Now that Lloyd Carr is spending his days golfing and his nights at manga conventions, it's time to go over this career. First we play nice, assembling the Carr Era dream team. First up: the offense.
Rules: each season is judged independently. It makes no sense to compare one year of Drew Henson with four years of Chad Henne. Each player can only appear once: no receiving corps of Braylon, Braylon, and Braylon.
Update: Yes, NFL careers and draft positions do have some small bearing. These teams are based solely on college performance, but fans can wildly mis-rate players they've watched. NFL draft status and the performances they put in early in their careers can provide a valuable check.
Defensive End
Lamarr Woodley, 2006. Woodley was consistently excellent from the midpoint of his freshman year on, but it was in 2006 he did this:
co-captain ... Lombardi Award winner ... Ted Hendricks Award winner ... American Football Coaches Association All-America ... Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America ... Football Writers Association of America All-America ... Associated Press All-America first team ... The Sporting News All-America first team ... Rivals.com All-America first team ... Rivals.com National Defensive Player of the Year ... SI.com All-America second team ... CollegeFootballNews.com All-America second team ... Bednarik Award finalist ... Ronnie Lott Trophy quarterfinalist ... Bronko Nagurski Trophy candidate ... Outland Trophy candidate ... Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year (coaches and media) ... Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year (coaches) ... consensus All-Big Ten first team selection (coaches and media)The Ted Hendricks Award is another one of those fake-o awards that just popped up in the past few years and is awarded by the Upper Skokie Elks Club, but the Lombardi has been around a good long while and a Michigan player had never won it until Woodley reeled it in. Woodley was a killer pass rusher that year, tying David Bowens' school record with 12 sacks, and was also a major factor in Michigan's suffocating run defense. The only thing he couldn't do was run the 4.3 40 that would have gotten him to Troy Smith before he could get his passes to wide open WRs off.
MGoBlog is particularly indebted to Woodley, since it was his scoop-and-rumble to cap the f-ing beatdown of Notre Dame in 2006 that inspired "Brady Quinn for Heisman," which I can still watch six times in a row:
For this, and many other things, Woodley is the winnerest.
Glen Steele, 1997. Steele was one of a number of mid-nineties Michigan defenders with quintessential football names, (Jarrett Irons, Sam Sword, and Rob Swett were also charter members) and Steele lived up to his. The other All-American on the Michigan defense during the national championship season, Steele was a terror against both run and pass.
When Ohio State trailed Michigan by six points late in the 1997 edition of the Game, it was Steele who throttled the Buckeyes' final drive with two sacks and another TFL. It was also Steele, along with Swett, who forced Stanley Jackson into the worst interception ever (4:46 in) and gave Michigan the 20-0 margin they'd defend for the rest of the game.
Steele went in the fourth round to the Bengals and spent several years as a backup in the NFL.
Second Team
James Hall was always terribly underrated. He didn't even make the All Big Ten team his senior year -- though, bizarrely, he was an All American to the Sporting News and a Butkus semifinalist -- and went undrafted. He's still in the NFL.
And, finally, the great disappointment of David Bowens, 1996. It was Bowens' record that Lamarr Woodley tied in 2006. Bowens' accomplishment may have been even more impressive since he did it in just eleven games (he missed the bowl game due to academic suspension, IIRC, and the twelfth game didn't exist then) and was just a sophomore when he did it. But he bombed out of school and ended up at Western Illinois. Rats.
Defensive TackleAlan Branch, 2006. Defensive tackles are by nature statistical wastelands and must get by on reputation. Or, if you're Alan Branch, one of the most iconic photos in Michigan football history:
The 6'6" terror from New Mexico was statistically unimpressive during his final season in the winged helmet, racking up a paltry 25 tackles, 6 TFLs, and just two sacks, but the above impact and many others like it didn't register.
This is Alan Branch's impact, registered:
Every UFR that year was a rhapsody to Branch, and when I checked out Michigan's third down performance in 2006 this happened:
You can see 6'6", 330 of angry New Mexican hauling the tail end of that graph down like a black hole in spacetime. That's Alan Branch. 33 percent! On third and one! Six of eighteen! SIX OF EIGHTEEN!When he entered the draft after his junior year, Michigan fans universally expected he'd be a top five pick and were notably disoriented when he fell to the first pick of the second round. No other Michigan defensive tackle under Carr has come close, statistics be damned.
Jason Horn, 1995. I confess I remember less than zero about Jason Horn. I was 16 when he was a senior and not quite the raving fanatic would become later. (When high school extracurricular events would interfere with games I would just find out what happened later I remember listening to Colorado try a Hail Mary the year after the one that worked in a car.) So when I perused the Bentley Library's records of the 1995 team and saw two All-Americans, one of whom was named "Jason Horn," I said "who?"
Well, in 1995 Jason Horn had 67 tackles, 11 sacks, and 18 TFLs and was named All Big Ten and All American by everyone. No Michigan defensive tackle can match that set of statistics and accolades, not even Branch.
Second Team
Will Carr, 1996. For God's sake don't give him the ball. But, like, other than that Carr was pretty good, lodging an incredible 160 tackles over his last two years and being named a first-team All American in 1996.
Gabe Watson, 2005. It's either him, Rob Renes, or Josh Williams. Renes was an All American to TSN in 1999 and All Big Ten; he was drafted in the seventh round by the Colts and stuck around the league for a little while. Watson was a planetoid force of nature more interested in cheeseburgers than weights who spent half the game panting and half the game wrecking fools. Do you want the scrappy overachiever or the guy who kinda sorta wasted his potential? Maybe it's too much Fire Joe Morgan, but screw that Eckstein noise: I'm taking Watson.
LinebackerDavid Harris, 2006. Harris will forever be the gold standard for Michigan middle linebackers. Agile, fast as hell, brilliant, and a crushing tackler, Harris probably should have won the Butkus his senior year. The insane badassery of Michigan's defense held his tackle numbers down, though, and the award went to some undeserving Penn State guy, like it usually does.
Harris started nine games in the NFL last year, racking up a season's worth of stats: five sacks, 127 tackles, and one traded Jonathan Vilma. Michigan's run defense took a spectacular nose dive.
Michigan listed two "inside" linebackers throughout most of Carr's tenure as Michigan stuck to Jim Herrmann's odd player designations that treated Michigan's players like they were in a 3-4, but in reality the two outside linebackers had more in common with each other than the true middle linebacker. Michigan would often flop players from the strongside to the weakside over the course of their careers, causing a logjam of killer weakside linebackers and a paucity of good senior guys on the strongside. So I'm discarding the distinction, declaring all OLBs OLBs, and picking two of these gentlemen:
|Larry Foote
|ABT, BT DPOY, 1 1st team AA
|4th round, average starter
|Pierre Woods
|ABT (2nd)
|undrafted, end of roster
|Victor Hobson
|ABT(1st), 1 4th team AA
|2nd round #53, average starter
|Ian Gold
|2nd round, #40, 1 Pro Bowl
|Shawn Crable
|ABT(1st), many second-team AA
|3rd round #78
So there are two gentlemen here with eyepopping TFL numbers: Foote and Crable. Crable is out despite his Michigan record of 28.5. The defense this year was terrible against the run. Crable himself spent much of the year at defensive end against the spread, frequently gave up contain when not making his TFLs, took a bunch of personal foul penalties, and was the final goddamned nail in Michigan's coffin during the Horror. No.
Foote, on the other hand, is in, as the only Michigan OLB to come down with Big Ten defensive player of the year honors in Carr's tenure, and the only one to pick up a first team AA nod. For the other spot you're really splitting hairs between Hobson and Gold. My personal preference is for Hobson, who I remember being more of a safety blanket for me. Hobson was also the one really good player on a front seven featuring Zack Kaumfan as one of the other linebackers and a line of Rumishek-Bowman-Heuer-Stevens. Gold got to play with Dhani Jones, Rob Renes, and James Hall.
So there you go: Larry Foote 2001 and Victor Hobson 2002 join Harris.
Second Team
In 1996, Jarrett Irons finished up this third straight year of more than 100 tackles and was named a first team All American by multiple outlets. Sam Sword ('97 and '98) and Dhani Jones (2000) can't measure up.
The outside linebackers: Gold and Woods from above.
CornerbackCharles Woodson, 1997. This needs absolutely no justification, but I can give you plenty anyway. In 1997 Woodson had eight interceptions, second-most in Michigan history (Tom Curtis had ten in 1968) despite being avoided as much as humanly possible. Michigan finished #1 in total defense, scoring defense, and pass efficiency defense en route to a perfect 12-0 season and a national title.
And, like, all this stuff:
Update: oops... should probably include the Woodson highlights.
He also won that Heisman thing.
The obvious out of the way, we're left with two candidates for the other starting spot:
- Leon Hall, 2006. Hall was a Thorpe finalist and first-round NFL draftee and the best player in Michigan's secondary during their other great defensive year. Minuses: could to little to stave off Troy Smith's passing in the Ohio State game and got dusted by Dwayne Jarrett late in the Rose Bowl.
- Marlin Jackson, 2002. This was actually Jackson's sophomore year. In his first game he spectacularly battled Washington's Reggie Williams, who would be amongst the top receivers drafted that year, into an unproductive game. He would set a Michigan record for pass breakups in a single season.
Second Team
Jackson 2002, obviously, and then how about Jeremy LeSueur in 2003? LeSueur came a long way from his "brain freeze" against Michigan State in the Spartan Bob game. In 2003 he was second-team All Big Ten and Michigan's best corner on their excellent 2003 Rose Bowl team. He essentially shut out Mike Williams back when Mike Williams gave a damn. Unfortunately Markus Curry got burned twice by Keary Colbert, John Navarre was under siege all day, and USC got gifted a fluke touchdown when Braylon Edwards back-heeled a ball right to a Trojan defender, but none of that was LeSueur's fault. He was drafted in the second round by the Broncos.
SafetyThis has been by far the weakest position over the course of the Carr era. The only All-American listed by the Bentley Library is Ernest Shazor, who was indeed an All-American up until the moment he disemboweled Dorien Bryant and saved the 2004 Purdue game. After that, uh...
And, like, there's more. (That first video was posted by a Spartan, who gloats that Shazor is slow and Spartan Bob must have crowned the field at the Big House... in a video from the 2004 Michigan-Michigan State game! Remind me how that turned out again? Sparty, no!)
Anyway, Shazor earned his rep the first half of the season and... er... blunted it in the second half. By the time the NFL draft rolled around, Shazor had plummeted all the way out of it. He cannot be added to the list.
Who's left?
Marcus Ray, 1997.
Ray's senior year in 1998 was marred by a six-game suspension for contact with an agent, so 1997 was it for Ray. It was a pretty good it, though: one #1 ranked pass efficiency defense, one SI cover, one national championship.
Jamar Adams, 2007. Don't get me wrong, Jamar Adams was a fine safety. I can tell because I didn't hate him despite his existence during the era when I carefully comb over every play the defense makes in case there's something to hate therein. Any college team would be totally satisfied to have him as one of their starters.
But Adams is the only player on the first team to never make first-team All Big Ten (he was second-team) and is one of very few to go undrafted. As one of Michigan's best safeties over a 13-year period, uh... that's depressing.
Second Team
There is no second team. Seriously: Julius Curry? Tommy Hendricks? Ryan Mundy at West Virginia? There is no second team.

As if the wonders of the morning ritual that is ingesting a hot cup of caffeine wasn't enough reason for you to love coffee, turns out there is a convincing amount of evidence that regularly indulging in a cup of joe may actually be good for your health over the long run. This assumes, of course, that you're not polluting your coffee with oodles of heart-clogging cream and sweet but deadly sugar. Cups of black coffee, on the other hand, look like a good bet when it comes to drinking something for your health. We'll take a look at the details in the below list…
1. Decreased Mortality
To put it as broadly as possible, drinking coffee on a regular basis may actually reduce your chances of dying from every imaginable cause. That's right. And there is a heap of evidence to back up that eyebrow-raising claim. More than 35 studies have been done covering more than 2 million people that indicate coffee directly influences what one meta-study published in Public Health Nutrition calls "all-cause mortality."
According to the study, light to moderate amounts of coffee is "associated with a reduced risk of death from all causes, particularly in women." As for what is it about coffee that links its consumption to reducing the risk of death? That part is still unclear, but the statistical association is clearly there. As for the amount of coffee per day, the study indicates that the benefits of coffee consumption increased slightly with greater intake. So those in the study that drank 3 to 5 cups a day saw more benefits than those that drank 1 cup a day.

Perhaps one of the best ways to experience Japan's tradition-rich culture is by visiting some of its numerous historic religious temples and shrines. The old imperial capital of Kyoto has some of the nation's oldest and best-preserved examples of this unique Asian architecture.
Located in the south-central area of Honshu Island, Kyoto is a vibrant modern city with an atmosphere laden with ancient Japanese culture. Kyoto's colorful heritage is exemplified in the many temples and shrines capturing the city's past. Admission to many of the temples and shrines is free, but some do charge nominal admission fees, usually about US $5 per person. The following are among Kyoto's more popular visitor attractions.
Clear Waters
Kiyomizudera Temple is located in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto. Known as the "Clear Water Temple," it was founded in the 8th. Century by a Buddhist priest. The temple buildings are spread over a steep hillside offering panoramic views of the Kyoto metro area. Most of the present buildings and towering pagoda were constructed in the early 17th. Century. Visitors seek out the temple waterfall for its pure water, said to have curative powers for all illnesses. Kiyomizudera is one of Kyoto's most visited temples.
Zen and the Peaceful Dragon
Ryoanji Temple (Temple of the Peaceful Dragon) was established in 1473 in the Ryoanji area of Kyoto. This Zen temple is most famous for its rectangular (100 ft. by 33 ft.) rock garden, created in the 16th. Century. The garden is composed of 15 rocks set into a field of raked white gravel and is considered a masterpiece of Japanese culture. Foot paths lead through the temple grounds and around the Kyoyochi Pond, providing varied views of the beautiful gardens and temple grounds. Visitors sit quietly on the walkway surrounding the Zen garden, meditating and contemplating peacefully. Ryoanji Temple (Temple of the Peaceful Dragon) was established in 1473 in the Ryoanji area of Kyoto.
Cloud Dragon
Located in the Sagano district of Kyoto, Tenryu-ji Temple (Temple of the Heavenly Dragon) has a long histor; its landscaped garden is a designated United Nations World Cultural Heritage site. The Sogenchi Garden is one of Japan's oldest. The temple was established in 1339 and has undergone several reconstructions. The present buildings date to the Meiji period of 1868-1912. However, the site was originally occupied by the first Zen temple in Japan, dating back to the ninth century. Be sure to take in the magnificent ceiling painting of the "Cloud Dragon" in the Dharma Hall and stroll through the adjacent giant bamboo forest.
Painted Panels
Daikakuji Temple, originally a palace of the Emperor Saga during the 9th. Century, was later converted to a Shingon Buddhist Temple. The temple buildings are noted for their exquisite traditional sliding doors and paneled paintings depicting scenes of early Japan. Fronting the main building is an imperial court-styled garden flanked with orange and plum trees. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with Osawa Pond adding to the serene atmosphere. Daikukuji Temple is in the Sagano area of Kyoto city.
The Golden Pavilion
Located in Kyoto's Kita-ku district, the Kinkakuji Temple boasts the famed Golden Pavilion. The complex features meandering pathways through extensive gardens that are a World Cultural Heritage site. The temple dates from the 1300s, but the elegant Golden Pavilion is the only original building. The handsome three-level pagoda tower is covered with gold-leaf on lacquer, providing a shining reflection over the tranquil waters of Kyoko-chi Pond. The Golden Pavilion is one of Kyoto's major attractions and attracts large crowds. Pathways course through the temple grounds and around the pond, offering varied views of Kinkakuji.
Torii Tunnels
Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto's suburban Fushimi-ku district is a large temple complex spread over a wooded hillside. This large Shinto shrine complex is one of Japan's most important. Pathways through wooded slopes pass through tunnels of bright red-orange torii gateways, the temple's most noted feature. There are numerous small shrines devoted to various deities. Many locals come here to pray, make offerings and ask for the blessings of the gods for the success of business endeavors.
Big Buddha
Todai-ji Temple is located in Nara, an hour's train ride southeast of Kyoto. This temple complex dates from the 8th. Century. Due to wars, fires and natural disasters over the years, many of the current buildings date from the 16th. and 17th. centuries. The Hall is 187 ft. wide by 164 ft. deep and 157 ft. high. It had to be big in order to house the magnificent bronze statue of the Vairocana Buddha, the largest bronze statue in the world, at 53 ft. high and weighing 550 tons.
Imperial Kyoto
Kyoto, the ancient imperial capital of Japan doesn't disappoint. Thoroughly modern in every way and reflecting the fast-paced urban environment of today's Japan, Kyoto retains its reputation as a center of Japanese culture and heritage. Kyoto's magnificent temples are among the best examples of Oriental architecture and provide unique insights into Japan's rich culture and heritage.

Sittwe: Ethnic Kaman living in Arakan State have been unable to travel freely despite the new government led by President Thein Sein coming into power in accordance with the new constitution, said U Thein Shwe, a Kaman leader in Minbya Township in Arakan.
He said, "Kaman is an ethnic nationality among the 135 ethnic nationalities of Burma, but we have not been able to travel freely in Burma like other ethnic nationalities because we are Muslim. There is discrimination against the Muslim community in Burma. Because of this, we can not travel with national ID cards, and we have to travel with Form No. 4 even though we have genuine national ID cards."
The No. 4 traveling form is for those people who do not have national identity cards or are not citizens of Burma. The form must be submitted to high officials step-by-step from the township authority to the state authority in order to get permission to travel.
"If we Kaman want to travel to other parts of Burma from Rakhine State, we have to submit the No. 4 traveling form to the township immigration along with village authority testimonials. The township immigration department submits the form again to the Arakan State immigration department. After the immigration department issues permission with the No. 4 form, we can travel wherever we need in Burma. We have to wait at least one or two months to get travel documents from the authority," he explained.
Since the Kaman are an ethnic nationality of Burma, the government issues them with national identity cards the same as the other ethnic groups, but they have deprived them of the freedom to travel since the military came to power in 1988.
"We had the right to travel freely around Burma even in General Ne Win's period. The freedom was taken when the military government came to power. Since then, our people have not been able to travel freely without the authorities' permission," he added.
The new government came to power with the constitution drafted in 2008. The Kaman people hoped that the authority would provide freedom of travel for them the same as other nationalities in Burma.
"In the past during the military government period, there was no constitution in Burma. So the military government ruled Burma with verbal orders however they liked. Now the new government comes into power with a constitution. In the new constitution of Burma, all citizens of Burma should enjoy equal rights, but the reality is different. We have not received the right to travel like other nationalities," U Thein Shwe said.
The Kaman community in Arakan State has submitted appeal letters to high government officials including President Thein Sein to remove the travel restriction imposed on them, but there has not been any response from the high authority.
U Zaw Win, president of the Kaman National Progressive Party, said, "Our party is a legal political organization despite having lost in the last election. We have a duty to carry out our people's interest. So, we have submitted an appeal letter to the current government to reconsider the travel restrictions on our people."
"Now the government is elected with the 2008 constitution and has a duty to rule Burma in accordance with the constitution. Even though we are an ethnic nationality of Burma, we are restricted by authorities in travel. We want equal rights like other nationalities in Burma. So we appeal to the government to remove the unnecessary travel restrictions imposed on our people," he added.
The authority has restricted not only Kamans from travel, but also other national identity cardholders who are Muslim and living in the Districts of Thandwe, Kyauk Pru, and Sittwe in Arakan State for many decades.
Many Muslims in Arakan State are disappointed with the new U Thein Sein government because it is not ruling Burma in accordance with the new constitution that was drafted by the current power-holders when they were part of the military junta.

Hmm, and how come that's true? I mean if you ran short strides (or did walking), you would then be moving your legs through a shortened ROM compared to running with an elongated stride or as if you were doing full front splits in the air while running?

The resident wallaroos at Daydream Island Resort and Spa are known to be curious creatures and that includes exploring the coral beaches around the island. The Whitsunday waters and Daydream's mermaids make a spectacular scenic back drop.
Daydream's famous life-sized bronze mermaids Serenity, Aphrodesia and Infinity sit atop a rocky outcrop.
There is a legend that in 1770 Captain Cook and the crew of The Endeavour heard a woman's cry for help in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef.
Racing to assist, The Endeavour struck and lodged firmly on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef.
The story has it that night the Captain heard the cry for help again and in a tiny life raft he went to investigate, stumbling upon the mythical Atlantis. A mermaid then appeared and promised to free The Endeavour if the Captain told no-one what he'd seen.
The latitude and longitude written in the ship's log for this incident corresponds exactly with the location that is now known as Daydream Island.

Backed by the Nutrition Band.
I'm sorry.
Anyway! I was on a pretty good streak with working out, but things got busy and I was tired – such convenient reasons. Honestly, I was enjoying working out, and looking forward, but my tenacity fell short. I want to start again tomorrow.
I've been using Fitness Blender, but also want to start using MillionaireHoy's workouts. FB's workouts can be pretty darn tough, but MillionareHoy's look like, level 10 out of 5. They're probably not that difficult, and I think I'd be able to get through them, but they look like hell. I'm excited though!
I was also wondering if I should workout twice a day. Like go biking when I get home. I think I'd like that since I don't bike enough.
I also really want to focus on strength training too. I didn't see anything (of course) but I felt it, which was really cool.
Goal is to workout 6/7 days this week!

Let's start with the basics. VAT, or value added tax, is a tax levied on the consumption of goods and services, ultimately paid by the final consumer.
There are certain items that are zero-rated, including food, books, newspapers and young children's clothing, but these generally aren't applicable to contractors and freelancers.
If your limited company is VAT-registered as a contractor you need to add 20% to the value goods or services you provide to customers, and issue invoices which will serve as the official records to tax purposes.
It is compulsory to register for VAT when the turnover of your business reaches, or you expect it to reach, the relevant threshold – calculated per a 12 month rolling period. The current threshold is £83,000.
By way of example, as at the end of August 2016, you have to look backwards from that month for 12 months stretching back to September 2015, and if the total turnover or sales amount for those 12 months is more than £83,000, it is time to get registered for VAT.
It can be a painful set of consequences if your business has been trading for a few years and have inadvertently gone over the VAT threshold. HMRC is entitled to apply VAT retrospectively to the point where it reached the threshold and the additional amounts demanded can run into tens of thousands of pounds for a contractor or small business.
You'll be penalised 5%, 10% or 15%, depending on how soon after hitting the threshold you register with HMRC.
While it is not necessary, it could still be a good idea.
When quoting for work, you'll find that some companies insist that suppliers are VAT-registered. While registration might be advantageous, keep in mind that this will likely make your services more expensive than non-registered competitors and could affect your profit margin.
Some small businesses also register for VAT in order to claim VAT back on items purchased.
If you have registered for VAT, you should begin charging on the day you registered. There is no need to wait until you receive your certificate, as this could take up to 30 days.
For any invoices issued between your date of registration and the date you receive your certificate, you will need to raise invoices as a total figure; this includes the sale amount and the VAT amount. Once you have received your certificate and VAT number, you can add this to your invoices, re-issuing them to customers, separating the sale and VAT amounts.
You'll need to submit a VAT Return to HMRC every quarter, which needs to show your "output" tax – i.e. the total VAT you have charged your customers, as well as any VAT you wish to claim back against charges you've incurred for the company.

Preface: Once upon a time, much before Cricinfo became essential to our lives, there was a delightful magazine for all us cricket lovers known as the 'Sportstar'.
It was the year of '94 or '95, two years since the game had surged through my veins and made me its seduced captive. Since my colony only had older bullies who never let me bat or bowl, so right after I'd reach home from school, I would run to the porch as soon as I was done with the pesky business of lunch. Holding my bat with the right hand, I'd throw a ball onto the wall with the left, and before it ricocheted off the wall and reached me, I would swiftly grasp the bat with both hands and launch into a drive through covers, rather two broken cactus pots. That day, the first time I missed a shot, I declared Manoj Prabhakar clean bowled by Craig Mcdermott. But instead of letting in Manjrekar to bat next at three, I carefully scribbled a relatively obscure name, 'Rahul Dravid', in my notebook scorecard.
That week's Sportstar edition had a picture of the same man as one of the top run getters in the Ranji circuit. An eleven year old's intuition told me that he would play for India one day, but mostly I put him at three because he looked handsome in the photograph. He was frowning because the sun hit his face, but he still looked handsome.
Sixteen years later, the same man stood at the Centurion, with twelve thousand international test runs to his name. The next day, however, every single newspaper in India only chose to speak about Sachin's fiftieth ton, how he missed his father still, how he went for coaching to Shivaji Park, and a hundred other anecdotes that every Sachin lover knows by heart. The third highest run scorer in tests, the man who would arguably have been India's greatest bat if not for the boy the whole country was busy lauding, did not even have a mention.
Dravid's greatness however is not limited to his runs. It is a potpourri of character, hard work and a genuinely good heart.
A month earlier, the same two men stood at either ends of a pitch, two runs away from sealing a 2-0 score line against the visiting Aussies. For years, the single largest complaint against Sachin, unfair as it is, has been his seeming inability to be there at the end and take India to victory. An over before, we were all glued to our sets and wondered whether Sachin would finish it off with a six to silence his detractors, if he would uproot a stump and run with it like a child when we won, and a million other things. But now Rahul was on strike and would of course finish it off himself. Just like he did seven years back, hitting that trademark square cut boundary to give India her first victory in Australia in 22 years. But we all want Sachin to do everything, don't we? As we sat there watching Mitchell Johnson bowl to Rahul, we prayed he leave every ball alone and strangely he did. The next over Sachin won the match for India, took off his helmet, raised both his hands to exult with uncharacteristic emotion, and smiled.
We will never know if Rahul Dravid did so intentionally, letting his more celebrated team mate have his moment, but it is a tribute to his character and image that we are inclined to believe so. If intentional, it was a selfless act, by a man who has been renowned for the same (remember donning the keeper's gloves so that India could play both Yuvi and Kaif?), and it shamed us for wanting Sachin to score those runs.
One day Rahul Dravid will retire, but he will take away with him a bit of what is left of the gentlemanliness that the game tries to still portray as its unique element.
One day Dravid will retire but he will take away with him that beautiful square cut - wrists as supple and turning like Zorro's, toes rising sweetly in sync with the pace of the approaching ball, standing perfectly tall, majestic and most importantly in control, before whacking the cherry disdainfully through backward point.
When Rahul retires, the nation will lose the greatest number three to have ever graced it, and writers will mourn saying that the media never gave him his full due. But don't blame the media, for grace will never overcome the charms of boyish appeal or even spitting fire, traits his best mates Sachin and Saurav so regularly exhibited in that enviable Indian middle order. But when Rahul retires, that middle order and also the Indian eleven will lose its most handsome face, something that we all wrongly assumed was handed over by God, but in truth, which came about by the virtues he imbibed in his soul as he grew up.

Read with caution!
Okay I am giving you this on the weekend with the small chance that you have not yet discovered Pinterest, because if you haven't started pinning up inspiration on your virtual boards, you'll need the weekend to start.
I officially have a problem. It's only been 24 hours, and my kitchen is a mess, my house is a mess, and I did very little "work" today. All because of Pinterest! I don't know how much more warning you need....but I'm just warning you.
So here's the low down: Pinterest is basically a virtual bulletin board. You create an account (after being invited by someone), and you start with a set number of various boards like: For the Home, Inspiration, Food, etc. Then you can add boards as you see fit.
Then you just start pinning. You browse through pictures until you find one you love and onto your board it goes.
Now here are the foreseeable problems.....
1. It's addictive! I am seriously going to need a timer.
2. Half of the super cute things I see on there, I will never have time to make or money to buy.
3. There is a very realistic chance that many people on Pinterest only pin and never do. I am advising that if you check it out, you promise yourself that you'll try something from it and not just stare at the good ideas all day long on the computer.
And here is why I LOVE it....
1. It is a visual dream! If you are a "visual person" this is definitely the site for you. It's got amazing pictures and ideas of everything!
2. There are ideas for everything: organization, design, food, fashion, kids activities, you name it, there are pictures for it.
3. It is simple inspiration.
I am a huge dreamer. Not that I am not pleased with what I have and where I am. That's not it. I just know that there is always more to learn and more to try. And where I lack in creativity, Pinterest fills in the blanks!
So here is what I've been doing for the past couple days....dreaming! And filling up boards. But I decided that if I'm going to pin it, I need to do some of it, too. Therefore, I created a "Things I am actually going to do" board.
After all my big dreaming, I've picked out a few things that I am actually going to do. Of course, I'll update you on my success, but it should be fun. Here are the to dos for the next couple of weeks:
A Chalkboard Menu Planner.....I'm going with a different look, but the same basic principle.
A place for all the kids' artwork and creations. I'm going to combine a couple of different ideas.
And last on my list of ambitious things I am going to do....a magnetic makeup frame. This is too cute!
So those are the things I'm going to actually do. And here are just a few things that I love from some of my Pinterest boards. Whether or not I ever get around to these, we'll see...
Love this idea for Halloween parties or just little goodies for school parties:
Love this for all you OU fans....it actually doesn't look too hard.
Great idea for school papers, mail, and other important info that never can find a place to live.
Love this for Halloween! And it would not be too hard!
I guess I better stop. I could go on and on....hence the addiction. So I warned you! Go carefully and with a kitchen timer.
Pinterest=my new inspiration addiction.

Silestone by Granite Britain
Silestone is world leader in quartz surface
Silestone invented in 1990. It as a product that brings together the best of natural stone and manages to improve it even further. Silestone has made a giant leap forward that gained the immediate recognition of professionals and end users alike. It has been so successful that the antibacterial, quartz worktop has become a unique category within the brand.
Silestone by Cosentino is a unique brand; for its properties and characteristics, and because anything bearing the name Silestone automatically becomes something unique. Its exclusive nature means that it's brand is associated all around the world with design/fashion, achieving the highest levels in innovative,contemporary design and quality.
Silestone has achieved a position of global prestige. The brand is present in more than fifty countries, is the market leader in its sector and an example of research and innovation for private and public constructors in the 21st century and we continue to strive ahead in our market.
Quartz is crystallised silicone dioxide, it is normally white or transparent, although it can appear in other colours if it forms in the presence of impurities.
It can be found in its pure state or be present in other components. Its high durability/resistance to acids means it can be used in the manufacturing of a very wide range of precision and high performance products. Quartz is the main component of Silestone slabs.
Silestone worktops now comes with built-in Microban antibacterial protection; a revolutionary treatment that guarantees total hygiene and which Silestone has incorporated into all its products.
Six Areas
- Hampers the growth of all kinds of bacteria.
- This is not just a surface treatment. The built-in treatment covers 100% of the product.
- Does not affect any of Silestone's physico-mechanical properties.
- In tests, it has demonstrated to maintain its antibacterial properties for 30 years.
- ALL Silestone products have Microban built-in.
- Microban is world leader in antibacterial applications.
It has been successfully used for 35 years in many products in the hospital, construction and food sectors.
Some of the bacteria it acts against are:
- Salmonella
- Listeria
- E-coli
- Staphylococcus
- Aspergillus
- Ivre
Antibacterial protection is incorporated during the manufacturing process, which means that it is present in each quartz particle of every Silestone worktop.
Microban's active ingredients evenly distributed throughout the worktop's thickness - ensuring that even hard to reach areas such as corners are protected.
Because Microban's antibacterial protection is built-in during the manufacturing process, it cannot be worn out even with constant use.
Your Silestone worktop will stay protected for the whole of the products life.
That is Why Silestone Worktops are for you! London anywhere in the UK!
So for Silestone Worktops contact Manchester's Premier Marble, Granite, Quartz and Egineered Stone Granite Britain. Please call 0161 622 1446

Helena is back, as is the tension... I guess? Sorta. Also, that's a misleading cover.
The Spoilers:
After attending the funeral of Giz, Dick is left questioning his life decisions and who he surrounds himself with... Speaking of questionable relationships, here's Huntress! Helena is aware of Dick's current life situation, and sees an opportunity. Helena is out for those who had connections to her family's demise, Dick is out for the Second Hand who was responsible for Giz's death. Intel says they're both after the same person at the moment, and despite Dick knowing Helena's exploiting his vulnerabilities, he goes along with it.
Elsewhere, Pigeon tries to get Shawn back into some hoodlum shit, but she says no... and just to get it out of the way, by the end she decides to say to hell with the system and goes back to being Defacer anyways.
In Italy, Dick and Helena find a mob boss who uses the assassin they're after, and Helena gets his address out of the guy with a little knife to the throat threatening. Long story short, the guy they're after is dead, Helena finds a hidden thumb drive and it's a report... to Spyral... from Agent 19... their guy. Turns out the Second Hand is Spyral, and Tiger has lured both Dick and Helena into a trap of sorts.
The Opinion:
The pattern holds true... the arcs Javier Fernandez draws are infinitely more interesting to me than the others. It's whenever Dick leaves Bludhaven that I'm having the most fun with this book. As you can probably guess, I'm a big fan of brining Helena (I hope she's more of a regular in here), Grayson and Spyral elements back into the fold. Big fan of that. There were a few things I didn't really like... I kind of got lost on how we got to this Dracul assassin guy. Helena just vaguely brings him up and all the sudden he's the one who killed Giz? Maybe? I need to go back. Then Shawn's off page turn of heart was a little more tell than show, but there are only so many pages, so I can probably give that one a pass, as it wasn't exactly A plot stuff.
But yeah... Get Dick out of Bludhaven and this book gets way better. Maybe it's just the characters in Bludhaven... I just don't find them nearly as interesting.

It seems many work-at-home creative people have cats. Cats seem to be the perfect companion for a painter or writer with just the right energy and few demands. I have been blessed with the perfect feline companion who seems to enjoy my studio time as much as I do. I like to get my chores and obligations done before I paint, and she will often go to the studio and wait for me.
My cat, dear Sophie, likes to be where I like to be. I mean exactly. If I am standing while painting, I must remember not to step on her because she likes to sleep at my feet. Painting with a cat on ones lap is lovely in some ways, but it is not good for serious work. It is usually her choice to be on my lap, but, too much movement by me and she will remove herself indignantly. If I get up from my chair, she claims it immediately. I wonder sometimes if like dogs who clearly love to sit in the drivers seat when it becomes available, if cats don't feel that our chair is the seat of power and therefore rightfully theirs.
Sophie has some peculiarities, she was hired on originally as a mouser. She is an excellent hunter, and she did rid us of all of the household pests. As if she feels obliged to prove her worth, she now persists in bringing them in to the house and letting them go until she can catch them again at her leisure. Sophie is very quiet, hardly ever a meow. She only eats expensive cat food, graciously leaving human food alone. She never walks on the kitchen counter or table if we are at home. On all my canvases, one could probably find at least one cat hair unintentionally worked into the paint or varnish.
My son Adam, who also makes his living as an artist, had a sign in his studio which read "Dogs have masters, cats have staff". His cats spent many long hours keeping him company while he worked. MeMe, an intense personality in a small fur package, was an inspiration for many drawings featuring her Jekel/Hyde personality.
There is a facebook page, Artists and Cats created by Todd Pendu with 603 members http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61949694304 , and a website too. http://www.pendu.org/exhibitions/artistsandcats/2008.htm
"Working with a group of artists is like herding cats" is an expression that I heard first this year when our arts organization was doing a fundraiser with thirty artists. I volunteered to be the link between the association and the artists. For the most part, it was a wonderful experience. Each artist as an individual was charming, cooperative, and delivered on time. As a collective, they were difficult to get all in the same place at the time. I have forgotten who said it first, but once we heard the phrase, it became the final word on dealing with a group of artists …. "Its like herding cats". If any of you are in that position of trying to organize a group of creative people, I recommend website essay written by Anne Miller, Director of The Creativity Partnership. http://www.tcp-uk.co.uk/docs/4022%20cat%20herder.pdf and David Parrish's Leading Creative People http://blog.davidparrish.com/tshirts_and_suits/2007/06/leading-creativ.html
Sophie has been the inspiration for several paintings. She is almost completely black. In the painting above, it is her sleek silhouette that inspired the painting above. Another painting is almost totally black with only her glowing eyes and blue highlight on her luxurious coat illuminated. Both paintings were for my own pleasure and not intended to sell, but they did. No complaints, because replacing them will be a labor of love.
Below is a few quotes about cats from a list of some of the world's most creative people. For more interesting facts and quotes about cats: http://www.greatdreams.com/cats/cats2.htm
Leonardo Da Vinci "The smallest feline is a masterpiece".
Adolf Hitler is known to have despised cats.
Garrison Keillor "Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function".
Edgar Allen Poe "I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat".
Sir Isaac Newton, (theory of gravity) also invented the swinging cat door for the convenience of his many cats.
Albert Schweitzer "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats".
Aldous Huxley "If you want to be a psychological novelist and write about human beings, the best thing you can do is keep a pair of cats".

Alexander Graham Bell: Giving Voice to the World
Sterling Publishing Company, Inc., 2007 - Biography & Autobiography - 124 pages
Inspired by his nearly-deaf mother and a father who developed a "visible alphabet" of all the possible sounds a human being can make, Alexander Graham Bell spent the greater part of his life trying to improve the way people communicated with one another. It was this desire that led him to create his most famous invention, the telephone, and turned him into one of the most well-known names of all time. Young readers will find themselves fascinated by this in-depth look at Bell's life and times; his journey from compassionate teacher to master inventor; his success--by just a day--in becoming the first to patent his new creation; and his other, less celebrated, but important achievements.

SARAH McINTYRE
Sarah McIntyre (Vern & Lettuce) attended the 2011 Comica Comiket Independent Comics Fair on Saturday 12 November at the Bishopsgate Insitute in Bishopsgate.
Hurrah! This year's Comiket, part of Comica Festival, was a brilliant success. Three cheers to Paul Gravett, Peter Stanbury, events co-ordinator Megan Donnolley and all the other people who worked so hard to make it happen!
And gosh, it's awfully nerve-wracking drawing a brand-new comic in front of a whole room full of people! I sort of had a think about what I was going to draw on the tube, on the way in, but I was surprised to find out just HOW BIG the screen was! I'd never drawn a comic about Captain Waffle before, he's from my picture book, You Can't Scare a Princess!, but I thought it would be funny to have him storm a comics fair and get arrested for buying pirated copies of Tintin.
I wish I'd taken a photo of the page at the end, but I was too flustered to remember. I mostly based myself out of the DFC Library table, and Matilda Johnson, the office manager at David Fickling Books, kindly let me sell my mini comic Please Be Moral Do Not Spit alongside Vern and Lettuce. I noticed James Turner's Super Animal Adventure Squad was selling very well, which was great to see. It's SUCH a funny book.
It was great getting one of my comics heroes, Posy Simmonds, to sign my copy of our Nelson anthology. Nelson looks fabulous! Such a great coming-together of so many top British comic artists, it has to be seen to be believed.

Hi Mick. I see you left a lovely comment about the gourds but for some reason it has not appeared here. Thank you for that. Like you I prefer the second. It is the same old story for me of tightening up when there is too much detail.ReplyDelete

Sometimes the simplest things make the best photos. The below photo was taken right outside my back door, and is just two fallen sycamore leaves overlapping each other.
When photographing leaf patterns, I often have a hard time finding a composition that captures what really draws me to a certain leaf or group of leaves. Often, I have to pause for a moment and define what it is about a particular scene that's actually appealing. Is it the color or pattern of one particular leaf or the juxtaposition of multiple leaves together? That helps me decide what the appropriate scale is for the photograph. Many times, I end up getting closer and shooting a smaller scene – to scale down to the real essence of the subject. Other times, I back up and either try to capture the way several objects interact visually with each other, or the way a subject is set off against its surroundings. (I also abandon a lot of potential shots because I just can't find a way to make them work.)
With this photo, I decided that what I really liked about these two leaves was the shape of the line that separated them. When I tried to compose a photo showing both leaves in their entirety, the power of that line was diminished, but when I got closer, the line dominated the photo – and that's what I wanted.

Save Phone Space
Clear your cache straight from the menu to free up storage space fast. Or with a quick flip in settings, you can save your cache and downloads straight to an SD Card.
Multiple Tab Browsing
Some of you appreciated that Firefox Lite only allowed a single screen, others wanted to multitask with multiple tabs. Now you can have it either way. Open all the tabs you want, or keep it simple.
Parallel Download
You can download multiple files at once in the background. Save time when you have many files to download.
It's All Right Here
