Signs and Dinosaurs
Come to think of it, there's a connection between dinosaurs and McDonald's signs, because this entire mad enterprise will be extinct one day. A hundred years from now it will all have passed forever from the earth—McDonald's, Walmart, and Dunkin Donuts—and we'll be nostalgic for it.
People in 2107 will look at the paintings surviving from our times and try to reconstruct what life was really like for us. They'll see lots of barns and fishing villages but not too many parking lots and overpasses.
4 comments:
Walmart shall never die
But seriously, most of us have probably never really considered that most people paint the beautiful and harmonious, while we avoid the bad and the ugly(i.e. our present urban surroundings).
In the same way, we admire the ancient Greeks and Romans and try to duplicate their thinking processes. But if we reflect on history, we see that those processes (and those who adherred to them) led to unimaginable depravity of the human mind (i.e. gladiator fights, woman/child mutilation, human sacrifice, etc.)
We must never get caught up with only painting the good that we forget the bad. But certainly at humanity's present stage we won't forget it, at least for right now(just watch the evening news).
That's why so many of us are attracted to the Dinotopian paintings. It awakens something fresh and new within our hearts.

Tips for Outdoor Lighting
- 2015-04-14 17:03:35
- Guiding Principle
- The best outdoor lights are those that cannot be seen - highlighting an architectural element, an ornamental tree, a pathway, a waterfall, or a landscape artifact without calling attention to themselves.
- Doors
- Position light fixtures near a door so they do NOT shine in the eyes of someone entering or leaving.
- Fixture Balance
- Balance and a little restraint are very important. Everything doesn't have to be symmetrical but the number and the intensity of light fixtures should be relatively balanced. Even though you may have one interesting landscape feature, a single light by itself can be very distracting. Do NOT place too many path lights in a straight line; it will resemble an airport runway. Do NOT try to light everything; it will begin to look like a "carnival."
- Fixture Quality
- Buy high quality, heavy duty, outdoor light fixtures you can afford. These fixtures will last longer, perform better, and provide the lighting effects that will truly enhance your outdoor setting.
- Fixture Spacing
- Be aware of spacing. If you have several interesting features close together, do NOT try to light them all.
- Future Lighting
- Plan for future lighting. If you will be adding paths or steps to a landscape, install 2-inch plastic conduit underneath so wiring can be added later.
- General Illumination
- Lights placed high on the house can gently illuminate an entire yard for parties. But such lights also can create a glare for guests looking back at the house from the yard.
- Grazing
- Sometimes angle the light so it just grazes a wall, an evergreen, or a tree trunk, highlighting its texture.
- Safety
- Place lighting under railings, benches, and stairs to increase safety. Lights sometimes can perform double duty; for instance, an uplight on a tree can help light a walkway as well.
- Silhouettes
- Sometimes shine a light on a wall BEHIND shrubs or a statue to silhouette them.
- Timers
- Use timers on the transformers in order to automatically turn the lights off at around 11 PM.
- Transformer
- Buy a large enough transformer to handle all of the lights you will need PLUS a couple of extras. Make sure the transformer has enough terminals to do multiple runs; you do NOT want all of your lights on one wire.
- Water
- If the water is clear, use submersible lights to dramatically illuminate a pond of water feature. If the water is not clear, uplight a tree or architectural feature nearby and it will be reflected in the still water.
- Windows
- Direct lights so that they do NOT shine in windows, especially bedroom windows.
- Wiring
- When you're finished leave all of the wiring above the ground for few nights so you can easily make changes. Use wire that is 10 or 12 gauge - NOT 14 gauge.

After a season that saw her lead Pacific in scoring and rebounding and rank among the conference leaders in both categories, Pacific guard Amy Pedersen, a seniour out Redlands, has been honored by conference coaches with selection to the All-Northwest Conference Women's Basketball Team.
It is the second straight season that Pedersen has earned all-conference accolades. She was an honorable mention selection during the 2006-07 season.
"Amy is an outstanding competitor that has helped this women's basketball program tremendously for the past four years," said Pacific Head Women's Basketball Coach Sharon Rissmiller. "To have as many double-double games as she had this season, and in her career, is a true testament to how hard she works on the court at all times.
"It has truly been a privilege to be able to coach Amy this year. She definitely deserves all-league honors as she is not only a great basketball player, but she's an outstanding student, a quality lady and a phenomenal representative of Pacific University."
Pedersen provided much of the offensive punch for the Boxers, who adjusted to a new offensive system in Rissmiller's first season. Pedersen led the Boxers with averages of 14.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. She finished the season ranked second in the league in rebounding and third in scoring.
In addition, Pedersen proved to be a presence both inside and outside. While finishing second for the Boxers with her .431 field goal percentage, Pedersen led Pacific with 1.70 three-pointers made per game and 124 three-point attempts. She finished the season with nine double-doubles, tying her with Lewis & Clark's Crystal Castle for most in the conference.
Pedersen led the Boxers in scoring on 12 different occasions and posted four efforts of 20 points per better. In the second game of the season, Pedersen went off for 27 points on 12 of 20 shooting as the Boxers feel just short in a 66-61 loss to Westminster (Utah), a nationally ranked NAIA Division I program.
Pedersen posted a career high of 29 points, also on 12 of 20 shooting from the field and a 5 of 10 effort from three-point range, in a loss to Morningside (Iowa) played on Dec. 20 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The scoring performance came just hours after Pedersen stepped off the plane from Oregon.
Throughout the season, Pedersen has excelled despite balancing a very strenuous academic schedule. She is currently finishing course work for her bachelor's degree in biology, while at the same time taking first year classes in Pacific's College of Optometry.

If you haven't seen the documentary Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God, it's an absolute must-see. Even as someone who has written about the Catholic Church and its long practice of protecting priests who abuse children, it's still shocking how far back and how deep it goes. Here's the trailer:
It's airing on HBO this month. And what it reveals backs up my longstanding argument that many top Catholic officials, including Cardinal Law and the current pope, should be in prison. Instead, they live in opulence and impunity, kept safe from justice by the protection we wrongly give to religion. Anyone outside of a church who did what they did would be in prison as, at bare minimum, accessories after the fact.

How To Make A Cute DIY Valentine
We love the opportunity to make crafty little things with all of the materials we pick up along the way, so what better time than Valentine's Day!?! Here are is a fun little card we made with some test tubes we picked up.
What You Need
obviously, this DIY can take on many forms, but for this particular iteration, we used:
embroidery floss
rubber stamps
test tube
self healing mat
metal ruler
needle threader
1. Type (or draw/collage/paint) a sweet message on the far right side of a piece of cardstock.
2. On the opposite side of the cardstock, about 1/8" from the edge of the paper, cut two horizontal slits about 1/2" apart. The slits should be exactly twice the width of the test tube that you'll be using.
3. At the halfway point of the slits you've just cut, fold the entire edge of the paper over. Using a ruler helps to get a clean fold. Then push the band of paper formed by the slits inward, to create a little holder for the test tube.
4. With the x-acto point, make two small holes just above this band.
5. Fold the front of your card over so that the edge of the card lies right next to the test tube holder. Make one small hole with the x-acto point at the edge of the paper near the other two holes.
6. On another sheet of paper (we chose a contrasting color) type a short sentence no longer than your test tube. Photos, pictures, clippings from magazines and the like all look pretty cute in a little test tube! Get creative!
7. Trim this piece of paper to just shy of the total length of and just wider than the opening of the test tube. Put this paper, message side out, inside of the test tube.
8. Using the needle threader, thread some embroidery floss through the two small holes you've created. Write your friend or sweetheart a cute message on the inside (our beloved is an Eames chair--for this tutorial, anyhow!) and then thread the floss through the single hole at the edge of the card.
9. Tie your floss in a little bow and, voila! You have a cute little valentine!
10. We took one of our "mistake" cards and trimmed it down, added a simple stitch with another color of embroidery thread and have another cute little handmade card. The possibilities are endless!
Additional Notes: We found our test tubes at Scrap, here in San Francisco, but if you're not having any luck, American Science and Surplus often has them.

I've been out of the game for a few years (in part due to certain health & fitness issues) and I've decided I'm going to slowly work my way back into it, starting with finishing a few projects I'd left in pieces back in 2006, so that I'm good to go later on this year or early next year. This being the case I'm looking for the following stuff:
Raven Primal marker - Must be in fairly good condition as I don't want to be repairing gouges out of the bodywork. It doesn't need to be boxed or anything but I would prefer it working properly. Bought from reb21o via PBN. Many Thanks.
Raven Nexion body and trigger frame.
Spyder Rodeo body and beavertail. Bought a complete & boxed one via eBay.
Intimidator 14pt wire harness.
Raven Primal VerC T-Board with eyes.
WGP Nightkast body (threaded feedneck version). Bought from tickytacky via PBN. Many Thanks.
Autococker MQ2 valve kit.
Dragun "The One" bolt alignment pin.
Zenitram LPR to Spyder FRM adapter.
15* Cocker ASA (2k onwards) + ASA screw. Two bought from hmcl281 via SOC/PBN. Many Thanks.
Ashcroft 300psi Gauges. Seven bought from hmcl281 via SOC/PBN. Many Thanks.
Ashcroft 160psi Gauges.
Evil Micro Gauges.
Raven Primal poppet & cupseal.
Raven Primal stock regulator, drop & bottomline.
Autococker ASA tool.
I'm sure I'll add on more to my list at a later date because I know I'll find that I'm missing a part somewhere or I've broken something along the way...
Payment will be via Paypal only, I'm in no major rush for everything and I'm not a multi-billionaire by any means so please offer up with as cheap a price as possible.
Thanks in advance.

many 12s came out just like this: vocal, gap, version, or with just 7" length cuts on both sides. kinda unscrupulous if you ask me.

YORK, PA – The York College volleyball team dropped a 3-0 Capital Athletic Conference decision to St. Mary's College on Thursday evening in York. The game scores were 25-18, 25-18, and 25-18. The Spartans fall to 10-8 overall and 2-2 in the CAC while the Seahawks pick up their first conference win of the year, improving to 1-3 in the league and 4-12 overall.
All three sets were almost identical as they were close early in before the Seahawks pulled away to capture the wins.
The Seahawks were paced by the duo of Cecilia Blanc and Gena Hlavinka as they both registered eight kills. Blanc notched a team-high 18 digs while she also had a service aces and two block assists. Hlavinka hit a blistering .615 for the match as she did not have an error in 13 attempts. Rachel Wilson handed out 17 assists while Dani Thorne had 15 helpers for the Seahawks. Libero Bianca Livioco contributed 12 digs for the guests.

Freshman Katie Huston added six kills to the Spartan offense. Senior setter Cortni Rentzel distributed 23 assists while she also had seven digs. Junior libero Ashley Rineman recorded a match-high 20 digs for the Spartans.
York hit just .008 for the game as they had 26 kills and 25 errors in 124 attempts. Their attack percentage in the match was a season-low for York. St. Mary's hit a robust .230 for the match as they only had 12 errors in the contest.
The Spartans are not off until Wednesday night when they travel to the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA. The match is slated for 7:00 pm at the brand new Anderson Center.

Every time the Portland Trail Blazers have lost the second game of a back-to-back this season, we have all heard on constant refrain: They are tired. We here how hard it is to play two games in two nights, often in different cities.
Last week the Blazers pummeled the hapless Charlotte Bobcats at home; the next night they went to Sacramento to play the hapless Kings, and lost.
Injuries must be taking their toll, said some. They must have looked past the Kings, said others. It's tough playing so many back-to-backs, added other excuse-mongers.
Cry me a river.
By the time the Horizon Christian Hawks finish playing Griswold Saturday night, the Horizon boys team will have played eight games in 11 days, and the girls seven.
Through the first six, the Hawk boys are 4-2, with their two losses coming at the hands of league rival Sherman and 3A Horizon Christian of Tualatin.
"The last 10 days have just been crazy," said forward Johannes Decker.
In the loss to Sherman, forward Matt Totaro suffered a high ankle sprain. He played through it the rest of the game. He got the next game off but returned to action 48 hours later. He wanted to play the next night, but coach Darrin Lingel took one look at the massively swollen ankle and told him to heal up.
Before the Horizon-Horizon game, post Jake Wells, after not looking so good for most of the day, made a bee-line for the trash can and threw up. He also tried to protest his way into the starting lineup. Lingel again wouldn't hear it.
Less than 24 hours after playing their toughest opponent of the year in Horizon of Tualatin, the Hawks were hopping on a bus at 2 p.m. Tuesday to drive to Central Christian in Prineville. That's a nearly six-hour round-trip. Not in a private comfy charter, mind you, but a school bus.
"Every time the bus would brake going down a hill we would get jostled around and our knees would bang the seats," said Hawk girls forward Katie Tolbert.
The Hawk girls have been dealing with issues of their own. Trista Hicks has a sprained wrist and bruised knee; post McKenzie Mellow twisted her knee last week. McKenna Roberts injured her knee. M'Randa Aldrich was ill. The injury list goes on. Also, the team lost two players earlier this season to off-court issues.
So when the Hawks rolled into Central Christian just before game time - stiff, sore, in pain and a few battling fevers - they could have had every excuse in the world to do what the Blazers have done on the road, play down to an inferior opponent and take a loss.
Instead, they did what good teams are supposed to do, and hammered a lowly opponent.
They got back in the bus and arrived back in Hood River at 1 a.m. Wednesday morning. Unlike the Blazers, who can go to the luxury condos or first-class hotel rooms after a late-night flight and follow that up with a trip to physical therapy with an ice bath or massage first thing into the morning, the Hawks had more important things to do. Like get back to school first thing in the morning and then go right to practice.
Their remedies are a bit simpler than those in the NBA. They don't exactly have the option of being flown to Germany on a private plane for blood platelet therapy if their knee hurts.
"We take some ibuprofen and try to get good rest," Decker said.
"We all have bottle of hand sanitizer," said Anthony later.
After losing to Sherman, the Hawks slogged through a win over South Wasco, then did the same in a win over Condon-Wheeler.
They were not their best games, but they did what good teams do - find a way to win.
One of the saving graces for the tired Hawks was that in blowing out the Tigers at Crook County Middle School Tuesday, they got to rest their starters.
"We didn't have to play a ton," forward Sam Anthony said. "But it wasn't too bad."
Plus with all the games, that means less time plowing through a tough practice.
"Of course I would rather play than practice," said a grinning Anthony.
After the Blazers' loss to Oklahoma City earlier this week, much of the talk was about how the team lacks a "closer" after the retirement of Brandon Roy.
Apparently athletes can get paid several million dollars to play basketball, but can't be paid enough to be responsible with the ball in their hands at the end of the game.
Last week against Sherman the Hawk girls were trying to hold off a Husky rally. A flagrant foul knocked the wind out of Hawks post McKenzie Mellow. With his team struggling at the free-throw line and trying to hold on, Horizon coach Stan Perkins sent Hicks, a freshman, to the line for the injured Mellow. She calmly sank both free throws then blocked the Huskies' attempt at a tying three-pointer at the other end.
One would think that if a high school freshman can make clutch plays at the end of a game, NBA millionaires could do the same.
Maybe the problem is the Blazers just are not having enough fun. Take a look at these Hawks teams, and even with the injuries, the illnesses and all the peaks and valleys and they are still smiling, and can't wait to hit the court.
Ask the Hawk girls what has helped their season be successful and the responses come bubbling up.
"Our bench has been the best, they have been loud and supportive," said M'Randa Aldrich.
"I like coming off the court and seeing a bunch of smiling faces," said Hicks.
"This has been the best team I've ever played on," said Mellow. "They are amazing."
These aren't just clichés; they all believe what they are saying.
"My freshman and sophomore years I didn't get to play much and I didn't even dress down for districts," said senior Rachel Foss as she addressed the rest of the team. "This year I do and it's because of all of you."
You don't hear sentiments like that coming from the Rose Garden, but you hear it plenty at the Hawks' nest.

NORTHBOROUGH � An undercover sting by police led to the arrest of a Providence, Rhode Island woman and her suspected pimp at a Southwest Cutoff motel Thursday night, police said.
Luis Marrero, 25, and Hope Matta, 18, both of 137 Briggs St., Apt. 1, were both arrested at the Econo Lodge Thursday at 11:43 p.m.
Officers located an advertisement made by Matta on the website Backpage.com, which features advertisements for escorts, advertising services at the Northborough motel. An investigator exchanged text messages with Matta, who told the undercover office to go to room 222 of the Econo Lodge, Detective Sgt. Brian Griffin wrote in a police report filed in Westborough District Court.
"It was at this location that Matta met the undercover investigator and agreed to perform a sex act in exchange for money," Griffin wrote.
Officers found Marrero, who told police he is Matta�s boyfriend, in the bathroom. Marrero admitted to police he knew his girlfriend was working as a prostitute and she was expecting a customer, according to the police report.
Marrero told police he benefitted from Matta�s work as she would buy him things with the money she made as a prostitute, according to the police report.
"Marrero admitted that he does benefit because of Matta�s work," Griffin wrote in the police report.
Matta is charged with sexual conduct for a fee, while Marrero is charged with deriving support from a prostitute. The pair are due back in court May 21 for a pre-trial hearing.

For many years, not having enough to eat meant that Agnes struggled to stay on her antiretroviral treatment. Thanks to food assistance from WFP, she can now take her medication more regularly, provide for her family and help others in her community.
Agnes lives in the Eastern Region of Ghana, the region with the highest rate of HIV prevalence in the country. She is a Model of Hope and Peer Educator volunteer in the regional hospital, where she encourages people to check their HIV status and provides counselling who those who test positive.
Since 2000, when Agnes found out she was HIV-positive, life has been difficult. She lost her first two children, then her husband left her and their two other children, who were also HIV-positive. At the time, knowledge about HIV in the community was limited, and no medication was available. She and her children became much sicker and weaker. Moreover, strong stigma against the disease meant that, eventually, Agnes lost most of her business in the community. With her husband gone, life became a real struggle.
Agnes and her family have received assistance over the years, but food has always been a challenge.
"For those of us taking antiretroviral drugs, our most basic need is food to eat so that we can take our medication regularly," Agnes said. "That is why we are all so grateful to WFP for the food they are providing us now."
WFP provides food to 3,000 people living with HIV and their families in Ghana. Monthly rations include the highly nutritious, fortified food Super Cereal, as well as maize, beans, vegetable oil and salt. Rations are provided when patients come to health centres to collect their medicine.
Of all the food commodities that WFP provides, Agnes is most appreciate of the salt.
"Salt is a very basic and non-expensive food item, but for those of us who are HIV-positive, we often have so little money that we cannot even buy salt," she said. "I believe that a person who gives you salt has thought about you so much that he or she is prepared to cater for your most basic need."
Thanks to WFP's food assistance, there is enough food at home for Agnes' family of seven, which comprises her husband, who returned two years ago, one step child, her own two children, and two adopted HIV-positive orphans.
Although they are grateful for the food they receive, Agnes and her peers hope that, one day, they will earn enough money to feed themselves and their families. With a full stomach, Agnes knows that her medication works better and her future is brighter.

Wednesday Recruitin' (On Thursday)
Recruiting Boards:
Latwan on the Table
Aside from MN OL Seantrel Henderson, the most notable 2010 prospect to not sign a letter of intent so far is OH S Latwan Anderson. The message boards are all abuzz with the final list of schools he's considering: USC, West Virginia, Ohio State, and... Michigan?
He doesn't currently hold a committable offer, and wouldn't get one unless he were to visit campus. Even then, it's a question of whether there is room in the class for another prospect, and whether Rich Rodriguez is willing to take a second behavioral risk after last week's Dorsey-gate.
Anderson is visiting USC soon, and we'll se if Michigan makes an effort to get him on campus. Until he takes a visit, Michigan's chance with him is holding steady at zero.
Walkons? Walkons.
Though the 2010 class is wrapped up (barring any late surprises like Anderson), news about preferred walkons is just starting to come to the forefront.
MI WR Baquer Sayed will join the Wolverines as preferred walkon, despite garnering offers from MAC schools and interest from some BCS programs. Last winter, the Detroit News profiled him, and here's a breakdown of his game from Scout.com's Allen Trieu:
"I think, as a high school receiver, Sayed could be the best in the state. [College] Prospect wise, [Jeremy] Jackson brings a little more size and Banks brings a little more explosiveness. However, I think Sayed has the best ball skills of the three."
Sayed is the crown jewel of the walkon class so far, garnering three stars from Rivals.
MI K Jeremy Ross will walk on in Ann Arbor:
Two Pioneer players also plan to walk-on college programs in the fall. Jeremy Ross, a first-team AP Division 1 kicker, at Michigan and Omari Robinson, an offensive lineman, at Grand Valley State.
Ross was a 1st-Team All-State selection as a senior. The Big House Blog recently talked to Jeremy about coming to Ann Arbor.
MI TE Dylan Esterline from Blissfield (pictured at right) will join Michigan in the fall, as either a tight end or defensive end:
"(Being a walk-on) will make me go up there with a little bit of an extra fire," said Esterline, who had 21 catches for 384 yards and four touchdowns last fall for Blissfield. "I know it's going to be a challenge. The coaches are really good with walk-ons. Coach (Rich) Rodriguez was a walk-on at West Virginia and has a place in his heart for them."
That quote also gives a pretty good indication of the importance Rich Rodriguez puts on the walkon program.
Tate Forcier's former teammate, CA LB Quintin Tucker, has been planning to walk on in Ann Arbor for quite some time now, and made it official ($, info in header) shortly after Signing Day. Like Sayed, he held some small-time offers, but chose to pay his own way in Ann Arbor instead. He played DE in high school, but has size more suited to the linebacker position. If he can get a little faster, that's probably where he'll play in Ann Arbor. Highlights:
This is definitely not a comprehensive list of preferred walkons, and we'll continue bringing updates as they become available.
This should be a somewhat-hectic update, since 2011 prospects were neglected last week due to Signing Day 2010. Things should calm down again in the next couple weeks, and the 2011 recruiting primer is coming soon.
Scout and Rivals recently released their top 150 and top 250 watchlists, respectively. When there's not such an information overload, I'll take a look at where Michigan prospects fall on the list.
OH QB Braxton Miller does not have Michigan in his top 5:
In addition to Ohio State, Alabama and Florida, Miller said he was also seriously considering Georgia and Notre Dame right now.
The Wolverines are a longshot for him, but he'll remain on the board until he starts trimming down the list. In the 2011 recruiting prospectus, I'll give a little more clarity on Michigan's needs at QB in the class.
I removed SC QB Everett Golson, who committed to North Carolina.
The Wolverines have offered MI RB Justice Hayes ($, info in header). Though he grew up a Spartans fan, the Michigan offensive system is a better fit for his skill set. It will be interesting to see how that plays out in his recruitment.
Michigan is showing interest in FL WR Sammy Watkins, from South Fort Myers high school. Other schools that have been in to see Watkins include Ohio State, USC, Florida, LSU and a number of other high-profile schools. The 6-2, 190-pounder runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash, and will be a top prospect nationally.
Michigan has offered IL WR DaVaris Daniels, the son of former NFLer Phillip Daniels.
Though he's been thought of as a Michigan lean for quite some time, MI WR DeAnthony Arnett has the Wolverines outside his top 3. USC, Notre Dame, and State lead, with the Wolverines in a group of 5 following that top group. Tom says not to read too much into it yet.
Midnight Maize, perhaps best known for their photoshop work on MGoBoard, recently interviewed AZ OL Andre Yruretagoyena (hell of a name, that), who holds a Michigan offer. Yrure… Yrureta… that guy attends Chapparal, the same school that provided Michigan with Craig Roh and Taylor Lewan last year. Greatest hits:
I'm planning on taking a visit to Michigan ASAP and Taylor said he'd be my host or whatever. I'm really looking forward to it because Michigan is my favorite school with Oregon.
Nastyness, finishes blocks, fast, technically sound, good pass blocking, strong punch, wide base. Everyone can always improve but I'd like to get a lot stronger, and faster. I didn't let up a sack this season but I'd still like to get better at pass blocking, and keeping a wider base when I run block."
Yruretagoyena (That's going to be fun to type all the time...) plans to decide after his season. Craig Roh's dad posted a little info on the Scout free board:
Talked to a chaparral parent who saw him play all last year and said he is a stud. Started playing late and the light bulb "went on" during the season. Expect great things from him....and this guy knows how to evaluate players. We should have a good shot at him with Craig and Taylor both knowing him. the Chaparral to Michigan pipeline for the top kids should be pretty strong.
Take it FWIW.
OH OL Aundrey Walker, a product of Ted Ginn Sr.'s Glenville program, now holds an offer from the Wolverines. As per usual, it will be tough to break the scarlet fence around that high school.
Rivals is high on MI OL Anthony Zettel after he impressed at the BadgerSports Lineman Challenge. They also mention that the Wolverines are the team to beat for Anthony. Check out the link for a breakdown of his performance; Zettel is in Rivals's initial 250 watch list.
FL DT Tim Jernigan (pictured at right) is among the top prospects nationally, and though he's almost certainly ticketed for Gainesville, Michigan is in his top 5:
Michigan — "I met some of the coaches. It seems like a pretty good program. It's a place I'd like to look into more."
It sounds like he wants to visit, and anytime the coaches can get a kid on campus, there's a chance. The monstrous defensive line haul the Gators brought in last year might help challengers with Jernugan, as well.
Michigan (and Boston College and Nebraska) offered OH DT Kevin Williams from Toledo:
"I'm very interested in all three," Williams said. "I'm also interested in Notre Dame, Florida State and Ohio State. At this time I really don't have a favorite. All the schools are great."
MGoBlog's own TomVH interviewed Williams, who will make an early decision, and is currently high on the Wolverines. Check out the interview for all the details.
According to MGoBlog's own TomVH, Michigan leads for OH DE Robert Mincey, even though he hasn't received an offer yet.
Michigan offered MI DE Brennen Beyer. This is sort of old news, but I've been focusing on the 2010 class over the past couple weeks, so it hasn't found its way into a recruiting update yet. Beyer is expected at Michigan's junior day on the 20th, and may make an early decision.
TX DE Nathan Hughes is also holding an offer from the Wolverines, though he'll be a tough pull. Texas is expected to offer this weekend, which could result in a commitment. Hughes does come from the same high school as Terrence Robinson and Mark Ortmann.
Rich Rodriguez traveled to Springfield High School a couple weeks ago to drop in on OH LB Trey DePriest:
The business of football recruiting — and don't be fooled, this is a business — is in full swing, and high-profile college coaches from across the country wanted to make sure Trey DePriest knew they were in town.
Trey is a huge priority in the class of 2011, and I believe he's planning to attend the next Michigan junior day (more on that as the February 20th date approaches). A little additional fluffy stuff and a troubling development in his recruitment from the same article:
DePriest is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior linebacker with terrific football instincts, natural speed and strength and a handshake that rivals the strongest grip. He's 16 years old and he bench-pressed 185 pounds 28 times at a recent combine.
That's not all these colleges see, though. His grades are good, and he's kept a level head throughout this process. He's visiting Alabama this weekend with assistant coach John Cupps.
That was a couple weekends ago.
When Michigan dropped in to Boyd Anderson High School before Signing Day, they were looking not only at Demar Dorsey, but also his 2011 teammate, FL LB Kent Turene. I've added him to the recruiting board, and you can check out his film from SoFlaFootball at the link. Tom has an interview with Turene coming up today.
Though Tyler Moore holds a Michigan offer, he has committed to Nebraska, where his father played (and where he'll enroll early). However, that hasn't stopped Michigan from showing interest in his teammate, FL S Alex Dixon.
The headlines make it pretty obvious, but Michigan is at or near the top of the list for two Ohio prospects. OL Brandon Jackson "has Michigan high," and Michigan might lead for ATH Rico Butler, given that headlines asking questions on recruiting sites are almost always answered with "yes." Both articles are $, but the money shots are in the titles.
TN QB/slot/DB/ATH Jabriel Washington holds a Michigan offer, according to Tom. No word on what position Michigan's coaches would like to see him play, but his film is impressive on both sides of the ball:
I don't even know where to put the kid on the recruiting board for now. I guess QB, until we get further clarity where the coaches want him.

New York Giants 2013 NFL Draft Review
1 (19) - Justin Pugh, OL, Syracuse; 2 (49) - Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State; 3 (81) - Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M; 4 (110) - Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse; 5 (152) - Cooper Taylor, S, Richmond; 7 (225) - Eric Herman, OG, Ohio; 7 (253) - Michael Cox, RB, UMass
Top Picks Analysis: General manager Jerry Reese and head coach Tom Coughlin have been together for a decade and have an excellent working relationship that has resulted in a lot of success. That said, the Giants reached for Pugh with the 19th overall pick. The former Syracuse star is a versatile player who they will want to play tackle, something his frame just isn't cut out for. Hankins was a much better fit in the second round as a natural run-stuffer. He'll need to control his weight, however. Moore was once thought of as a first-round talent early in the process but wasn't quite the athlete most thought when he starting testing.
Best Value Pick: When the Giants were winning Super Bowls, it was usually because of Eli Manning along with their pass rush. New York needs to replenish the rush after a down season. Osi Umenyiora is now in Atlanta, Justin Tuck has seen his better days and Jason Pierre-Paul was closer to ordinary than J.J. Watt a season ago. Getting a pass rusher with upside like Moore in the third round is solid stuff.
Questionable Calls: Most teams need backup quarterbacks but Eli Manning hasn't missed a snap in forever so Nassib is not likely to be utilized any time soon.
Summary: There were some solid situational picks after Pugh, who will probably settle in as a solid guard only after failing outside. Hankins is a much- needed, run-stuffing interior player, and Moore will provide more juice than the descending Umenyiora did in 2012. Also watch out for Taylor. He's raw but huge for a safety with the speed to turn into something if he picks up the mental aspect.
Undrafted rookie free agent signings: LSU TE Chase Clement; Ohio State LB Etienne Sabino; Virginia Tech S Alonzo Tweedy

Earth Day: A Reflection
- Posts
Sometimes when I don't have anything to do, I usually take my time to daydream. I would picture how the world will look like. And in my daydream, the world just can't get any worse.
The environment is getting worse. Especially in poor countries. The poor gets poorer while the rich are torn between getting poorer or richer. The price will absolutely go up, high. Some places lose their beauty. Some places will not have any access to clean water anymore. The scarcity of water and poverty then will bring those countries into riots. Wars are going to be declared. The word "PEACE" is going to exist only in dictionaries. Animals and plants are getting extinct. Soon, there will be nothing left on this earth.
There is a song called "We Are The World". And if you truly feel that you belong in the world, why don't you start making changes? Do you often throw away small garbage everywhere you like? Imagine there are thousands of people like you. Imagine how much garbage you throw each day. Do you often forget to turn off your lights or television? Imagine how much electricity you could have saved in a year. Do you prefer driving than walking on a short distance? Imagine the fuel you could have saved in a year. Do you hunt extinct animals and cut down trees? Imagine someday the trees are getting scarce and there will be insufficient oxygen supply for you.
You see, posting "Happy Earth Day" each year will not help the earth. There has to be actions. A self-realization that you belong to this earth and that the earth is getting worse. Think about the future. Think about what you wish to see in the future for our earth.
We do not have much time. Every day counts.

U.S. Soccer invited 64 elite players from across the country to participate in the National Combine, designed to build the U-18 Men's National Team pool.
Two current Earthquakes academy players were in the mix, including goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski from Alamo, Calif. and forward Amir Bashti from Cupertino, Calif. Marcinkowski, the Quakes U-16 Academy keeper, recently competed with the squad abroad in the Caspian Cup. Bashti, a midfielder also on the Quakes' U-16 Academy team, has been ranked nationally by Topdrawersoccer.com and led the team to the playoffs earlier this Summer.
The two will travel to Portland for this year's National Combine at Nike's World Headquarters. This five day camp, running from Aug. 9-13, brings the country's elite 15 to 17 year old players together. The combine is an opportunity for the nation's top palyers to be evaluated by National Team staff and scouts from across the country.

Filled with the spirit of gratitude for all that I have in my own life, I approached this installation by artist Rowan Gillespie. As the world passes by, with people going about their daily business, it can be easy to forget how so many Irish struggled just to survive, and the fact that so many of them did not. In the midst of morning traffic, a strange sort of quiet descended on this small part of the Custom House Quay where the figures stand, in memory of all those Irish who lost their lives to the Great Famine, An Gorta Mór, of 1845-1852, and I realized the loss is an unfathomable one.
The Irish Quarterly Review of 1854 offered the following commentary on the great number of starving Irish walking along the Liffey to board the famine ships at the quays:
"A procession fraught with most striking and most melancholy interest, wending its painful and mournful way along the whole line of the river to where the beautiful pile of the Custom house is indistinguishable in the far distance."

If you're a gamer on a budget looking for a new video card, you'll want to check out the new card that AMD has unveiled today. The new card is called HD 7770 GHz edition and is the first video card in the world to ship with a 1 GHz clock speed on the reference design. There are other video cards out there running at 1 GHz, but those are overclocked cards from partners.
The video card has at least 1 GB of RAM is built on the 28nm process. The video card supports the PCI Express 3.0 slot and has several other important AMD features such as AMD ZeroCore Power, PowerTune, AMD Eyefinity 2.0 and AMD App technologies.
The best thing to be said about the new video card is that some models will start at $159. You can count on seeing some that sell for less than that price and some selling for more when they're overclocked out-of-the-box. This should be a pretty interesting video card for budget gamers.Filed Under: Hardware

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Yale fencers wrapped up the second half of Ivy competition today with two wins against Cornell and Brown. The Bulldogs won both of those match-ups by scores of 17-10. The two wins leave Yale 2-4 in the Ivy League for a fifth place finish identical to last year's.
"We went into this weekend determined to fight for our spot in the Ivy League and came out extremely successful," said captain Rebecca Moss.
Against Cornell at the 2009 Championships Yale managed to take a narrow 14-13 victory. This year the Bulldogs improved their margin, winning by a score of 17-10. The Bulldogs won all three weapons, also an improvement on last year's performance. Yale won sabre 6-3, foil 5-4 and epee 6-3. Full scores can be found here. Senior Jennifer Ivers started off the match with a 5-0 victory. Fellow saberist Katherine Arden has the eight highest record of the day for all the sabre fencers from all seven schools.
The Bulldogs also defeated Brown by a score of 17-10, just off last year's 18-9 decision. Yale won both sabre and epee 7-2 but dropped foil to Brown, 6-3. Full scores of Yale's bouts against Brown can be found here. Against Brown, Katharine Pitt went 3-0 which propelled the foil squad to victory.
"Overall it was a great finish to our season," noted Moss. "We did an amazing job cheering on our teammates and supporting each other on and off the strip."
The Bulldogs next head to NCAA Northeast Regionals. The competition takes place on Mar. 14 and will be hosted by Brown in Providence, R.I.
