even the home. The technological transformation of healthcare also invites the redefinition of the hospital, according to the report. To address technology in the hospital of the future, the expert roundtable suggests the following: --Make the business case and sustainable funding to support the widespread adoption of health information technology. --Redesign business and care processes in tandem with health information technology adoption. --Use digital technology to support patient-centered hospital care and extend that care beyond the hospital walls. --Establish reliable authorities to provide technology assessment and technology investment guidance for hospitals. --Adopt technologies that are labor-saving and integrative across the hospital. 3. Patient-Centered Care The patient is at the center of care and has the greatest stake in his or her care and, as such, should be respected as an equal partner regarding care. The elevation of the patient to partner is not a ceremonial title bestowed for a "feel-good" moment, but has significant implications for the quality and safety of patient care. Family members or others to whom the patient is emotionally tied are also part of the healthcare partnership. According to the report, achieving patient-centered care should be driven by the following actions: --Make adoption of patient-centered care values a priority for improving patient safety and patient and staff satisfaction. --Incorporate patient-centered care principles into the activities of hospital oversight bodies and transparency initiatives. --Address barriers to patient and family engagement, such as low health literacy and personal and cultural preferences. --Eliminate disparities in the quality of care for minorities, the poor, the aged, and the mentally ill. --Improve the quality of care for the chronically ill through coordinated, multi-disciplinary care. --Use robust process improvement tools to improve quality and safety. 4. Staffing Workforce shortages have persistently plagued hospitals over the last several years. To address the fact that demand for certain healthcare professionals outstrips supply, and to meet the needs of patients in the future, the report makes the following recommendations: --Establish fair migration and compensation policies for countries facing shortages of healthcare workers. --Expand health professional education and training capacity to accommodate the growing demand for healthcare workers. --Create workplace cultures that can attract and retain healthcare workers. --Develop professional knowledge and skills necessary in a more complex healthcare environment. --Educate health professionals to deliver team-based care. --Develop the competence of health professionals to care for geriatric patients. 5. Hospital Design Hundreds of studies have revealed hospital design characteristics that work for improving patient safety and healthcare outcomes and providing a supportive environment for hospital staff. Yet, most new hospitals are not being built "safe by design." To achieve this goal, the report calls for the following actions: --Improve safety with evidence-based design principles, such as single rooms, decentralized nursing stations, and noise-reducing materials. --Address high-level priorities, such as infection control and emergency preparedness, in hospital design and construction. --Include clinicians and other staff, patients, and families in the design process to improve staff workflow and patient safety, and to create patient-centered environments. --Design flexibility into the building to accommodate advances in medicine and technology. --Incorporate green principles in hospital design and construction.
