Last Days Of Disco
9/8/2012 – Michigan 31, Air Force 25 – 1-1
It's been a long time since the first game of Michigan's football season wasn't at home. It was 1998. Michigan headed to South Bend to get annihilated by Autry Denson and the option in the opening game of their title defense. The box score lo these many years later is horrific:
Michigan Notre Dame First downs 24 19 Rushed-yards 38-150 55-280 Passing yards 322 96 Sacked-yards lost 3-29 0-0 Return yards 6 14 Passes 28-44-0 4-10-1 Punts 2-31.0 2-44.0 Penalties-yards 4-30 5-32 Time of possession 29:46 30:14
Michigan led 13-9 before four straight ND touchdowns turned it into a laugher. Michigan got blown out despite outgaining the opponent by 100 yards and allowing the opposition to complete all of four passes. They fumbled all of the balls. They stopped none of the options. That game was 36-13 before Michigan tacked on a cosmetic touchdown at the end.
This was the Michigan-ND rivalry in the 90s. If all you know about it is 38-0, "oh, wide open," and Michigan ripping Irish hearts out in the last 30 seconds, you are fortunate. I know better because I was in college then.
The next week I sat, despondent, in the student section as a group of resilient (and probably drunk) guys in front of me chanted "Cross is Boss" in the waning minutes of Michigan making a blowout loss to Donovan McNabb and Syracuse look pretty on the scoreboard. Donovan McNabb was in college once. I said it was a long time ago.
Walter Cross went over 100 yards that day, all of it racked up long after the game had been decided. Syracuse, too, had murdered us with the option.
Saturday started strangely blank. I wrote this thing two years ago about the opening of football season that I already kind of wrote back when far fewer people were reading this blog and have to force myself not to write again every Friday before Michigan starts playing football again:
I can say that most of the time I like that I find football important. It gives life a rhythm. I think my favorite part happens on the first day of the new year, when I file into the stadium an hour early. It's still mostly empty then. You can spread out in the sun. In my mental picture of this my seats are high up in the corner so I can take in the whole vast breadth of the stadium. Perched there, looking down and across, the future stretches out across the horizon. Anything seems possible, and the wait is over.
I hadn't felt a lack of possibilities since 1998, when Michigan was not going to repeat as national champions even before Donovan McNabb showed up. I went in at the usual time and sat in the usual spot and felt… not that. It turns out getting hammered 41-14 in your opening game restricts dreams of future glories quite a bit. It's like having New Year's Day on the eighth, a week after you found out you're not getting a promotion. You found this out because your boss stapled it to a bobcat he mailed to you. The stitches still itch.
So when the band rolled out, it was weird. I did the thing with the clapping and the raising of the fist. The voice in the head that has been going ermagerd fortbaw ermagerddddd the last 13 years was not there. Alabama had taken it, ripped its pigtails out, stomped on it, and returned it to me. They said "what?" confrontationally. They asked if I was going to do anything about it. I said "no, sir." It sat in the corner, petting itself, maybe whispering ermagerd fortbaw, maybe not. It was hard to make out.
Two plays later, Denard Robinson ripped through the line, cut directly towards me, and was one on one with a safety with an angle. An angle and no chance in hell. Turbo was engaged, and Denard shot into space with the same breathtaking speed he showed after fumbling a his first snap against Western Michigan.
ermagerd ermagerd ermagerddddddd
On the first play of the second half, Denard ran 50 yards in one shoe, making a cut on his sock.
Cross (@ right via MDS) was a freshman that year. He must have thought a hundred yards in his second college game was a hell of a start. Must have thought he would be watching other guys take the meaningless carries pretty soon. But Cross never cracked a hundred yards again. He'd only match the ten carries he had against the Orangemen three more times. Once a year Michigan would blow the doors off the worst team in the Big Ten; Cross would dust himself off to pick up 40 or 50 yards as the stadium emptied and walk-ons made their moms proud.
I liked him, though. I remembered Cross Is Boss whenever he'd hit the field, and how those deranged guys in front of me were taking whatever they could from the game in front of them. If the only thing it offered was an opportunity to ironically root for some guy to rack up more meaningless yards than had ever been gained by a guy in a winged helmet, that's what they were going to do. I was still sitting on those seats as Michigan fell to 0-2, but I was less despondent. Cross was boss. If those guys could be okay with life, I could maybe be too.
So, yeah, Michigan's definitively not elite. The defense got torn up by a triple option team, and the offense got stoned against Alabama, and I guess I'll be okay with that, because if some dudes in 1998 can carve some fandom out of Walter Cross, how can you not be excited about Denard Robinson's final games in Michigan Stadium?
Fortbaw. Let's get it.

Eric's photoset:
Things That Still Aren't Bullets
BRADY HOKE EPIC DOUBLE POINT OF THE WEEK. Denard, obviously. More total yardage than your team gets is an auto-win.
Honorable mention: Funchess, Gardner, Joe Bolden, James Ross, Jake Ryan(?).
1: Denard Robinson (Air Force), Jeremy Gallon (retroactively awarded for Alabama game).
Welcome, freshmen. Not really. Hey, remember when this was finally the year when Michigan didn't rely on freshmen all over the place? Yeah… nyet. Michigan rolled out not one but two true freshman ILBs (James Ross and Joe Bolden) on Air Force's penultimate drive—the last one they actually used their offense on. Hoke would later say Bolden played so much because Colerain, his high school, ran the option, but even so… man.
Meanwhile, Ondre Pipkins, Mario Ojemudia, and Keith Heitzman (a redshirt freshman) saw plenty of time on the defensive line and Jarrod Wilson was the guy who came in when Michigan went to nickel. You make shake your fist at Rodriguez's last couple of recruiting classes now.
It wasn't that bad on offense, where the only freshmen to get a lot of playing time were AJ Williams and Devin Funchess. The former is like okay, we'll deal, and the latter was going to play early on damn near any team in the country.
Speaking of…
not having shoes is the coolest now (Upchurch)
FUNCHESS. I try not to get all I told you so because I have occasionally not been right about things—like those three solid years when I thought Rodriguez was going to work out—but dang I told you so. Not that this is any great scouting feat on my part. Pretty much everyone who went to that open practice and saw a 6'5" guy with freaky long arms getting sent deep on wheel routes thought "holy crap" to himself and wrote about it on the internet.
I'm not sure if it was wheel one, wheel two, or not-a-waggle deep bomb that was the turning point, but by the time it was over Funchess had 106 yards receiving and was the first guy out of everyone's mouths in the postgame. It doesn't take a keen eye to think that guy has potential.
In Funchess we saw the beginnings of Michigan's Swiss Army Offense. They lined him up as an H-back and sent him on a wheel against a linebacker, who had no chance because he was too slow. They sent him deep against a safety, who had no chance because he was too small. That's the stuff Borges has spent years doing instead of figuring out how to tweak a read option, and in Funchess we saw the future.
Also the present.
…and introducing Chasing Jim Mandich. Is this too early? No. For one, I'd rather put up pictures of Bo and Mandich 20 times than, like, four. For two, it's the internet. This is how we do. Suck it, guy on twitter who told me to calm down and that it was just one game. WOO!
Jim Mandich is Michigan's all-time tight end receiving yardage leader with 1494 yards. After posting Michigan's first 100-yard receiving day by a tight end since Jerame Tuman did it in 1997, Devin Funchess has 106 yards receiving and needs 1389 to pass Mandich. At his current pace he needs just over 26 more games to do so.
That was the best thing, now the worst thing. Fitzgerald Toussaint: eight carries, seven yards. Commence offensive line panic. Do not hold any in reserve. If you end up in a cornfield wearing nothing but a traffic cone holding a sign that says "AIR FORCE DEFENSIVE LINEMEN ARE 260 POUNDS," this is about right, give or take a jockstrap.
I don't know, man. Live I didn't see anything Toussaint could have done except collapse in a pile of bodies. When Carl Grapentine forgot to turn off his mic and told the stadium "they can't do anything with that" after Michigan set another down on fire by running from under center, he was only telling everyone in the stadium what they were already thinking. Most of those plays went right, we're already nervous about Schofield… conclusion… yeah.
NORFLEET. hey drew dileo what's up you're all catching this ball wrong yoinkkkkkkk now I'm going to run over here bad idea getting tackled bouncing back not getting tackled running back over here different way different direction funnnnnnnnn I am the NORFLEEET zip that was like two guys oops here's like three guys awwwwww now I'm on the ground oh drew dileo you look sad let me apologize I am the NORFLEET this kind of thing just happens sometimes go with the flowwwwwwwwwwww
Denard accuracy. Seemed pretty good, right? The interception was zinged too hard—I'll give him a pass on the "high" bit because Vincent Smith—and the third down Gardner catch-that-wasn't was short. But those are MAs in UFR jargon, and if you put college football in your head all Saturday you'll see plenty of quarterbacks make similar errors. The only throws into coverage were a couple at the end of the half when you may as well force it.
I've seen some complaints about Denard not seeing open guys. I'll check for that as far as is possible given the tape, but if the costs of the Borges transition are an inability to make tiny run game adjustments the payoff tentatively appears to be an ability to put the ball where Denard wants it to be, most of the time.
It helps when you're throwing to Funchess and Gardner, too. The Funchess touchdown was short, but given the target that's what you want to do. As long as that guy is jumping for the ball it doesn't matter that you made him slow up, because he's winning that battle every time.
Crazy enough to work? Air Force's combination of triple option with Oregon's tempo and a pro-style-esque formation blizzard was fun to watch in the same way Nebraska's double pitch was last year… except it was far less fun because instead of one seemingly indefensible play it was dozens of probably defensible ones that weren't.
Q: think that could work at a major college level? Georgia Tech is doing it in the ACC, yes, but I think the option + jet tempo combo would be absolute hell to play against if the guys getting the ball were Denards and Norfleets instead of 5'7" academy guys. It was kind of hell to play against even against guys who are going pro in blowing things up. You're getting gashed, you have to substitute to keep guys fresh, you are freaking out and guaranteed to let some guy run free for a 70-yard score…
worst waldo. Upchurch
…unless he bobbles the ball and falls over.
Maybe it wouldn't work against Alabama but pair that Air Force offense, personnel and all, with a quality defense and you're winning nine games in the Big Ten. Falcon total offense against BCS-ish foes the last three years:
- 2012 Michigan: 417
- 2010 Oklahoma: 458
- 2010 Utah: 411
- 2010 GT: 287 (in a 14-7 win)
So unless you also run a flexbone triple option or are the 13-0 2010 TCU team that finished first in total and scoring defense and won the Rose Bowl by holding Wisconsin to 19 points (on 385 yards, FWIW), Air Force is going up and down the field on you.
You'd need a lot of breathing room to get that up and going, granted. Troy Calhoun just tweaked the thing Fisher DeBerry had been doing for decades. Implementing it from scratch would be painful at first, but if you're an Illinois or Minnesota or Rutgers or Cal, it might be worth a shot. I'd loathe it if Minnesota gradually became Air Force++ and Michigan had to deal with it annually. Therefore someone should try it.
Calhoun's just 46. If someone can pry him away from his alma mater, I promise to praise that coaching hire up and down. He even releases his Coaches' Poll ballot weekly.
Does that make you feel better? Those ND/TCU/Oklahoma numbers are just like ours. ND finished last year 30th in total D, 18th FEI. TCU was 32nd, 42nd FEI (schedule issues). Oklahoma was 53rd, but a shocking 4th(!) in FEI.
FEI has Air Force's offense 33rd and 32nd in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Last year's mark was better than Georgia, VT, Michigan State, Iowa, Auburn, and Florida State. With guys who are going pro in going Mach 3. This just happens when you sign Air Force up, even when you don't do it the week after playing Alabama.
"No, not really" -you. I hear you. All the rotation and getting zero out of the defensive line and freshmen and etc. What if I bring up last year's game #2 against Eastern Michigan?
We had all of those happen on Saturday. Nowadays "non-Martin" DTs are all of them, so expand that slice of the pie. The coaches worked some things out. They've got a virtual bye next week against UMass, so they'll have two weeks to prep for Notre Dame—this time State takes the bullet and we get the rebound.
I'm hoping we see some progress against the Irish, who couldn't run at all against Purdue and got Everett Golson sacked five times. Yeah, no Cierre Wood, but Purdue's rush defense was appalling last year.
It doesn't look good but hold out a couple weeks before hitting the panic button.
Also, Alabama couldn't run on WKU. LA LA LA NOT LISTENING
Marmot, city. I've heard from a number of people that Air Force mistimed a lot of their plays and ended up having Arena-style guys running at the line of scrimmage before several plays. Here's TTB:
The officials were terrible. Terrible. Air Force's first touchdown should have been called back for illegal procedure. Quarterback Connor Dietz tossed to A-back Cody Getz, who beat everyone to the edge. In the meantime, the wing started moving forward prior to the snap like he was in the CFL and chopped down safety Jordan Kovacs, who was responsible for the pitch. Without that forward momentum, Kovacs - Michigan's best open-field tackler - very well could have stopped Getz before the goal line. Later in the game, Air Force converted on a key third down when both the quarterback and the running back - who were in a shotgun formation - started moving to their right before the ball was snapped . . . and a slot receiver was already in motion. So three guys were moving prior to the snap, and the play was allowed to stand. Those were obvious, blatant non-calls and each one could have had a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
It was hard to tell if that was the case from my vantage point, but the refs did miss a really blatant illegal motion on an AF third and long conversion late. They had a guy moving, and the tailback took off before the snap, and no one noticed. I know they're military, but this is not 'Nam. There are rules.
Adventures in Special K. One: no "In The Big House." That is also two through six hundred. NO POP EVIL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!atatatat.percentsign.asterisk.
Given how much they ran that into the ground last year, that's either a sign of that thing's merciful departure from our world or Special K's greatest ever troll. I wouldn't put it past him, the scourge.
Instead, Special K put on that Flo Rida song that is not at all about blowjobs, wink wink nudge nudge:
Is that the kind of thing we want to be exposing the youth to? The guy is seen using a Windows phone in that video.
Injuries. Brennen Beyer has a "knee strain" according to Hoke, which means he has anything from a fairy tickling his patella to a Turkmeni flaming crater where his knee used to be. Other than that, Michigan didn't get it too hard from all the cut blocks. Ash's issue seems like a one-week thing, and no one else is publicly injured.
Helmet numbers. I don't miss them.
Paging 2011 Jeremy Gallon. 2010 Jeremy Gallon has started returning punts again. Please report to the maize and blue courtesy phone.
Number stuff. The first Kovacs bullet has been dodged, and I think if they were going to give him someone else's number they would have done it right away. They probably aren't changing a senior captain's number in their second or third opportunity to do so. So, hurrah. Ryan's as good a choice as any, but I was hoping they'd put it on a receiver since Oosterbaan was famous for catching Bennie Friedman's passes and 47 is a distinctive number for a wideout.
Ron Kramer's 87 is next. Hopefully that ends up on a tight end. I'm rooting for Not Funchess because 19 is not a number I have strong associations with yet.
Air Force didn't turn the ball over, but they only went 2 for 5 on fourth down. They missed a field goal, and were stopped on a fake field goal. That's six points. That's the margin of victory. Ugh.
Michigan missed chances to get off the field, giving up frustrating first downs on third and medium-to-long time and again. Brady Hoke missed a great chance at points to end the first half with some terrible clock management, ending up with a TO in his pocket. With Michigan up 14-3, Vincent Smith missed a chance to extend Michigan's drive and possibly their lead by tipping an accurate third-down pass from Denard up for an easy interception; Air Force would score a TD and keep it close for the rest of the game.
Photos and such. Galleries from Maize and Blue Nation…
Media with the main and the stream and the Theo. Funchess named freshman of the week, Denard offensive player of the week by Big Ten. Denard Robinson had more total offense than Michigan did. Michigan up to 17th in the AP. Devin Gardner's still a quarterback in his mind. Give it four more games. Also the media refuses to call people by their last names. That's what they're for! They're names!
Michigan struggled early against Western Michigan and especially Notre Dame, and wasn't exactly pretty against Eastern Michigan. But it improved.
It shut down San Diego State the following week, then shut out Minnesota the one after that, and the Wolverines were in business.
The key to that success was simply getting better every week, especially on the defensive line, and Hoke sees the same thing happening this year.
"I would say there's a uniqueness to the offense, and the schemes -- but at the same time, we're a work in progress," Hoke said. "Quinton Washington is getting better every time he plays. Ondre Pipkins is getting better every time he plays. Keith Heitzman ... Mario Ojemudia ... Frank Clark, having him back.
"We're a work in progress."
Meinke also gives Toussaint a D+, which come on man that guy could have been Barry Sanders and gotten 15 yards on those attempts. BOO THIS MAN. Also, this may be a typo or it may be that DENNIS NORFLEET IS TOO FAST FOR VERBS
Dennis Norfleet is who we that he was
So there's your answer, Michigan fans.
Denard Robinson still is Denard Robinson. And so are the Wolverines.
On days like this, that'll be enough. Just barely enough, maybe, but Robinson, with a little help from his friends, did manage to beat Air Force, 31-25, before a crowd of 112,522 in the home opener at Michigan Stadium.
A week after getting thumped by top-ranked Alabama (then No. 2), the Wolverines needed a late fourth-quarter stop Saturday to avert an even bigger disaster. And they needed every bit of Robinson's dual-threat ability, as the senior quarterback actually managed to account for 101 percent of Michigan's offense.
With 208 passing yards, Robinson is now just 12 yards behind ex-Michigan great Tom Brady for sixth on the school's all-time passing yardage list. Brady had 5,351 career passing yards as a Wolverine.
Brady only started two years, but even so…
Larry Lage gets in another holy crap:
He had his fourth game with at least 200 yards rushing and trails only Mike Hart's school record by one. His 426 yards of total offense ranked fifth in school history, trailing four of his own performances.
Blogz! The flyover:
MVictors has some bullets:
The two Devins: Added to the postgame press conference hall of shame was the fiasco around the media trying to figure out how to address individual questions to Devin Gardner or Devin Funchess, as the Two Devins were trotted out to meet the press at the same time. The Wolverine's Michael Spath asked the first question and intentionally addressed the question to "Devin" as a joke, but that didn't help matters. More than a few times the players had to ask for clarification as to whom the question was addressed and it got silly. "The old one," was offered up at one point to clear up the confusion, making Gardner, who was trying to be a bit stoic, crack up. Props to WTKA's Steve Clarke who directed the final question to "Number nineteen". I was going to direct mine to "number square root of 144".
No one asked why they love bucket hats. Get with the program, media. Get with the program, Heiko.
MVictors also has helmet stickers Hoover Street Rag:
Air Force looked exactly like I would want to see a group of my nation's future military leaders look like as a football team, disciplined, focused, moving quickly, attacking the enemy's weaknesses, and fighting to the last man. They gave Michigan all they could handle and earned the respect and admiration of hopefully every Michigan fan. I had joked earlier in the week that "It's hard playing against Air Force because you can't boo freedom*", but I stand by it. Air Force, along with Army and Navy, are America's teams. Every one of those players made the choice to not only become an officer by going the Academy route. Every one of them has taken on the additional responsibility of being a football player at the Division I level, above and beyond what is asked of them. It was the same reason that I found it so hard to be angry when Air Force beat Michigan in the opening round of the NCAA Hockey Tournament in 2009. The cadets did an outstanding job and I am proud of their service to our country.
I agree with all of that save the "hard to get angry after the 2009 Air Force hockey game."

WESTFIELD, Mass. – Senior running back Marcus Price scored the game-tying touchdown in the third and final overtime and rushed for 149 yards on 37 carries as Worcester State University held on for a wild 42-40 victory over Westfield State University on Saturday, Sept. 24.
The Lancers improved to 4-0 overall after surviving a Westfield State comeback in the New England Football Conference Bogan Division opener. The Owls, who rallied from a late 24-7 first-half deficit to tie the score 24-all at the end of regulation, are 1-3 overall.
Westfield took a 40-34 lead on the first possession of the third overtime on a one-yard touchdown run by fullback Justin Karrat, who appeared caught in the backfield but spun around, bounced off several would be tacklers and scored.
Westfield had to go for the two-point conversion in the third overtime and a pass to Karrat in the end zone was batted down by PJ Robinson.
On the Lancers' first play of the third OT stanza, Price made a brilliant 25-yard touchdown scamper, weaving his way thru several defenders down the left side. Backup quarterback Corey Spencer then threw to a wide open Dana Barry in the left corner of the end zone for the game-ending two-point conversion.
After both teams booted short field goals in the first overtime, Barry put the Lancers ahead, 34-27, on the first possession of the second overtime when he out jumped Owl defensive back Erik Wellhoff in the right corner of the end zone on a straight fade pass by Spencer from 21 yards.
Westfield knotted the score in the second overtime on outstanding 12-yard touchdown pass-run play by tight end Jake Storey, who caught the ball at the six and carried three Lancers with him across the goal line.
The most sensational play in this game of thrills was a school-record 89-yard touchdown fumble return by Owl senior strong safety Ryan O'Connell that tied the score at 24-all with 2:24 remaining in regulation.
The Lancers appeared to have the game wrapped up after Spencer and Barry hooked up for a 64-yard pass play to the Westfield 14 with less than three minutes left in fourth quarter. But on the next play Westfield defensive end Chris Walker forced a Price fumble and O'Connell scooped up the ball and raced down the left sidelines, outsprinting a Lancer the final 20 yards for the stunning score.
Worcester still had an opportunity to win the game in regulation as Derek Muccini's 42-yard field goal attempt was high and long enough but just outside the left upright.
Westfield trailed 24-7 with 2:09 remaining in the first half following a 26-yard touchdown pass from starting quarterback Tony Tokarz, who playing sparingly in the second half because of an injury, to AJ Scerra.
Westfield began its comeback when Kennan Startzell booted a 26-yard field goal with 39 seconds remaining in the first half. The field goal was set up when Westfield's Anthony Ranieri delivered a vicious hit on punt returner Richie Dube, jarring the ball loose at the Lancer 13 where the Owls' Nick Granger recovered the ball.
Westfield scored the only third-quarter points midway through the period on a 1-yard plunge by Michael Mercadante that capped a 13-play, 53-yard drive. This made the score 24-17 and set the stage for O'Connell's late-game heroics.
The Lancers led 10-0 after the first quarter on a 2-yard Price TD plunge that capped an 11-play, 83-yard drive and a Muccini 31-yard field goal.
Westfield made it 10-7, scoring early in the second stanza on a one-yard TD run by Brian Beauchemin to cap a 9-play, 64-yard drive. But the Lancers scored four minutes later on Tokarz's one-yard TD to make it 17-7.
Tokarz rushed for 43 yards and completed 7 of 14 passes for 86 yards in just over one half of action Spencer completed 4 of 9 passes for 107 yards and had 32 yards on four carries, including a big first-down run of 13 yards in overtime. Scerra led the Lancer receivers with five catches for 62 yards followed by Spencer (3-91).
Westfield quarterback Tyler Dow completed 17 of 31 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown. Mercadante and Beauchemin rushed for 57 and 42 yards, respectively. Tight end Jeff Winchell had five catches for 48 yards and Kevin Parnell had four catches for 115 yards, including a brilliant 76-yard pass-run play in the second half.
Cameron Jones led the Lancers with a team-high 11 tackles, including nine solo stops. Andrew Tokarz posted nine tackles and Josh Key returned an interception 46 yards that set up Worcester's first-half field goal.
Westfield linebacker Dan Dowling recorded a game-high 12 tackles and also punted four times for a 41.0 average. Walker racked up nine tackles from his end position and had a sack and forced fumble.
Worcester State Outlasts Westfield State In Triple Overtime, 42-40

I think Avengers really spoiled us all.
When they revealed Thanos, it was like they had read all of Twigg's posts about Green lantern and countered with a talking raccoon that shoots people.
And now, geeks all across the space-time continuum are once again thinking that anything could happen. It's like a new world in geek adaptations, because suddenly, Galactus doesn't need to be an ambiguous cloud thingee. We got to see what Robin Sparkles would look like in ass-clinging battle-tights, so of course the next obvious step is a TV show that features Hellcat in a lesbian combat relationship with Moondragon and Firestar.
The Skye's the limit, guys! It won't be long before we get to see Valkyrie going to battle in her panties!
Meanwhile, Marvel's all, "But we don't have the budget for telepathic lesbians and battle-panties, guys..."
by superfictious » Thu Nov 14, 2013 2:59 pm
Fair enough, but even from a science and tech standpoint the AoS team has been so fucking awful at times. I guess you're right about us fans being spoiled. When I think of characters who use brains to deal with a superpowered world, I think of the superscientist/superheroes like Stark, Reed, etc. AoS will always be at a disadvantage because it's based on a superpower-based movieverse and it doesn't have the budget to live up to the expectations of its premise.
by Strict31 » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:40 pm
Well, we've talked about this before in the other AoS thread. The heroes of this show cannot ever outshine the heroes of the movies. If they did, the world wouldn't need superheroes to solve their problems, and they could just call their next movie "The Man Who Punches Stuff."
Fitz and Simmons, as useful to SHIELD as they may be, will never be as useful as Tony Stark or Bruce Banner. As cool as Coulson might be, he still got stabbed by Loki. In a sense, the AoS heroes are like the "other guys" in the movie Mystery Men. With less forking.
I guess I'm gonna have to go and see Thor before the next episode, in case the TV show spoils something...
by Draco x » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:43 pm
Sigh. Obvious troll is an obvious troll. You don't have any really good arguments or points so you just whine and complain and refuse to get the point of this thread.
by Draco x » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:47 pm
Yawn, another troll response. When you don't like or agree with what someone has to say you attack that person. I love how most of you can accuse Herald of being a troll but some you aren't any different. However I do credit the fact that you chose to address the points I made with your own so more power to you-If Dairy, Doombug and co had any common sense to do that, I would respect their replies more.
by Draco x » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:47 pm
That was sarcasm, buddy.
by Draco x » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:50 pm
Fair point about the media thing but let's see you try and go me better and come up with your own ideas-or are you doing what Doombug and co usually do by just complaining on this thread because you don't like my ideas?
by Strict31 » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:50 pm
The monkey makes some fair points. It might help your argument to rebut them instead of just assuming he's a troll. Which he really isn't.

by Draco x » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:51 pm
At least you have a good response, Hnutz.
by Draco x » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:52 pm
Nice idea, Cat!
by Eric Ratcliffe » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:52 pmDo I really need to explain trolling to you? No one in this thread has trolled you, maybe Rockman but barely.
You started a thread to "improve" a show you've never watched which you were even given direct links to solving that very problem.
You got called out on why that was idiotic but as usual immediately played the victim card and ignored everything everyone was saying/played it off as if you didn't understand what others were saying.
by Strict31 » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:53 pm
The word "guacamole" sounds like something that would be nasty. The name could be changed to something more pleasant, like "Monica Bellucci." That sounds tasty.
by Draco x » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:54 pm
It wouldn't matter as when Dairy, Doombug and co decide that they don't like what someone has to say they make up their minds to troll that person. Oh and the Monkey thing? Weak jab by the way.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:56 pmYou guys hating on Draco are nuts. This thread is entertaining.

Three times the Blackhawks broke in alone on Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider during the opening period. Three times they came away empty.
For a while, it appeared maybe it wouldn't be the Hawks' night as they faced their archrivals Tuesday night at the United Center.
Yeah, forget that.
The Hawks found the gas pedal and roared back from a first-period deficit, saw their two-goal lead disappear in the final three minutes and then prevailed in the shootout for a 4-3 victory.
Patrick Kane and Andrew Shaw scored in the shootout for the Hawks. Chris Higgins scored but Ray Emery stuffed Ryan Kesler on the Canucks' third shootout attempt.
With their 16th consecutive game to start the season without a regulation loss, the Hawks equaled the league record set by the Ducks in 2006-07. At 13-0-3, the Hawks have captured 29 of a possible 32 points.
Kevin Bieksa scored with 1 minute, 1 second remaining in the third period to force overtime after Alexander Elder had pulled the Canucks within 3-2 with 2:42 left.
Marian Hossa had two goals and Patrick Sharp also scored to provide the offense for the Hawks.
The only downside for the Hawks was a third-period injury to Hossa, who took a forearm to the back of the head from the Canucks' Yannik Hansen and did not return. Hossa suffered a serious concussion during the playoffs last season and was not cleared to play until mid-November. The Hawks already were without defenseman Brent Seabrook, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Both goalies had to be on their games early as some suspect defense led to a flurry of breakaways — five in a span of 7 minutes, 41 seconds.
First, Emery got his right pad on Daniel Sedin's shot, and Schneider matched that and did one better while the Canucks were on the power play. Hossa raced in on a short-handed breakaway attempt but was denied by Schneider. During the same penalty, Dave Bolland's backhander misfired.
Next up was Sharp, but his shot while racing in on Schneider sailed wide. Emery again denied Sedin on the final breakaway during the sequence.
Not long after the spectacular saves, Emery let one in he'd like to have back. Sedin's innocent-looking backhander from a wide angle eluded the goalie, and the Canucks were on the board.
Early in the second, the Hawks tied it when Sharp sent a laser beam from the left circle that slid through Schneider's pads. It marked the second consecutive game the veteran winger found the net after a 10-game goal-less skid.
Mired in his own goal-less skid entering the game was Hossa, who hadn't scored in six games. That lasted until the second, when Hossa twice lit the lamp. The first came on the power play when the veteran fired a rocket from the high slot that sailed past Schneider, who was screened by Andrew Shaw.

Arsenal and Manchester United are set to battle it out for Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabye in the summer, according to the Daily Express.
Cabye has impressed since making the move to St James' Park in 2011 from Lille for £4.8 million, and has been linked with a move to one of the Premier League's top four for some time.
Manchester United, whose perennial search for a creative midfielder has seen them linked with a host of players, were reportedly interested in landing the Frenchman at the start of the season, while Cabaye himself claimed Tottenham tried to make a move for him last summer.
Toon boss Alan Pardew has previously admitted he would be powerless to stop a bigger club poaching Newcastle's best players in the past - and said that if Manchester United want Cabaye to be the "next Paul Scholes" it would cost them "a shedload of money".
However according to the Express, Arsenal are firmly in the hunt for his signature as they look to overhaul their squad in the summer with a £70 million transfer budget.
Reports emerged in the aftermath of Arsenal's 3-1 Champions League defeat against Bayern Munich last week that boss Arsene Wenger will be handed a transfer war chest to revamp his squad in order to end their trophy-less run which looks set to extend into an 8th season.
Cup defeats against Blackburn and Bradford, and the fact they are mired in a battle for 4th place rather than the title, has heaped the pressure on Wenger - but the Arsenal boss has reportedly been told his job is safe and that he will be backed in the summer window.
According to the Express, Cabaye, who will cost around £15 million, could be central to those plans, while a new goalkeeper and striker also appear to be on the Gunners wish list.
They may still face competition from Manchester United for the 27-year-old, with Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly ordering scouting reports ahead of a potential move in the summer.
Cabaye, who is contracted at Newcastle until 2016, got on the scoresheet yesterday as Alan Pardew's side brushed aside Southampton 4-2.

Since Hurricane Sandy hit in late October, there have been many heartwarming stories of neighbors helping neighbors, businesses, organizations and places of worship assisting their communities — and now a program to help local students who were affected by the storm, Schools Adopting Schools.
The initiative was started by Julie Bergin, a Lynbrook resident and a West End Elementary School PTA member, with the help of her sisters Tina Horgan and Catherine Foley and her niece Kerri Horgan. Bergin was New York state's representative at this year's Mom Congress on Education and Learning Conference in Washington, D.C., April 29-May 1. There she met other mothers from across the country, and she has kept in touch with her fellow honorees through social media, and has posted updates on the impact of the storm.
"Because we were all involved in schools," Bergin said of the Mom Congress, "they wanted to know how they could help [our] school kids."
Through Schools Adopting Schools, she said, she has worked with more than 20 schools that are either in need of help or looking to help. Those in the latter category are all over the country, including South Dakota, Texas and Utah. A school from Salt Lake City adopted East Rockaway High School, which suffered extensive damage and whose students have temporarily relocated to two Baldwin elementary schools while repairs are being made.
Cathy Tierney, an East Rockaway PTA member for the past 10 years, is coordinating efforts on behalf of the high school and has been in contact with April Harrison, the representative from Utah, about what the school needs.
"The generosity from people has been overwhelming," Tierney said. "The fact that schools are looking out for one another I think is a wonderful thing, so we're just looking forward to whatever April's school district can do for us and we'll gladly accept it." Tierney added that the school is seeking basic school supplies, like notebooks, folders and backpacks.

Southwest farmers can expect nitrogen prices to remain high in the coming years, primarily due to limited increases in supply and dramatic increases in demand globally.
Doug Stone, nitrogen marketing manager for Terra Industries says there is only one word he can think of to describe nitrogen marketing in 2008 — WOW. "We did not expect the dramatic price spike in June and July, nor the equally dramatic price decline in October and November," he says.
Worldwide nitrogen production has climbed gradually, from 19.5 million tons in 2006 to a projected 20.8 million tons in 2009. Globally, demand for nitrogen has increased dramatically as has demand for nitrogen for non-agricultural purposes, Stone notes.
For example, he says the U.S. is projected to use about six million tons of urea in 2009. The 2009 total is expected to be up slightly from 2008, primarily due to increased planting of high-nitrogen crops, like corn, worldwide.
What has been a slow increase in nitrogen demand worldwide is expected to skyrocket in the next few years. India, for example, used virtually no urea in 2006 and over a million tons in 2008. By 2015, India is expected to use 12-15 million tons annually.
Demand in the U.S. for urea is expected to increase in the last quarter of 2008 in response to the upcoming 2009 crop. However, globally supplies will continue to trend below demand.
By 2010, crop projections worldwide are for 57.5 million more acres of cropland, requiring 3.5 million more tons of nitrogen. Where this extra nitrogen will come from is a good question, according to Stone.
If the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) and federal biofuel tax credits were to be rescinded, it would only reduce agricultural demand for nitrogen by 2 percent annually between 2008-2015.
Stone estimates that over the same time period industrial demand for nitrogen will grow by a minimum of 2 percednt annually, effectively mitigating any negative impacts felt by the reduced biofuel production.
Global demand for high protein meat will help drive demand for nitrogen in 2009 and beyond. In the U.S. 55 percent of all grain grown is used for livestock feed. Chicken requires 2.6 pounds of corn, soybean and ddg (distiller's dry grain) to produce a pound of edible meat. Swine requires 6.5 and beef 7 pounds of grain per pound of meat. Demand for grain alone requires 3.5 million pounds of nitrogen in the U.S.
China's decision to keep nitrogen fertilizer products made in China in the country has been a direct cause of price volatility in the U.S. Price volatility of nitrogen will likely continue on into 2009 as fertilizer dealers try to sell high cost mid-2008 products in a market in which prices have fallen dramatically.
In October 2008, China raised its export duties on nitrogen fertilizer and synthetic ammonia from 100 percent to 150 percent. The new export duty rate will be in effect at least until the end of this year. The export duty on fertilizers not containing nitrogen will remain unchanged at 100 percent.
This in effect took China out of the nitrogen export market, and it wasn't a complete surprise to the fertilizer industry. In April 2008, the Chinese government imposed an ad hoc export duty on mineral fertilizers until Sept. 30 with the aim of stemming chemical fertilizer exports from the country at the height of the Chinese agricultural season.
Since the start of April, when China levied export duties on mineral fertilizers, world ammonia prices have surged by 59 percent, those of carbamide have increased by 98 percent and those of ammonium nitrate have surged by 93 percent.
For example, the price of ammonia fell from Nov. 1 to Nov. 15 from $530 a ton to $350 a ton. In that same time period oil prices fell by $10 per barrel. Stone stresses that nitrogen costs are closely linked to oil prices on a worldwide basis.
Stone says tight nitrogen supply and demand balance will be directly influenced by different drivers. Supply in 2009, he says, will be driven by:
Imports will be the key driver in supply availability.
Lack of Chinese export volumes will continue to keep a tight balance in the market and raise prices to high levels.
Demand for all nitrogen products, he says, will be driven by strong planting expectations for 2009 and rising industrial usage.
Global grain demand also will be a strong global driver of nitrogen demand. Factors directly influencing global grain demand include:
Historically low global stocks-to-use ratios
Biofuels driving grain requirements.
Rising income levels improve diets for a growing population.
The nitrogen outlook for 2009, Stone says, depends on U.S. prices, which need to be competitive with global markets to attract both urea and UAN import volumes. Tight supply and demand balances should mean higher prices for nitrogen as growers begin to purchase fertilizer for their 2009 crops.

High fuel and fertilizer prices continue to decrease the economic viability of farms represented in a baseline study released recently by the Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M University in College Station.
Farmers experienced as much as a 28 percent hike in fuel input costs in 2005, which also increased the likelihood of negative net cash flows, according to the report.
Commodity price increases projected through 2010 won't be enough to offset increased input costs, said James Richardson, study co-author.
"The high price of fuel and fertilizer has played a significant (role) in net returns to farmers," Richardson said. "This will cause many farmers across the country to look for new ways to cut costs while maintaining yields."
Most cotton and rice operations included in the study will experience negative cash flows over the next five years, due to continued low prices and the high price of energy for irrigation and fuel to run machinery.
The report, presented to both the U.S. House and Senate agriculture committees, includes 66 crop farms, 23 dairies and 13 cattle ranches in major producing areas of 28 states.
Of the 20 cotton farms, 18 operations were projected to experience severe cash flow problems in the next five years.
"A lot of this is contributed to the cost of irrigation," said Joe Outlaw, study co-author. "It just keeps going up. Even the dryland farms are having a hard time making it. Although cotton prices are increasing a bit, the increase is not enough to offset the large rise in input costs."
Rice farms are facing an even bleaker outlook, Richardson said.
"They're facing some difficult challenges," he said. "Part of it is the price of rice is just not likely to exceed the target price. As with cotton, rice is a high input crop. It costs money to pump water and irrigate. And rice takes a lot of fertilizer as well. The price projections for rice are mostly flat, which won't help offset these high input costs."
The cost of land is also contributing to net worth decline, Richardson said. Producers who have land debt, or are paying cash rent, are in a "cost-squeeze" because of increasing interest rates and rising rental rates, he said.
The outlook for the cow-calf and dairy operations is stronger due to recent favorable prices for cattle and milk, Outlaw said. However, beef cattle prices are expected to decrease moderately, in part due to cattle herd expansion nationally.
Dairy operations represented in the study are projected to see moderate decreases in net returns as recent high milk prices will come down to more modest levels, the report indicated.
By commodity, the study found the following projected impacts on economic viability during 2006-2010:
Feed grain farms: Three of the 18 feed grain farms were in good overall financial condition. Six were considered to be in marginal condition, and nine in poor condition.
Wheat farms: Four of the 13 wheat farms were classified in good financial condition, one marginal, and eight in poor condition.
Cotton farms: One of the 20 cotton farms was classified in good condition, one in moderate condition, and 18 in poor condition. Also, 18 of the farms have more than a 50 percent chance of losing net worth by 2010.
Dairy farms: Thirteen of the 23 dairy farms are in good overall financial condition. Four are considered to be in marginal condition, and six in poor condition.
Beef cattle ranches: Six of the 13 cattle ranches were classified in good financial condition, two classified marginal, and five projected in poor condition.

Why Is The RIAA Sending Takedown Notices Over Music Radiohead Gave Away For Free?
from the seems-odd dept
Since then, the band has also come out as very pro-file sharing and anti-RIAA. For example, the band's manager has said that file sharing should be legal and that it is "a great thing for culture and music." In the meantime, Radiohead's Thom Yorke has pointed out that the record labels have been unable to innovate and has predicted the imminent demise of the major labels. Oh, and most importantly for those who claimed the "free" part of their release was a failure, last summer the band officially released a track for free and distributed it via BitTorrent themselves.
So, all of that should make you wonder why the RIAA and the IFPI are issuing DMCA takedown notices for blogs that have hosted In Rainbows. Why indeed? TorrentFreak notes, accurately, that Radiohead did do deals with major labels for distribution of the physical album of In Rainbows, but I was pretty sure they kept the copyrights themselves. Perhaps that's not the case? However, it does seem strange to see songs from In Rainbows included in takedown requests from the RIAA and the IFPI.
We keep hearing from the RIAA and the IFPI that all they want is for consumers to "respect the artists' wishes" when it comes to how their music gets distributed. So, we have to ask, since Radiohead has made it pretty clear they're perfectly happy with their digital copies being distributed this way, why won't the RIAA and IFPI "respects the artists' wishes" on Radiohead's In Rainbows?

- The Silver Hand Recruits summoned will benefit off Sword of Justice if it is present. (Source)
- Minions are summoned before the 1/4 Weapon is played.
Summon three 1/1 Silver Hand Recruits. Equip a 1/4 Weapon.
"I'm bringing the guacamole!" – One of the most successful (yet rare) Silver Hand rallying cries
More like Mustard for Battle amirite?
Knife juggler old friend :/
Why can't I find this card to craft? Any help would be appreciated for this noob!
Nevermind! Found it, I had to select "All Cards".
At 131 points, Muster for Battle is currently the highest-rated card on HearthArena!
At nothing, Muster for Battle is currently no longer in Arena!
Sugestion to balance this card: increase mana cost by 2 make it summon two more recruits and remove the weapon
I love some mustard on my battles.
Basically this is the card, why you want to mulligan for some aoe removals when facing paladin decks :) It is a very strong card indeed, but the fact that you can sort of expect it from every paladin deck, makes it not overpowered, Surely when played in combination with a quartermaster, it can lose you your game. So dont use up your aoe's if not necessary, before the paladins use at least 1 of this card.
This card needs to be nerf,even as a individual card without any synergies it is overpowered.
Suggestion for balancing this card:
1)increase its mana cost by 1 or
2)dont include the weapon but this may benefit paladins even more as weapons like coghammer will not be replace when this card is played.
3)reduce 3 recruits to 2 recruits.
The card is good but definitely not overpowered. And any of those nerfs would just make it plain bad.
Class cards are always far above average, and if every class has good class cards then what's the problem? Mage has Frostbolt, Druid has Ancient of lore and so on...
The issue is that this is almost impossible to counter efficiently, and just shuts down the early game too much.
It'd still be a decent card at two recruits instead of three, and still control the early game decently enough I think.
Though it wouldn't be an issue if cards like Equality didn't make small minions so dangerous to leave alive for Paladins - and there's the potential Silver Hand recruit plays to contend with of course.
insane top card
IMO more broken than Dr boom. F this card.
if Sword of Justic is set and then I play Muster for Battle will recruits get +1/+1 or armour replacement happens befor recruits come?
It's written in the clarifications above: the recruits get buffed and then the SoJ is removed. I've also tried it myself.
Love the card, even crafted them in golden.
Probably my most favourite card in game. Made me switch from Warrior to Paladin.

Officials from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and IUCN-ESARO staff met in Nairobi today to look at ways of collaboration as they expand their programmes in the eastern and southern parts of Africa. The meeting convened programme staff from the IUCN regional office and its country offices in the region and is buidling on the work that IUCN and AfDB are doing in West and Central Africa.
In their remarks, both Ali Kaka and Aimé Nianogo, the two IUCN Regional Directors in Africa, emphasized that the meeting is a continuation of on-going efforts to share information on the interests of both organizations in a number of areas. They also noted that the meeting offers an opportunity to generate ideas on where the two organizations can collaborate more.
Speaking during the meeting, Bamba Diop, AfDB Environmental Specialist noted IUCN's convening power and the strengths of IUCN in the technical aspects of environment which the Bank is in need of. "A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between IUCN and the bank and prior to that, IUCN and AfDB have been in discussion for many years around the environmental aspects of the Bank's programme."
He informed the meeting that IUCN has been working with the AfDB on a number of projects in West Africa and there is need to expand the work to diverse areas in the other parts of Africa.
Established to help development efforts on the continent, the overarching objective of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group is to spur sustainable economic development and social progress in its regional member countries, thus contributing to poverty reduction.
For more information, please contact: Ali Kaka, IUCN Regional Director on firstname.lastname@example.com

For some, the fact that Michael Vick is still a Philadelphia Eagle is more surprising than Donovan McNabb now playing for the Washington Redskins.
Even Vick, now the Eagles backup quarterback to Kevin Kolb, said he was initially surprised.
"I was surprised in the beginning," Vick said about not being traded. "But after the smoke cleared, I just thought about it and talked it over with my family and I just said, 'I'm blessed to have a job in the NFL.'"
Still, Vick had been very adament this off-season about wanting to return to starting. He went on several radio shows in a sort-of campaign to get a job with a different team. But it didn't work. Even though the Eagles said they were entertaining offers for all three of their quarterbacks, they didn't receive a serious sniff from any other teams.
So now that he's back, is Vick content with being just the No. 2 guy?
"I'm just going to continue to get better, continue to work hard," Vick said Friday after the first day of minicamp. "That's my role here. I just want to help this team win a championship."
Vick will earn $5.25 million in the last year of a two-year contract he signed with the Eagles last August after he was released from an 18-month prison term. Is he hoping that perhaps next year he can get another opportunity to start?
"Whatever happens happens," Vick said. "I can't predict the future. All I can do is control what I can control and hopefully put myself in a position where maybe I can start in this league."
Vick's role with the Eagles is more important that your customary backup. He'll still likely be a part of the Eagles' Wildcat package.
"I think we'll still have part of the Wildcat package," Vick said. "I think we'll still be able to mix in some things at times."
A slimmer Vick said that he was able to drop five or so pounds in the off-season, and now weighs around 207 pounds -- his normal playing weight. He said he's also down to 4 percent body fat.
"During the season I fluctuated in between 211 and 213," Vick said. "But just to be at a consistent 205, 207, like I used to be, and having a chance to add on more muscle was an important goal for me this off-season."
He thinks he's got the old motor back.
"I was really more quick than I was fast," Vick said. "I think some people failed to realize that. My ability was to get away with that initial burst. I feel like I got that back."

WHEELING, W.Va. — Jabari Parker confirmed his presence a few times Saturday during Simeon's 82-53 loss to Montverde. Like when he made two first-quarter 3-pointers, or when he unleashed a well of frustration with a one-handed dunk in the fourth quarter.
"Jabari, he's back," Simeon coach Robert Smith said of Parker's return from a fractured right foot.
Now Simeon, ranked 12th by ESPN and second by the Tribune, needs to locate its guards, Smith said.
Parker had 17 points and 13 rebounds at the Cancer Research Classic at Wheeling Jesuit University, but sophomore forward Edward Morrow (10 points) was the only other Simeon player to score in double figures as the Wolverines disappointed in their second nationally televised game this season.
Smith called out Illinois-bound guards Kendrick Nunn and Jaylon Tate, who combined for 10 points, four assists and six of Simeon's 19 turnovers in a loss to the team ranked No. 1 in the nation by ESPN.
"If Kendrick and Jaylon don't play, we're not going to be a very good team," Smith said. "They're committed to go to the University of Illinois. They've got to be better than that.
"They have to show up in these types of games."
Simeon (9-2) was severely overmatched by Montverde (16-0), a Florida prep school that draws players from all over the country.
Dakari Johnson, Kentucky's new 6-foot-11 commit as of Saturday night, hulked in the lane for 18 points and 15 rebounds. Florida-bound point guard Kasey Hill sped to 13 points and six steals, and Justin Bibbs made jumper after jumper to finish with 13 points.
Simeon trailed 15-14 after the first quarter, when Parker started quickly with eight points.
"I don't give myself any excuses; I don't care if I was out four months," Parker said."If I'm going out there, I need to go as hard as possible or I shouldn't be out there in the first place."
Montverde went on a 10-0 run to start the second quarter and led 43-24 by halftime. Simeon seniors Russell Woods and Kendall Pollard got into foul trouble in the second half, and the Wolverines could do little to climb back in the game.
"We knew they had a strong six, seven (players), but we didn't expect them to come out and do that to us," Pollard said. "We were trying to speed up and play their game. We didn't play our game tonight."
Twitter @ChiTribKane
Player of the game: Dakari Johnson, Montverde, 18 points, 15 rebounds.
Key performers: Simeon — Jabari Parker, 17 points, 13 rebounds; Edward Morrow, 10 points, 3 blocks; Montverde — Kasey Hill, 13 points, 5 assists, 6 steals; Justin Bibbs, 13 points.

The code compiles and runs OK in both emacs versions, but the warning message is annoying.
Can anyone see any old-style backquote stuff here? Is the problem that there is a nested backquote?

Urban Butik: A Great Source for Scandinavian Tabletop & Kitchen Tools
A few of the prettiest things we saw at the Housewares show this year were from Montreal-based Urban Butik, which is one of the only North American distributors for small, independent Scandinavian design companies like Kähler, Oyoy, and Magisso.
Scandinavian design is known for being simple, stylish, functional, and durable — think classic shapes and understated colors but impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. Urban Butik's founders, Anne Foged and Jean-Luc Bouchard, started the store when they moved from Europe to Canada and realized how difficult it was to buy Scandinavian design in North America. Now they partner with small design companies and individuals to bring the best of Scandinavian design to those of us in the US and Canada. And we're glad they did!
• 1 Mano Bowl in Green, $28.46
• 2 Magisso Cake Server - Fresh Lime, $18.95
• 3 Marmitta Roaster, $89.95

Homeland Security Still Plans To Search Laptops At Borders With No Probable Cause
from the ain't-no-due-process-at-the-border dept
But stuff on your laptop is different in two very important ways:
- You mostly store everything on your laptop. So, unlike a suitcase that you're bringing with you, it's the opposite. You might specifically choose what to exclude, but you don't really choose what to include.
- The reason you bring the contents on your laptop over the border is because you're bringing your laptop over the border. If you wanted the content of your laptop to go over the border you'd just send it using the internet. There are no "border guards" on the internet itself, so content flows mostly freely across international boundaries. Thus if anyone wants to get certain content into a country via the internet, they're not doing it by entering that country through border control.
Instead, the new head of DHS has "revised" the rules for laptop searches, but they're only slightly better in that the old rules were "anything goes," while the new rules are "we're still searching laptops, but we have a few rules." The main components of the new rules are that you're allowed to be present in the same room as your laptop, phone or device as it's being searched -- but not necessarily to see what border patrol is doing. Also, they can't keep your laptop for more than five days, which seems pretty damn long to me. Though, as some note, this basically means that you should make sure any encryption on your laptop takes more than five days to crack.
DHS boss Janet Napolitano's reasoning for the searches is hardly compelling:
"Keeping Americans safe in an increasingly digital world depends on our ability to lawfully screen materials entering the United States,"Um... right, but, again, the contents of the a computer laptop can easily enter the United States via the internet with no border control process whatsoever. The whole claim that this has anything to do with screening materials entering the US is totally bogus.
On top of this, the other thing that's not at all clear is how far the "search" can go. With a growing number of "cloud" based services in use, many of which act as if they're local, can the border patrol search those as well? For example, I use Jungledisk, which gives me a virtual drive that shows up in my file system as if it were a local hard drive, even though it's hosted in some data center somewhere. It looks like a local drive... but it's not actually on my laptop. Would border patrol have the right to search that, even though the contents of that drive are not actually traveling across the border?

NWSB Writer and Oregon Ducks blogger Bryant Knox brings us a unique piece here, what if these 5 players chose the University of Oregon instead of their current schools. Chip Kelly would definitely have his share of options with these two QB's. Both Collin Klein and Denard Robinson have what it takes to be the option QB that Oregon is always looking for. Knile Davis would challenge LaGarrette Blount style numbers for the Ducks.
