Tough transition for Hurricanes' QBs

New Canes wide receivers coach Aubrey Hill gives players some instructions during practice.
Video | Battling to be UM's quarterback
University of Miami offensive coordinator Patrick Nix knows the transition from veteran to rookie quarterback won't be seamless.
''It's tough,'' Nix said Wednesday, the lone day a.ssistant coaches are accessible to the media. ``You've got to shelter them a little bit, put them in situations and then try to not put too much on them. But at the same time, it's also fun because you have a clean slate. They don't have good experiences, but they don't have bad experiences either.''
Nix, in his second year at UM, said he doesn't care which of his unusually large crop of receivers gets open, as long as someone gets the ball. He said the biggest challenge with three spring-practice quarterbacks who never have played in a college game is getting each enough snaps to determine who will emerge as the favorite.
''The problem is getting reps,'' Nix said. ``Obviously, they all need reps to see who can do what before we start shuffling around the reps.''
On Tuesday, when quarterbacks were made available, freshman Jacory Harris said he wasn't nervous a bit. ''Pressure busts pipes,'' he said. 'I take every day like it's supposed to be fun. I'm never nervous. I don't get rattled. Coach Nix asked me before practice, `I bet you're nervous?' I said, 'No, Coach. It's just a regular day for me.' ''
Nix said of quarterbacks Harris, Cannon Smith and Robert Marve: ``At times, they've been very poised and handled things very well and at other times, they've panicked a little bit. But the good thing is they haven't panicked and made a game-changing mistake the first two practices.
``I don't think we've had an interception yet -- knock on wood.''
New wide receivers coach Aubrey Hill said the first two days his players have done everything has asked. ''They've run their routes well and they're catching balls,'' he said, ``but we've still got a long way to go.''
Northwestern High's Aldarius Johnson, a strong, physical presence at 6-2 and 200 pounds, has impressed in the short time he has been in Coral Gables. ''He has done a great job learning the system and running his routes,'' Hill said. ``We just have to work with the whole group on fundamentals.''
Offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland said former center A.J. Trump has moved to guard, leaving Florida International transfer Xavier Shannon, Matt Pipho and Tyler Horn competing for the starting center spot.
''They're all working with the ones, rotating through,'' Stoutland said.
He said Shannon is doing well. ``For a guy who just got here to be able to learn the system and make all the calls -- he's very bright. You can tell he's from a football family.''
Cornerback Chavez Grant is pretty impressed with new defensive coordinator Bill Young -- for an old guy.
''He's real nice,'' Grant said. ``I really like him. He's real energetic, always smiling. For him to be up in age . . . I really don't know [how old] he is, but he runs around good and is very active.
``We're still going to blitz and we're still going to play man, but we're going to mix in a little zone, so it'll be different.''
Young, 61, said he was very happy to be at Miami after helping lead a once unheralded Kansas defense to 12 victories and the Orange Bowl title last season. ``We've just had two practices. I'm kind of learning on the run. It's a real positive atmosphere right now. We have some big, fast guys who are very athletic. They're tuned in and want to learn. I'm excited about the prospects.''
UM coach Randy Shannon has stripped the U from all helmets worn by new players or redshirt freshmen who didn't travel with the team last season. ''Coach Shannon said we have to earn the U on our helmets,'' receiver Jermaine McKenzie said.

DT Marcus Forston is happy to be with his fellow Miami Northwestern freshmen teammates Sean Spence, Jacory Harris and Aldarius Johnson at UM.
He says the four of them are close.
Very close.
Everyone says were like quadruplets, Forston said. Every day everybody sees us together. We take a shower together, go to class together, do everything together. We wait for the shower to clear out, go in there and talk. We go to the bathroom together, everything. So thats the bond we need this year.
Some things are better left unsaid n*gga
Between this and Randy Shannon's comments about butt buddies I think they should just take this program and move to San Francisco, fu*king homos.
@ the picture and the caption under it, sh*t is beyond funny.

Miami American High School defensive end Olivier Vernon got a Hurricane offer last month.
And he took an unofficial visit to UM with his coach yesterday.
"It was fun," the 6-foot-3, 230-pounder with 4.8-second speed said. "I felt welcome. I met all the coaches. They were saying to join the family and go where your heart is."
It appears that is Miami.
Vernon lists a top five of UM, Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina and Florida State. The five are among more than 15 offers he currently lists.
But it's Miami that is at the top.
"Miami's way in front," Vernon said. "Alabama is No. 2."
It may not take long for the Canes to land Vernon's commitment. He says "it's possible" he will be committing by the end of the weekend.
"Soon I will decide," Vernon said. "I don't know when, but maybe by the end of the weekend."
Vernon is compared to Jason Taylor - a shorter version, of course - by his coach, who says Vernon's quickness is outstanding.
Vernon arrived in high school without any organized football experience - he played soccer growing up. He came out for the team as a freshman 170-pounder and was put at defensive end. He's been there ever since.
As a sophomore he had 42 tackles and seven sacks, and last year he opened eyes with 52 tackles, 12.5 sacks and 18 tackles for losses.

The Hurricanes practiced in full pads for two hours Saturday. And it was a virtual toss-up at the end of practice as to which unit won – each day Randy Shannon declares either the offense or defense winners, and the other group has to do sprints.
Today the team did extensive third down work, and the offense converted four of six third-and-long situations. But the defense held for the most part on third-and short, winning that aspect of practice.
With running sprints on the line, the offense converted one third down and the defense stopped the offense the next time.
So it came down to the Oklahoma Drill at the very end of practice as to which unit would run.
"We won the third-and-short, but they won the third-and-long, so we needed a tie-breaker," CB Chavez Grant said.
"Everything was third down, blitz, third and long – there were no touchdowns today," WR Jermaine McKenzie said.
DE Eric Moncur won the first head-to-head battle in the Oklahoma Drill, then an offensive player won, and then DB Anthony Redd*ck sealed the day for the defense by pancaking his man.
"(Coach Randy Shannon) let us choose, and we chose those guys to go in," Grant said.
The offense dutifully did their running while the defense watched on.
After practice several players were punished – Romeo Davis, Tervaris Johnson, Tyrone Byrd, Ian Symonette and Chris Rutledge did up-downs across the length of the field while Joe Joseph did rolie-polies across the field.
Coach Randy Shannon wouldn't say why the players were punished.
"That's team rules," he said.
* The defense had one fumble recovery today – Shawnbrey McNeal coughed it up. So after practice he was forced to run the length of the field with running backs coach Tommie Robinson, falling on a ball Robinson would drop every five yards.
* RB Lee Chambers says the running game is "doing real well" this spring.
"I have to give credit to the offensive line," Chambers said. "They did a great job last year, but since we've been out here in the spring it's the same O-line, but it's a whole new O-line. There are so many holes to pick from when you're running the ball.
"I just want to give credit to the O-line. The run game is our bread and butter. When coach Nix calls a run play they know it's time to get at it. There's plenty of holes to pick from and the running back just picks and chooses."
Chambers says he's still not back all the way from an injury he suffered last season. He declined to say what kind of injury he suffered.
"I'm just trying to get the offense down, contribute the best way I can," he said.
Chambers says he felt the offense performed extremely well today.
"If it was a game we'd have rolled them by 70," he said. "I've got that much confidence in the offense. Third down and long, third down and short today we did great."
* DB Lovon Ponder said he thought it was a 50-50 battle between offense and defense today.
But he does like what he's seen from UM's offensive attack.
"We're going against an offense that's real good," Ponder said. "I can see it right now. Ever since these guys first came in we've been working on routes, running. We're gelling real well."
Ponder spoke about some of the freshmen defenders: "Sean Spence, he's a great player. He's going to be one of those top ones that come out of here. He plays hard to the ball, he's physical, fast, does all the intangibles for a linebacker. Arthur Brown is a big, physical guy. He hits. When he's tackling, he tackles people. He's a real physical player. Marcus Forston, he needs to learn a little bit more about college football, but he's playing hard."
Asked if Spence reminds him of anyone, Ponder said, "A young Roger McIntosh."
Ponder dropped an interception chance late in practice and did pushups as self-imposed punishment.
"The sun got in my eyes," he said. "I should have caught it like a baseball player."
* WR Sam Shields is the team's leading returning receiver, but he's shuffled back and forth with the first, second and third groups in practice.
Asked about the timing with the new quarterbacks, Shields said, "The timing is getting there. We're working on it."
Who is Shields' pick for who throws the hardest out of the three QBs? "Robert Marve," he says.
Who is the most accurate? "All of them," Shields said.
Shields adds, "I'm confident in all (the quarterbacks)."
Shields, who has been suspended and benched in the past for off-field issues, says as a junior now he has his head on straight.
"I have to take things seriously, do the little things," he said.
* True freshman WR Aldarius Johnson had one of the nicer plays in today's practice when he caught a screen pass in a third-and-10 situation – he juked a defender and picked up 16 yards and the first down on the play.
"It was a screen play, a third down situation," Johnson said. "I made a move on a D lineman to get free."
Johnson says he's learning how to go up against "Bigger, stronger players." He says "I think I can make a big impact" this year.
* WR Daniel Adderley sys he's "learning a whole lot" this spring. He says he's still working on picking up the nuances of UM's offense.
"I'm learning a whole lot, and I'm ready to make a contribution to the team next year," he said.
He likes what he's seeing from Miami's quarterbacks.
Asked about how Robert Marve is performing, Adderley said, "He's doing pretty well, just as good as Jacory Harris. They're both competing right now, looking real good.
"Their style of play – when I see Robert I see someone like Brett Favre who guns it in there, is a gunslinger. But he's also skillful, thoughtful the way he throws the ball. Jacory is like Peyton Manning, puts more touch on the ball. They're both very good quarterbacks. It really doesn't matter – they're both great guys and we're confident in whoever is going to play this year."
Of Cannon Smith, Adderley said, "He made some real good throws today. When he gets going he really does get going. We're looking forward to seeing what he can do, too."
* Taking punt returns today were Jermaine McKenzie, Aldarius Johnson, Damien Berry, Chavez Grant and Shawnbrey McNeal.

Miami American High School defensive end Olivier Vernon told CaneSport last week that he hoped to have a commitment in place by the end of this weekend.
Mission accomplished.
Vernon announced his UM commitment today.
"It's closer to home and I wented to be by my family," Vernon said. "I love it there."
Vernon actually committed to UM coaches on Thursday but said he "wanted to keep it on the down low."
Now he's ready to make it public.
"I have committed to Miami," he told CaneSport.com. "I visited there (unofficially on Thursday) and committed then. Coach (Clint) Hurtt and coach (Aubrey) Hill and my parents and coaches were there. They asked me what I want to do, and I was like, `I want to commit, be part of the family.' Their coaches were jumping around, congratulating me."
Vernon said he's still going to take some visits.
"I might visit Alabama," he said. "It's pretty much 100 percent a done deal, but I want to go on visits, have fun."
Vernon is a 6-foot-3, 230-pounder with 4.8-second speed. He lists over 15 scholarship offers and chose the Canes over Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina and Florida State.
Other schools that offered included Florida, Illinois and Kentucky.
Vernon is compared to Jason Taylor - a shorter version, of course - by his coach, who says Vernon's quickness is outstanding.
"The biggest thing he does real well is he has a quick first step and he's so much stronger than everybody with his step and strength," said American High coach Ben Aarestad. "He runs through and around people."
Vernon arrived in high school without any organized football experience - he played soccer growing up. He came out for the team as a freshman 170-pounder and was put at defensive end. He's been there ever since.
As a sophomore he had 42 tackles and seven sacks, and last year he opened eyes with 52 tackles, 12.5 sacks and 18 tackles for losses.
"Miami coaches said they'd love him to come there, that they want him bad," Aarestad said. "They said they need him to help lock down Dade."
Vernon hopes to play as a true freshman at UM.
"I should play right away," he said. "My weight is there already. I just need to gain like 20 more pounds."

Hurricanes spring-practice chatter:
Javarris James and Sam Shields entered as offensive gems of the 2006 recruiting class, regressed as sophomores and are determined to prove last year was an anomaly.
James averaged just 3.7 yards per carry (down from 4.7 as a freshman and behind Graig Cooper's 5.5) and lacked burst because ``I was trying to protect myself after [an opening-game] neck injury. I didn't play to my potential.
``There were a couple times I let my teammates down. I've got a lot to prove to myself. [Out-doing cousin] Edgerrin James is definitely one of my goals. I always wanted to be better than him.''
The encouraging news: James has bulked up from 205 pounds to 216 and, ''he's got more burst and speed,'' running-backs coach Tommie Robinson said. ``He didn't get the yards last year, but people don't realize almost every long run he had was called back.''
James said the extra weight allows him ``to take more pounding, because I'm an inside runner. I feel a lot different. Teammates told me I've gotten quicker.''
Robinson plans to continue using several backs (James, Cooper, Shawnbrey McNeal, Derron Thomas and perhaps Lee Chambers) but said ''everything is up in the air'' as to whether James remains the starter. Cooper will push him, and Robinson called McNeal UM's fastest back.
Unlike James, Shields had off-field problems in '07 (disciplined for academic issues) -- and his receptions dropped from 37 to 27. He said coach Randy Shannon told him he must ''do the things I'm supposed to do'' to play.
''I see a change in him,'' receiver Leonard Hankerson said. ``He's more mature.''
Shields concurs: ``I've got to take things seriously . . . like going to class, catching extra balls.''
Shannon said Tuesday, ''Sam's got a new start. He's doing well.'' Shields is optimistic about his chances of starting, but competition has been intense. A UM person who has watched the private practices said Jermaine McKenzie, Hankerson and Aldarius Johnson have been the most impressive receivers.
That UM person also said Robert Marve has been the best of the quarterbacks and showing good command of the offense, and cornerback Chavez Grant has looked good. So has converted linebacker Allen Bailey at defensive end -- ''You can tell he's a monster,'' offensive tackle Jason Fox said.
Linebacker Glenn Cook predicts early arrival Sean Spence (Miami Northwestern) will play a lot at linebacker as a freshman. ''He's got a knack for getting to the ball -- he's already sitting on my routes,'' tight end Richard Gordon said. . . . Another highly touted incoming linebacker, Arthur Brown, said UM coaches have changed much of his technique, including how he tackles. Ex-Canes Jon Beason and Jonathan Vilma have reached out to offer advice and guidance, which Brown appreciates.

Added weight not an issue for Cooper
> Posted by Shandel_Richardson at 6:19:16 PM
The knock against Graig Cooper last year was his inability to shake off tacklers. Several times he went down on the first hit. There was no power in his runs.
Many, including Cooper and the UM coaches, felt it was because of weight. Cooper played at between 180-185 pounds as a freshman, but has bulked up to 202 now. The goal is for Cooper to keep his same speed, only with a little more strength. Losing quickness shouldn't be a problem because Cooper carried the weight through track season and said he hasn't lost a step.
"202 is cool for me, but the coaches want me to 205 by the time the season starts," Cooper said. "I'll just probably go up to 210 just in case. If that slows me down, I'll just drop back to 205."
Cooper said the added weight should also help him handle and avoid nagging injuries like last season. He missed the Virginia Tech game with a sprained knee and was also hampered with a thigh bruise throughout the season.
"It hurt me on a couple plays," Cooper said. "Just from having the little minor injuries, it just showed me that I needed to gain a couple of pounds. You can't take that kind of punishment as a running back, especially at the D-I college football level. You've got to have a couple pounds. It's not like this is high school where you can do what you want."
A few other notes:
-Defensive coach Clint Hurtt continued to rave about the progression of defensive end Allen Bailey, who switched from linebacker for the spring. Hurtt said Bailey's physical gifts have overshadowed his struggles of playing a new position. Still, Bailey has to pick up the basics before becoming the player UM needs on the line.
"I'll tell you what, he plays the position like he's been playing here for the last probably three or four years," Hurtt said. "He's been very, very good. The biggest thing is he has to continue to progress and make sure he doesn't hit that wall and get frustrated because there's going to be some tough times."
-The Hurricanes rotated between Bruce Johnson, Randy Phillips, Carlos Armour, Glen Sharpe and DeMarcus Van Dyke last season. If defensive backs coach Wesley McGriff gets his wish, that will change. He would prefer two players solidify the positions.
"You would like two guys to grab the bull by the horns and be the guy," McGriff said. "You don't want those guys to come out of the game unless they're injured or fatigued. That's what I'm really trying to hunt for. Give me two guys that are consistent."
McGriff also said junior Tervaris Johnson has made some strides, but still needs to make improvements before seeing any significant playing time.
"He has some tools to be a good corner," McGriff said. "He just got to get in the playbook more and be more consistent. You look at his size, his speed, all that's there. He just have to be consistent with his play."
-The player I didn't want to be after practice: Matt Bosher. Not sure what he did to deserve this punishment, but Bosher had to roll the entire field down and back. Twice. I've never seen a punter with that much mud on his jersey. It's amazing Bosher didn't vomit.
-Tomorrow UM will host a scrimmage open to public at Traz Powell Stadium. It starts at 6 p.m. Coach Randy Shannon said the "three" quarterbacks vying for the starting job (Jacory Harris, Robert Marve and Cannon Smith) will receive equal reps. Last year Shannon used walk-ons, but said that won't be the case Thursday.

Cross-linguistic examplesEdit
- Main article: Cross-linguistic onomatopoeias
Uses of onomatopoeiaEdit
In the case of a frog croaking, the spelling may vary because different frog species around the world make different sounds: Ancient Greek brekekekex koax koax (only in Aristophanes' comic play The Frogs) for probably marsh frogs; English ribbit for species of frog found in North America; English verb "croak" for the common frog. Related to this is the use of tibbir for the toad.
Some other very common English-language examples include hiccup, zoom, bang, beep, and splash. Machines and their sounds are also often described with onomatopoeia, as in honk or beep-beep for the horn of an automobile, and vroom or brum for the engine. When someone speaks of a mishap involving an audible arcing of electricity, the word "zap" is often used (and has been subsequently expanded and used to non-auditory effects generally connoting the same sort of localized but thorough interference or destruction similar to produced in short-circuit sparking).
For animal sounds, words like quack (duck), bark (dog), roar (lion) and meow (cat) are typically used in English. Some of these words are used both as nouns and as verbs.
Agglutinative languages or synthetic languages flexibly integrate onomatopoeic words into their structure. This may evolve into a new word, up to the point that it is no longer recognized as onomatopoeia. One example is English "bleat" for the sheep noise: in medieval times it was pronounced approximately as "blairt" (but without an R-component), or "blet" with the vowel drawled, which is much more accurate as onomatopoeia than the modern pronunciation.
An example of the opposite case is "cuckoo", which, due to continuous familiarity with the bird noise down the centuries, has kept approximately the same pronunciation as in Anglo-Saxon times and its vowels have not changed to as in "furrow".
Verba dicendi are a method of integrating onomatopoeia and ideophones into grammar.
Sometimes things are named from the sounds they make. In English, for example, there is the universal fastener which is named for the onomatopoeic of the sound it makes: the zip (in the UK) or zipper (in the U.S.). Many birds are named after their calls, such as the Bobwhite quail, the Weero, the Morepork, the killdeer, chickadee, the cuckoo, the chiffchaff, the whooping crane and the whip-poor-will. In Tamil and Malayalam, the word for crow is kaakaa. This practice is especially common in certain languages such as Māori and, therefore, in names of animals borrowed from these languages.
Comics and advertisingEdit
Comic strips and comic books made extensive use of onomatopoeia. Popular culture historian Tim DeForest noted the impact of writer-artist Roy Crane (1901–1977), the creator of Captain Easy and Buz Sawyer:
- It was Crane who pioneered the use of onomatopoeic sound effects in comics, adding "bam," "pow" and "wham" to what had previously been an almost entirely visual vocabulary. Crane had fun with this, tossing in an occasional "ker-splash" or "lickety-wop" along with what would become the more standard effects. Words as well as images became vehicles for carrying along his increasingly fast-paced storylines.[4]
In 2002, DC Comics introduced a villain named Onomatopoeia, an athlete, martial artist and weapons expert who only speaks sounds.
Advertising uses onomatopoeia as a mnemonic, so consumers will remember their products, as in Alka-Seltzer's "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz. Oh, what a relief it is!" jingle, recorded in two different versions (big band and rock) by Sammy Davis, Jr.
Rice Krispies (US and UK) and Rice Bubbles (AU) make a "snap, crackle, pop" when one pours on milk. During the 1930s, the illustrator Vernon Grant developed Snap, Crackle and Pop as gnome-like mascots for the Kellogg Company.
Sounds surface in road safety advertisements: "clunk click, every trip" (click the seatbelt on after clunking the car door closed; UK campaign) or "click, clack, front and back" (click, clack of connecting the seatbelts; AU campaign) or "click it or ticket" (click of the connecting seatbelt; US DOT campaign).
Manner imitationEdit
- Main article: Ideophone
In many of the world's languages, onomatopoeia-like words are used to describe phenomena apart from the purely auditive. Japanese often utilizes such words to describe feelings or figurative expressions about objects or concepts. For instance, Japanese barabara is used to reflect an object's state of disarray or separation, and shiiin is the onomatopoetic form of absolute silence (used at the time an English speaker might expect to hear the sound of crickets chirping or a pin dropping in a silent room, or someone coughing). It is used in English as well with terms like bling, which describes the glinting of light on things like gold, chrome or precious stones. In Japanese, kirakira is used for glittery things.
Examples in mediaEdit
- Whaam! (1963) by Roy Lichtenstein is an early example of pop art, featuring a reproduction of comic book art that depicts a fighter aircraft striking another with rockets with dazzling red and yellow explosions.
- Marvel Comics has trademarked two words of their own invention: thwip!, the sound of Spider-Man's web shooter, and snikt! the switchblade-sound of Wolverine's claws locking into place (which was replaced with the lesser-known schlikt during the period he was left without the adamantium covering on his bones). Marvel also uses the sound effect "bamf" to signify Nightcrawler's teleportation.
- In Doctor Who comic strips, the sound of the Tardis is represented as vworp! vworp!
- In the Garfield comic strip and television series, there is a running gag about a "splut," which is usually the sound of a pie hitting someone in the face.
- For example, Garfield once kicked Odie, but instead of 'kick' it said 'blagoonga', with Garfield remarking to Jon that Odie needs to be tuned
- The late Mad cartoonist Don Martin often used such words in his artwork, to comic effect.
- In the 1960s TV series Batman, comic book style onomatopoeias such as wham!, pow!, "biff!", crunch and "zounds" appear onscreen during fight scenes. This is often the subject of parody, for example in the Simpsons episode "Radioactive Man" where the onomatopoeic words are replaced with snuh!, newt! and mint! which are references to other Simpsons episodes. There are also internet memes with a picture of Batman and the caption "I can punch you so hard words will appear in thin air." or a variation thereof.
- Ubisoft's XIII employed the use of comic book onomatopoeias such as bam!, boom and noooo! during gameplay for gunshots, explosions and kills, respectively. The comic-book style is apparent throughout the game and is a core theme, and the game is an adaptation of a comic book of the same name.
- In the movie Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo, Tigger lists onomatopoeia as a possible word that Rabbit doesn't allow to be said in his house. Tigger also announces that onomatopoeia is in fact a real word. The irony in this being that "Pooh" got his name from the sound he made when trying to blow a bee off of his nose.
- The onomatopoeia that is said to be heard at a typical Disco Biscuits (a popular jamband) show is untz. This description seems to have originated from an interview with Bob Dylan, who said "I kept hearing this, untz..untz..untz..untz..(sound in the background of all the music)"
- In book 4 of Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels, the name of the Houyhnhnms is an onomatopoeia for the whinny of a horse.
- The chorus of American popular song writer John Prine's song "Onomatopoeia" cleverly incorporates onomatopoeic words (though as discussed, 'ouch!' is not the sound of pain): "Bang! went the pistol. | Crash! went the window. | Ouch! went the son of a gun. | Onomatopoeia | I don't wanna see ya | Speaking in a foreign tongue."
- Todd Rundgren wrote a humorous song "Onomatopoeia" which uses many examples in this "Love Song". Examples in the song start out reasonable and start to get more ludicrous as the song goes on.
- The comic strip For Better or For Worse is notorious for using non-onomatopoeic verbs as onomatopoeias, such as "Scrape," to indicate a person shaving, or "Tie," to illustrate someone tying a string around a package.
- A well-known rhetorical question is "Why doesn't onomatopoeia sound like what it is?". Iain M. Banks references this in his novel Against a Dark Background, when a character claims that the word onomatopoeia is spelled "just the way it sounds!".
- "Kerplunk" was used in the video game Final Fantasy VIII as the name of one of the Guardian Force Cactuar's attacks. For the Guardian Force Tonberry, the humorously out of place onomatopoeia of doink! is written on-screen during its powerful knife stab attack.
- In the video game Brave Story: New Traveler, an onomatopoeia appears wherever an attack hits its target.
- The January 8, 2008 comic of Ozy and Millie featured a panel in which Millie repeats the word "Splorsh" and Ozy quips "I've noticed you find Onomatopoeia extremely distracting."
- The marble game KerPlunk is an onomatopoeia for the sound of the marbles dropping when one too many sticks has been removed.
- The Nickelodeon cartoon Kablam is implied to be onomotapoeic to a crash.
- In a 2002 episode of The West Wing, Rob Lowe (Sam Seaborn) and Ian McShane (portraying a Russian negotiator) have a conversation about how the word 'frumpy' "onomatopoetically sounds right".[5]
- In an episode of Duckman, a fight between Duckman and King Chicken crashes through a college classroom where Ajax was earlier giving a presentation on onomatopoeia. They tumble through a series of signs from the presentation on their way through, each labeled with the appropriate onomatopoeia for the sound effect that plays during the fight.
- In one issue of Punisher, "funt" was used as the sound of a fired silenced pistol.
- Each episode of the TV series Harper's Island was given an onomatopoeic name which imitates the sound made in that episode when a character dies. For example, in the episode titled "Bang" a character is shot and fatally wounded, with the "Bang" mimicking the sound of the gunshot.

I'm not too sure how it'd happen, but there are some clues.
North Korea could send a nuke missile over to the USA or possibly South Korea (which is protected by the US).
Russia could starting invading it's neighbouring countries like Ukraine, Bulgaria and Estonia to try and reclaim the Soviet Union.
The Islamic State's forces could continue to grow and it would invade other countries to add to its 'Caliphate'?
What ways do you guys think WW3 could start?

Terrorism in the Middle East as well as the rise of oil prices will cause unrest in that region. Governments may collapse and the supply of oil to the rest of the word will be hampered. This will create the need to get oil and gas elsewhere. For Europe that would be Russia. And as a result, Russia gains a slow therm profit from increased European interest in their resources. But the same goes to the ever expanding China as well who will seek to solidify relations with the bear. Russia will be flexing it's muscle even more with it's neighbors and the worst thing that will happen is that Europe won't be able to do much because they don't want to freeze in the winter.
China's economy is based on expansion and growth without taking note of the resources they consume - just like Imperial Japan before them. And they will soon face the problems of lacking resources and manpower (aging population) and thus will want to expand (jut like IJ). Their immediate target would be Taiwan and the South China Sea - both lie within the US sphere of interests.
Due to the worsening global economic situation, immigration will be an issue for Europe's southern nations that will begin to stagnate economically. A result of this might be a more solidified EU... maybe even an EF by the Western European governments so that they could handle the situation. This displacement of people will create even more unrest and terrorism.
Eventually there will be the spark somewhere like in WW1 that will make everyone jump the war train. China will invade Taiwan, Best Korea will invade South Korea, South and Central America's will be dealing the drug cartels, Russia might try for something as well, India and Pakistan will go nuclear, Iran and Saudi Arabia go to war, ISIS takes over the fertile crescent and then goes for Saudi Arabia since Mecca is there, Israle and ISIS face each other head on, Africa becomes even more fucked, Europe goes nationalist and says "f u" to the immigrants but it's doubtful they will fight with Russia. In fact the two will be at relative peace, maybe a coldwar. The US either collapses or becomes isolationist because the dollar is intertwined with the global oil supply and abroad spending - both of which will stop as everybody will be fucking everybody.
Canada and Australia will be all like "eh? wot happening m8?"00|00|0

Maetsche Family
Maetsche Family
(Klein, Maggie, Harrison, and baby #2 due in February) With a two bedroom home and a baby on the way, we decided to convert our existing dining room into a bedroom for our oldest so the new baby could have the nursery. The garage was an awkward space. It was the only access to our basement, which meant we had to go through a cold, unfinished space to get back into a finished space downstairs. Also, the washer and dryer were in the garage, which made winter laundering inconvenient and very cold. Antonio, Nicki Huggins, and the crew installed heating and air, gave us beautiful flooring, and made a room so perfect it's worthy of a magazine cover! Nicki's design perfectly blends Klein's modern taste with Maggie's preference for something more rustic.
We are big football fans. One beautiful Sunday following the renovation, we had friends and family over to watch football. We moved our TV to the dining room for the day, and the weather was so perfect that we opened the garage door while we ate and enjoyed the games together. We had such a fantastic time entertaining in our new indoor/outdoor space!

Other Characters:
- Bathysphere
Synopsis for "Side-By-Side with Sub-Mariner!"Edit
Reed Richards is examining a massive sea creature which had washed ashore. Suspecting that it may have come from Namor's domain, he dispatched the Human Torch to check along the shoreline for any signs of danger. He spots an Atlantean woman rising out of the water and takes her back to the Baxter Building. There Sue recognizes her as Lady Dorma, Namor's beloved. She explains that she has come to seek the Fantastic Four's aid as Atlantis has been attacked by the barbarian hordes of Attuma, a fierce warrior who believes he is destined to rule Atlantis. She goes on to explain that she blames herself for Attuma's advantage in battle, as when Dorma expressed her fears of Namor being harmed in battle he dismissed her. Heartbroken, Dorma then showed Attuma and his minions a way to get past Namor's defenses.
Regretting her decision, Dorma rushed to the surface to seek out allies to help stop the invasion as the surface world would be at risk next. The Fantastic Four agree to help out and this time Reed has developed new inventions that will assist them in undersea missions. With his Oxy-Spray, Reed makes it possible for his teammates to breath underwater for hours at a time, the spray is so potent that even Johnny can use his flame powers underwater.
As soon as they approach Atlantis in their submarine, the Fantastic Four are attacked by Attuma's hordes and are forced to abandon ship. They battle their way through the soldiers and weapons. Meanwhile, in the kingdom, Namor and his forces fight back against the invaders. When the Fantastic Four arrive, Reed cautions his team to remain hidden as Namor may also view them as his enemies. Sue uses her invisibility powers to destroy a subsonic weapon. As Namor and Attuma battle it out, the Fantastic Four secretly keep Attuma's minions from interrupting the battle. As the battle rages on the Oxy-Spray begins to wear off. After Namor destroys Attuma's sword, Attuma surprises him by revealing hidden disintigrator rays. But the Sub-Mariner is given an upperhand in the battle when Sue secretly turns him invisible. Namor then subdues Attuma as the Oxy-Spray begins to fully wear off forcing the Fantastic Four to flee back to the surface before Namor could learn how they helped him that day.
In the aftermath of the battle, Attuma is defeated and banished from Atlantis. Later Namor reveals that he knows that Dorma betrayed him, but that he forgives her out of love. Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four are stuck using Reed as a buoy at sea as they left their submarine below the water. On the way home, Sue calls Reed darling, making him wonder if she has finally forgotten about her feelings for the Sub-Mariner.
Continuity Notes
- The Fantastic Four previously met Lady Dorma in Fantastic Four Annual #1
- Attuma's origins are revealed in Dark Reign: Made Men #1 and Fear Itself: The Worthy #1.
- Namor's people had mostly abandoned him in Fantastic Four Annual #1 and they are suddenly back under his rule in this story. Saga of the Sub-Mariner #9 explains that the Atlantean people returned to their king because they came to believe that they judged him too harshly.
- Reed's suspicions are correct as revealed in Fantastic Four: The Wedding Special #1, which showed that following the events of Fantastic Four Annual #1, Sue had made up her mind that she loved Reed over Namor.
Publication Notes
- This story is reprinted in Marvel's Greatest Comics #25.
- Story was later adapted into an episode of the Fantastic Four (1967 animated series) Episode 11.
- The cover image of the Sub-Mariner is a classic Kirby rendition. This image will be used for decades in marketing both the character and the company.

In a small Canadian province, a photographer found a house that had been abandoned for nearly 30 years. However, it was not empty, despite the fact that nobody had lived in it for three decades.
It's no surprise that the photographer took the opportunity to take some pictures since he was shocked to see some objects that looked frozen in time.
Are you read to take a journey through time? Here is a gallery of 30 photos that will allow you to rediscover how people lived in the 30s!

text: Citizens Communications ( CZN) President Scott Schneider stepped down Thursday to explore other opportunities.Schneider's departure came as the rural phone company posted a 16% drop in sales from year-ago levels. Eroding sales in local and long distance phone service, combined with the company's $4.3 billion debt, have forced CEO Leonard Tow to find a buyer for the struggling outfit. Citizens said last month it had hired bankers to pursue alternatives, and the company said Thursday that it expects to make a decision on a possible sale or some other arrangement this summer. Given the state of the company, investors were not surprised by Schneider's decision. Shares of the Stamford, Conn.-based telco fell 7 cents to $13.16 in late morning trading Thursday. Schneider, 45, will stay on until the company decides its fate. "My departure is solely driven by my desires to pursue other options that may be available to me at this time in my career, and should not, under any circumstance, be taken as an expression of any concern with Citizens' business or prospects," he said in a Thursday press release.

Reviews of Haven of Our Lady of Peace

I am/was a resident of this facility
I was here several years ago after a knee replacement. It was the best thing I could have done. Staff wonderful, PT & OT phenomenal!
Anonymous234300 January 14, 2017
I am/was a resident of this facility
I was at the Haven of Our Lady of Peace for at least three weeks. I liked it there, and I tried to get in, but they did not have any vacancy. I would rate it a 5 for about everything. First of all, the staff was very good; they knew how to take care of you. I had their food in my room because I didn't want to eat meat and potatoes and gravy everyday, and they accommodated me by sending me a salad and different things that were lighter to eat. They were very kind to bring it to me in my room, so I did not eat in the community area. There was a wall between my room and my neighbor's room, so it was very private. When I first went there, I wanted to walk and did not want to use a walker, and they never even considered that, so they taught me how to use a walker. A week or so after I was in there, I talked to one of the nurses I had gotten to know and said that they needed stairwell bars that people can hold on to and walk back and forth on their own so they won't need a walker, and from what I understand they now have one.

I liked Our Lady of Peace, and if I would be picking a nursing home, that's probably the one I would pick. It was clean, peaceful, and quiet. However, my mother doesn't qualify. The staff was fabulous, and the people were friendly.

They were great at Haven of Our Lady of Peace and really took care of my mom. They had really good physical therapists who really worked well with her as far as getting her back to her normal activities and everything. I feel they did a good job in the physical and occupational therapy.
John47482750 August 29, 2013
I visited this facility
I would recommend The Haven. They specialize in people that are mentally impaired. We had a lady client there who was an older woman but very active. She is the athletic type, but when she got West Nile virus, she went into The Haven. They thought she was going to die and, I mean, we did too. However, they rehabilitated her to the point now where she is actually able to walk a little bit better and it was just amazing. They're very effective and they do take care of the people in all stages of just anything wrong with them. Their staff is very attentive and caring. They don't just go and put their time in, they did more than punch the clock, which is good. Their rooms tend to be a lot smaller and a lot like hospital rooms. In terms of acvities, they have common areas in each section where people can watch TV together and so on. They really try to keep their patients engaged.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
When my dad was in the hospital, Haven of Our Lady of Peace had a bed available for him. So, I took that one because they are one of the best places. It is very nice and it doesn't look like a nursing home. It look like a very big house. Everything is very good and I am very happy. My dad is in a shared room. They have two beds and a private bath. They have a lot of activities. I think the food is very nutritious and the type of food that the elderly people need. They are like homemade food with not many condiments. However, they don't have much of variety, it think they may improve on that. I liked their personnel. I do recommend it to others.
Bandit 574 March 28, 2013

The staff at The Haven is very friendly and helpful. They have given excellent service to my wife. The rooms are fine and the food is very good. However, it's an older facility. They can improve on their cleanliness.

When Children Age Quicker than Their Parents
The intellectually disabled age more quickly than other people. This means they need services aimed at the elderly before they are officially entitled to it. Activists are campaigning to redefine old age for this group, so that they too can enjoy social benefits for the elderly.
Wheelchair Athletes Call for Better Sports Facilities
Hong Kong's successful Paralympics athletes are widely lauded by the government and in the media for their inspiring achievements. But little is heard about sporting needs of ordinary disabled people. Here, they tell Varsity about the problems they face in finding venues to train and the hurdles they encounter with the lack of facilities that cater to their needs.

WASHINGTON — When a federal appeals court ruled that the Voting Rights Act did not apply to state statutes that disqualify felons from voting, Judge Sonia Sotomayor accused her colleagues of usurping the role of Congress.
"The duty of the judge is to follow the law," Judge Sotomayor wrote, "not to question its plain terms. I do not believe that Congress wishes us to disregard the plain language of any statute or to invent exceptions to the statutes it has created."
"I trust that Congress would prefer to make any needed changes itself," she added, "rather than have courts do so for it."
Since President Obama nominated Judge Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, a ubiquitous accusation by her critics — conservative group leaders, talk show hosts, anti-abortion advocates and writers at blogs like RedState.org — is that she is a "judicial activist" who legislates from the bench.
Yet, while Judge Sotomayor has occasionally made statements outside court that conservatives find objectionable, it is far from clear that her judicial record supports the accusation that she is an activist. Several empirical studies have concluded that she is not particularly prone to overriding policy decisions by elected branches.Continue reading the main story
And her cases that have attracted the most criticism from conservatives — involving a decision to discard the results of firefighter exams because members of minorities scored poorly, a controversial property condemnation and a campaign finance law — are instances in which she deferred to policy decisions by elected branches that conservatives hoped judges would strike down.
A central problem in evaluating whether Judge Sotomayor is really a "judicial activist" is that even though the term has dominated public debate over courts for a generation, there is no consensus on its meaning.
Political scientists opt for objective criteria, saying that anytime judges strike down statutes or policy decisions by elected branches — no matter how uncontroversial their reasons — is an instance of "activism." By that measure, several studies have found, Judge Sotomayor is a mainstream jurist.
A study of immigration appeals by Chad Westerland, a professor at the University of Arizona, found that Judge Sotomayor had upheld the executive branch's deportation decisions 84 percent of the time — virtually the same as her court's average.
And a continuing study of 2008 cases by Corey Yung, a professor at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, found that her activism rate in all types of cases ranked 34th out of 52 judges. His data include five appeals courts so far.
"Over all, she is less activist than average — not by an enormous stretch, but she is basically there in the mainstream," Mr. Yung said.
But at a recent panel discussion on Judge Sotomayor, M. Edward Whelan III, president of the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, faulted such scholars as not distinguishing between routine judicial "activity" and judicial "activism" — which he defined as the invention of dubious rights as a cover for wrongfully overriding elected officials.
Mr. Whelan also said there were other kinds of error besides activism, including its opposite, "judicial passivism," when judges improperly let something stand. But Roger Clegg, president of the conservative Center for Equal Opportunity, said his definition of "activism" included judges' upholding favored statutes or policies even though they violate someone's rights.
By that measure, Mr. Clegg said, Judge Sotomayor is an activist. "She's shown that she is willing to ignore constitutional protections or statutory protections in order to uphold government actions of which she approves, like campaign finance laws and like the use of racial preferences," he said.
But Richard Epstein, a law professor at the University of Chicago who has criticized Judge Sotomayor's votes in the firefighters and condemnation cases, said that applying the term to her was a vacuous exercise.
" 'Judicial activism' tells you nothing," he said. "The term ought to be scrapped. In today's world it's just a synonym for bad decisions. O.K., I'm against bad decisions, too. But you always have to explain why, and there's no shortcut for doing that."
In some cases, as with her felon disenfranchisement dissent, Judge Sotomayor has lauded "judicial restraint" and expressed disapproval of judges who come up with creative reasoning seemingly to achieve policy outcomes.
In a 2000 dissent in an airplane crash case, for example, she chastised colleagues as stretching their legal interpretation out of "an understandable desire to provide the relatives" of victims a larger recovery.
In a 2000 dissent in a lobstering dispute, she said the majority was advancing a "novel interpretation" and a "creative approach." While she agreed that it made policy sense, she said it was "contrary to the plain meaning of the statute."
And in a 2002 dissent involving the firing of a police officer who had distributed bigoted materials, she said the majority bypassed precedent and entered "uncharted territory in our First Amendment jurisprudence" because it disliked the officer's views.
But there are also instances in her 3,000-case record in which she has been similarly criticized. In 2000, she joined a dissent that would have limited police authority to search for a suspect using race as a factor. A judge in the majority said the dissent had invented "novel equal protection theories."
In any case, Mr. Whelan said, Supreme Court justices have a freer hand than appeals court judges. He pointed to comments Judge Sotomayor has made in speeches as evidence that she may harbor an activist mind-set waiting to be "liberated."
"Sotomayor's rulings present fewer demonstrable instances of judicial activism, narrowly defined, than those of some other liberal judges," he said. "But her speeches about the judicial role and her broader record strongly suggest that she will be a liberal judicial activist" if confirmed.
Many critics point to a brief clip from a 2005 panel discussion where she said an "appeals court is where policy is made."
But she immediately retracted her words, and a fuller clip shows that she went on to explain that she had meant to say that appellate judges think about the ramifications their decisions will have as precedents.
And in more extensive comments on that same theme in a 2000 speech, she defined judicial attention to "policy" in terms of deference to lawmakers.
Judges, she said, consider the "policy impact" of their analysis and holdings in order to avoid creating precedents that could "lead to results in other cases which cannot be squared with the language of a statute or its legislative history and purpose."Continue reading the main story

Anfield Bicycle Club
Welcome to Anfield Bicycle Club homepage, who are an affiliated group of CyclingUK.
About The Group
The Anfield Bicycle Club was formed in 1879 in the Anfield district of Liverpool. The "Anfield" has an important place in cycling history. Our riders helped shape competitive long distance cycling and time-trialling. Outstanding Anfielders included prolific record breaker George Pilkington Mills, who won the first Bordeaux - Paris race in 1891. His exploits helped inspire the Tour de France.
Club activities include Saturday clubruns in West Cheshire, weekends in North Wales, and the classic Anfield 100, held annually each Spring Bank Holiday Monday on Shropshire roads.
In 1906 the Club introduced a newsletter The Anfield Circular. The first issue explained its purpose was to provide information about club activities and to report on items of general interest. It has been published without break ever since and continues to celebrate club-life and heritage.
For more information please go to the Anfield Bicycle Club Website.

Swing states. Indies. Persuadables. Undecideds. They're at the epicenter of your campaign strategy. But only Resonate's proprietary survey research, in-depth insights and ability to immediately target these audiences with precision and scale can provide a clear roadmap to victory.
Spotlight: Michigan
Here are some exclusive, valuable insights from Resonate that shed important light on what really moves voters in the Great Lakes State.
Michigan Fact #1: Voters care about job, education, and entitlement programs.
Michigan voters are 9% more likely than the average U.S. voter to be concerned with job creation and education policy as top platforms and 7% are concerned about entitlement policy. Immigration policy is not as much of a priority with voters being 15% less likely to focus on it.
Michigan Fact #2: The vast majority of voters are supportive or persuadable of decriminalizing recreational marijuana use.
The vast majority of voters are supportive of or persuadable on decriminalizing recreational marijuana use. 40% of Michigan voters support the legalization of marijuana for general recreational use, while just 26% oppose it. The remaining 34% consider themselves persuadable.
Michigan Fact #3: LGBT rights are important to voters.
Michigan voters are 6% more likely than the average U.S. voter to be involved with LGBT issues. More people are engaged in LGBT issues than are engaged in gun control, human rights, or civil liberties.
Michigan Fact #4: Domestic and environmental threats are greatest concern to voters.
While Michigan voters are 2% less likely than the average U.S. voter to view terrorist groups as the biggest threat to the U.S, a large percentage of people in Michigan view domestic threats such as the economy (20%) and environmental threats such as climate change (17%) as large concerns.
Pro Tip: When developing state-level message and targeting strategy, be mindful of geo differences, down to the Congressional district level.
For example, while the statewide population of Michigan is more likely to consider environmental threats a great concern to the USA, congressional districts 1, 2, 6, 10, and 11 are actually less likely to view environmental threats as a great concern.
Resonate data like the examples above can be quickly activated for digital media targeting and informing both online and offline creative strategy. Targeting voters based on values and the issues they care most passionately drive the most efficient and impactful mobilization.
All data is based on Resonate's survey of 3,631 Michigan Voters, April 2016

It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Valve to fix your automobile. Car aficionados know that good looks is built into each Chrysler, and know that only the best repair Town & Country parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles in today's marketplace. When your Chrysler Town & Country rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes long-lasting quality in their automobile.
Emissions reduction technology has improved drastically over the last 50 years, and it has also been responsible for advancements in fuel efficiency. The vapor canister purge solenoid is one part on your Chrysler Town & Country that does both jobs. It is typically mounted on top of your gas tank, and the Chrysler Town & Country vapor canister purge solenoid redirects excess fuel vapors from the tank to your intake so it can be burnt when you start the engine. If a burst of pressure or fuel vapor gets released when you open your gas cap, then the vapor canister purge valve may have failed.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy.

Are you planning a holiday donation drive? A well-run donation drive makes for a great way for businesses to help people in the community and gain a reputation for community service. Find out how to make yours a success with these seven easy tips:
1. Find out what items are needed most. Call your local donation centers to see what they need, and which items they already have in surplus. You'll be able to make a larger impact benefiting your community this way.
2. Keep your employees in mind and consider the costs of items needed. Collecting more expensive items can make employees who make less money or have less ability to give feel excluded.
3. Establish your logistics ahead of time. Where will the collection bins be placed? They'll need to be visible, easily accessible, clearly marked and preferably in a high traffic area. Once you have the items, how are you going to transport them? Some collection centers may be able to pick up items, while others may need you to deliver them.
4. Make sure you promote the donation drive. Provide enough notice through your standard communication channels, a week is good, but a few weeks might be better. After you've started let your donation bins do your promotional work for you. They should be clearly marked and visible.
If the deadline is approaching and participation is low, a company-wide reminder email or announcement may be in order. Procrastination is common, and if employees aren't warned that they're almost out of time, they may miss their window of opportunity.
5. Don't single out employees based on their level of participation. Not every employee will choose to participate. That's okay.
6. Use this is a chance to build camaraderie among your employees. Create a collective goal for everyone, give them plenty of encouragement along the way and afterwards let them know how well they did. Create competitions among teams or departments to build a shared sense of accomplishment.
7. Don't forget to say thank you! Thank everyone who donated or otherwise participated in the drive. People like to be recognized for what they've done, even if recognition wasn't why they participated. Afterwards be sure to share any feedback you receive from the donation center or others in the community.

Website Hosting
- Category: Website Hosting
- Hits: 2856
Web hosting has become a commodity and prices have fallen to reflect this over provided resource. First lets bound what we mean by web hosting in the context of the average small business. A website needs a unique way of being found and a place to store the website site information. The URL or domain name identifies the sites location rather like a telephone number identifies an individual phone. In the internet world this URL is hosted by a Domain Name Registrar, an accredited organization who informs the whole web how to find your website. The website content is stored or hosted on a server which has a complicated address shared with the Domain Name Register. In order to host a website these two parts are required and need to be correctly configured. These same rules also control how e-mails are routed.
Many web hosting services provide a bundle for the Domain Name, Server Hosting and e-mail. This simplifies management but can cost a little more. In contrast many web developers offer to provide a complete solution by bundling hosting into their site development. Beware of this approach because the person who obtains and registers the URL own it. Do not let your website developer register your URL because you may find they have control over your web business and may frustrate you trying to move to another developer.
We recommend customers register their website name themselves and so keep control of this vital business identity.
