Ohio State's Frank Solich.
I see what you did there.
My eccentric Oregon financial advisor doppelganger. Smart Football points to a fellow who goes by FishDuck and is all about zone reads, feeding his dog, the violent-yet-genteel devouring of Mike Patrick, and more zone reads:
An interesting point picked up from Chip Kelly's presentations: Oregon has tipped inside/outside zone for six years without ill effect because declaring the play causes people to overreact to it, which opens up constraint plays. More than that, the zone often acts as its own constraint as over-aggressive players flow playside or bunch up inside, opening cutbacks and bounces.
He's also got a video on Oregon's deployment of power, which it uses as a counter to their usual inside zone stuff. We haven't seen this out of Borges yet, but I'm hoping. My desire to see Michigan pair an opposite-side-of-the-line speed option with the inside zone borders on lust. And by "borders on lust" I mean "invades Poland with sexy tanks."
On point. Doctor Saturday lays out the situation and the stakes on Saturday as well as you can:
When he was hired in January, Hoke's mission was explicitly to roll back the Rodriguez era, to restore whatever it was that made Michigan feel like Michigan again. To that end, even Wolverine fans seemed to find the sudden proliferation of countdown clocks, macho posturing and various Buckeye-related eccentricities laying it on a little thick. But six weeks in, the Wolverines are right on schedule in the national polls, the Big Ten standings and the weekly stat sheets. If they clear the midseason hurdle Rodriguez's teams never could at Michigan State, they can claim one more phase of the mission accomplished.
Kind of a big deal, this game.
Point: Tim. Reportorial ex-girlfriend Tim, who now goes by the bizarrely long moniker "Tim Sullivan" over at Rivals, was a committed skeptic about Rob Bolden since he was one of a trio of touted in-state quarterbacks in the 2009 recruiting class.
Despite the rankings, Tim said the guy didn't know how to play football. It seems like his scouting prowess has been borne out:
Game Over, Man. Game Over. This quarterback contest is done. Urban Meyer remarked toward the end of Penn State's first offensive drive that at Thursday practice, he did not see Bolden complete a single pass over five yards. This makes sense, as Bolden did not throw a single decent pass on the entire first drive. …
Rob looks completely shattered at this point, and it's time for the coaches, players, and fans to embrace the crazy train that is McGloin Moxie Mania.
It's McGloin o'clock in Bolden's Penn State career. Beaten out by a walk-on, does a transfer again beckon? /NYT headline writer imitation
Point: Hoke. Shudder at the awful puntasaur display in the Iowa-Penn State game:
…Iowa got to the PSU 33, faced 4th and 8... and punted. That Guthrie was able to pin PSU on their own 10-yard line (a solid accomplishment) is irrelevant. Punting from the other team's 33-yard line is A F---ING STUPID AND TERRIBLE IDEA. I don't even need statistics to back me up on that one (although they would). Even if Ferentz didn't want to try to convert on fourth down (4th and 8 isn't easy, obviously), why not give Mike Meyer a crack at a field goal? It was a beautiful day, the ball was lined up near the middle of the field, and Meyer has made 50+ yard field goals in the past (this year, in fact). But no. Ferentz gave a vote of "no confidence" to both Meyer and his offense on that play. Iowa probably deserved to lose the game for that decision alone.
Of course, JoePa was determined to out-conservative -- or out-dumb -- Ferentz; he punted three times from the Iowa side of the field, including late in the game on 4th and 2 from the Iowa 36. If he really didn't think his offense could rip off a two-yard gain against a gassed and reeling Iowa defense, I... I just have no words for the level of neanderthal football thinking on display in this game.
Of course, that coaching blunder on Ferentz's part might be narrowly eclipsed by the decision to eschew running a two-minute offense upon getting the ball at the Iowa 20 with two timeouts and 1:42 to go before halftime. God forbid we try to score there. It's not like we don't have a no huddle offense that's been effective this year or a kicker with decent range. Nope.
Even if trying the field goal with Gibbons is a mistake, it pales in comparison to that business. I cannot express how much I love the Mathlete's new Dumb Punt of the Week feature. The inaugural winner is Ohio State's Frank Solich, who punted on fourth and one from the Buffalo 36. Buffalo has the #91 rushing defense. After an 11 yard punt, Buffalo drove for a touchdown. Ohio State lost by a point. The game theory gods do not take kindly to being spited so grandiosely. (See also: Kirk Ferentz.)
I missed another Hoke game theory bit: he got the ball at the 22 with about two minutes left and did not pull the Ferentz. Robinson rushed for a loss of one on first down, then five straight passes got Michigan to the Northwestern 44 before Robinson's third awful interception set up a Northwestern field goal drive. While we've seen Hoke eschew half-ending drives a couple times this year, those were with a minute or less on the clock, not two.
Now… it didn't work out that time, but these things are never 100%. Did it make sense at the time to try to score with a couple minutes left against Northwestern's defense? Yeah.
Glarb glarb glarb. So when Michigan shuffled its fullback on third and one and got owned I had a conniption fit. This was the result of DeBord Doom re-emergence:
That's the corpse of Steve Watson you see getting annihilated at the LOS. Glarb.
BWS picture-pages this and points out that the shuffling fullback opened up the Gardner rollout TD on which he had either the run or pass; I'm not so sure showing the first play is worth the cost to get a yard when your redzone offense seems to be able to get a yard whenever it wants. I like diabolical machinations better when they're like the above Oregon stuff—plenty diabolical in their own right without the counter.
Mitchbreaks. Mitch McGary's impending Michigan decision now seems far less certain:
Recently, reports came out that Mitch was nearing or had made a decision. However, Tim refutes that notion "He hasn't made a decision. I just talked to him tonight (Monday night) and we talked about it a little bit. He's coming home Wednesday night and we're going to sit down and talk about it. They get a four or five day break this weekend so he's flying in to O'hare and my older son will pick him up. We'll be able to sit down and sort things out."
Likely rumor vector: AAU coach to national guy, national guy tizzy checks in with coach a few more times, everyone wants to back off. Confidence level: reduced, but still high.
Etc.: Denard Robinson is healthier this year because he is homeopathic or something. Mark Huyge has had a tough year. Holdin' the Rope doesn't like "smug, pompous buffoon" Mark Dantoinio. Jon Merrill suspension 50/50 to end his career. Sad face.
Ohio State's Frank Solich.
I see what you did there.
Damn, beat me to it.
I can't tell if he's doing a nice little inversion of Hoke calling Ohio State "Ohio" or just made a mistake. Since this is Brian we're talking about I'm inclined to think the former, but still... Subtle troll is subtle.
He's also got a video on Oregon's deployment of power, which it uses as a counter to their usual inside zone stuff. We haven't seen this out of Borges yet, but I'm hoping. My desire to see Michigan pair an opposite-side-of-the-line speed option with the inside zone borders on lust. And by "borders on lust" I mean "invades Poland with sexy tanks."
I see what you did there. I too would like it if Borges could run RR's offense. I have my doubts, but if Borges could put in place some of this offense I would not have a bad word to type about him. I would be a believer.
The speed option was not in our playbook under RR.
OZR and IZR were both part of the playbook and given that the AD never saw it fit to let RR have a QB who had played the year prior then I assume he never fully installed his playbook in his three years here.
From starting in 2010? Or made him start in 2009?
I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell even His Dudeness is starting to believe him.
Didn't see it anywhere, so feel free to repost so it isn't lost in here.
You've been missed, old friend. But it sounds like things are going well so congratulations are in order! Don't be a stranger. (And to make sure you aren't, I'm going to dock you points for each week that passes without a post from you. /teasing, I think?)
eventually he's going to really understand this stuff, and explain it to the rest of us.
I kid, I kid.
very interesting.
The funny thing was Penn State took that field position, ran 17 plays, travelled 89 yards and kicked a FG
Why Captain Kirk has more confidence in a D thats been shredded by everyone this year and not his good looking offense and strong legged kicker is beyond me
I feel he owes me money for losing the +4 on his lame ass coaching
Do not fret, Brian. Merrill may be an irreplacable cog on the men's hockey squad, and Red's bunch may accordingly struggle without him. But we will always have our Lindsay Sparks-led women's hockey team to lift our collective sprits throughout the long, cold, dark winter months!
I'm not a huge fan of the TE motion necessarily, but Steve Watson kind of sucks.I can see the play being a little bit different with A.J Williams as Watson (already squatting 415 in HS(!)).
I can see why the coaches would like it--Michigan has numbers to that side of the field. If the TE does to the linebacker what Lewan is doing to #94, it's FB on LB w/running room.
Granted, that guy FishDuck seems borderline stalker material, and although the random comments in that video were annoying ("you just want to run out on the field and hug them"), but the video was extremely informative. Its amazing that even if broadcast to the world that the outside zone is coming, its still effective. I wonder what would happen if a great spread option team (like Oregon?) ran that same formation every down . . . Would they beat the majority of FBS defenses?
He touches on that in the video. Even when people know it's coming, and sell out on it, the running back cuts up inside and still makes good yardage.
Nice job-
Your link to Holdin' the Rope got a bunch of Anonymous Spartan trolls to attack.
Yeah...about that. OH GOD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE GET THEM OFF OF ME
Spartans are zombies with spray tans.
Dagnamn troll bomb went off over there.
The inaugural winner is Ohio State's Frank Solich, who punted on fourth and one from the Buffalo 36. . . Ohio State lost by a point.
I see what you did there.
In the fourth quarter of the NU-OSU game, leading 27-20 and at the NU 32, OSU took an intentional delay-of-game to give their punter more room for a pooch kick. It "worked" in the sense that the punt was downed at the 9-yard line, but I refer you to the final score to test another definition of "worked".
I cackled with knowing glee at the decision. This, folks, is why we all need to root for Fickell somehow keeping that job.
If they keep losing the only way they would keep him is if they beat us. I know you don't want that either just saying I wouldn't want to do anything to keep him as OSU coach.
You'd think they could have kicked a field goal, since OSU nearly always has a good kicker. But if not, to be honest I might actually consider punting from there and playing field position if my quarterback is someone who might not have even started for 2008 Michigan or this year's Indiana or Minnesota squads.
than most other teams?
It's possible simply on the fact that they run more plays than just about anyone except OU. If you went by percentage of plays for a loss. I think they would probaby look a lot better.
Barry Sanders? Lots of runs for negative yardage (plenty exciting mind you) balanced by ripping off nice big gainers.
that oregon guy is pretty good. O-line play is probably the most important and least understood part of football. Followed closely by d-line play.
Brian, Meta: The Dr. Sat. vide embed of "This is Michigan, fedgodsakes." is awesome. No, not just the fact that Hoke saying this is good. The link has a video arrow thingy button, and the video pops up in the lower left hand corner of the screen on top of the Dr. Sat. window. It doesn't bring up a new window, and it doesn't require two clicks (i.e., open link to window in new screen, then hit play.) Check it out, and perhaps change your links this way. kthxbye.
Loved the zone read Oregon stuff. Which reminds me: I think we are slightly forgetting that Michigan is still learning a new offense. To consider what we've done with a new OC elevates Michigan yet further. And raises Borges in my estimation. Yes, he has adjusted based on what he has, especially with Denard's speed. But he keeps on reminding us that the WR Corps is still learning route precision, and DR is still learning how to throw. And, we see great innovation, as in, 2 QB sets, etc. I think that Michigan will only improve more over the course of this year. I'm thrilled also that bethind the scenes, Stonum is learning routes, and will be way ahead of the learning curve for the 2012 campaign.
Borges has more tricks up his sleeve, and some of them will pop out this weekend. I expect to see some more wonderful shenanigans with formations that make this "vaunted" defense look bad. I'm a bit scared of thier gigantic DT, but all we have to do is attack off tackle or to the outside with the run game. This might be a game where running right up the middle is only used to keep the defense honest.
I heard the BTN call our WR core the best 4 WR's in the B1G and I agree. Gallon has especially surprised me with his ability to make guys miss and find the endzone. Hemmingway is amazing in 50/50 contests in the air, and Roundtree is finally settling down as an outside guy. God, I can't wait to beat these guys on Saturday! Go Blue!!!
Hoke has got to get Gibbons (and the whole unit) some actual experience with longer field goals. I think that's what he was doing there -- taking a risk in order to get that for Brendan et al. I don't think BH had any illusions about whether it was a good idea in terms of game tactics, but in his judgment (at that point in that game against that opponent) that was outweighed by the need to get his kicker a meaningful chance at a longer field goal.
This MSU game is the most important game this season -- unless M loses, in which case it's not. It hurts to think of the emotional impact of a loss on this team, after their experiences the past two seasons. But I believe in these players -- I don't think I've ever been as invested in a Michigan team as I am in this one at this point. You nailed this a few weeks ago, Brian -- these guys embody "those who stay" in an archetypal way.
Regardless, even if things go awry tomorrow, with a bye week before Purdue, they'll still be in good shape for the home stretch.
Did anyone else have the uneasy sense that FishDuck was feeding his dog chunks of human flesh carved out of the corpses of teenage runaways he keeps in a deep freezer in his basement torture dungeon?
No? Just me then?
Is this FishDuck guy officially affiliated with Oregon in some fashion? His pervasive use of "we" when referring to the football team is rather off putting.
I have to give the guy credit, though, the camera just loves him. His charisma is really jumping off the screen.
I keep thinking that Oregon helmet''s gonna go all Harry Potter and start changing colors.

What We Can Do: Media Outreach Guide
December 1, 2009
This guide provides information on how to understand and work with the three primary mass media venues: television, radio and print.
I. Understanding the News Media
The three most important elements in a good story from the media's point of view are action, people and substance. Match the media's need with your message and ensure that the information is provided to them in a timely manner. In order to develop appropriate media activities and messages, ask yourself:
II. Tips for Success
Allow plenty of planning time when selecting your date and time. Select a time when your most important audiences will be available and when conflicting events are not taking place.
III. Types of News Media
IV. Event Calendar
Before the EventTrack Your Media Relations
Track your media contacts (i.e., phone conversations, press releases sent) by having all contact information (name of media person, organization, time, date and topics discussed) on a simple form.
Prepare News Releases
News releases should include, in one or two pages, the five "Ws": WHO is involved; WHAT happened; WHEN did it happen; WHERE did it happen; WHY or HOW did it happen? The lead paragraph should answer these questions, in one or two sentences, especially since most reporters decide whether or not to read the rest of the release based on the first paragraph, and print editors tend to cut the article from the bottom up. The second or third paragraph should include a "colorful" quote reporters can use in their article. [See "Sample Press Release."]
Feature press releases can be three to four pages in length; an attention-getting headline is important.
Your news release may target specific groups, such as people of different age groups, ethnicities or genders.
Some suggestions for releases:
Prepare Media Kits
The "media kit" is a collection of information prepared for the media to be released on the day of the event. Examples of materials that might be included in a media kit:
Other Planning Tips
Day of the Event
After the Event

Fitzpatrick has better stats than both of them this season. And on a less talented team.
He's right there with Eli Manning with stats this season. Obviously Eli is having an off year but the point is Fitzpatrick is a viable option to hold down the position for a season in 2013.

Honorable Mention: NBA-Milwaukee Bucks @ Washington Wizards (Tuesday 7pm from Verizon Center live on Comcast SportsNet), Los Angeles Clippers @ Washington Wizards (Saturday 7pm from Verizon Center live on Comcast SportsNet), Oklahoma City Thunder @ Washington Wizards (Monday 7pm from Verizon Center live on Comcast SportsNet); Soccer: MISL-Missouri Comets @ Baltimore Blast (Sunday 5:05pm 1st Mariner Arena); Mixed Martial Arts: Bellator Fighting Championships 36 (Saturday 9pm from Shreveport, LA live on MTV2); Tennis-ATP Tour & WTA Tour BNP Paribas Open (Saturday-Monday 2pm from Indian Wells, CA live on Tennis Channel); Arena Football: AFL-Philadelphia Soul @ Pittsburgh Power (Friday 8pm from Pittsburgh live on NFL Network); Women's College Basketball: Selection Monday (Monday 7pm ESPN)
10. Get The Led Out: The American Led Zeppelin (Saturday 7pm Rams Head Live); Boyz II Men (Monday 7pm Bourbon Street); America (Monday 8pm Rams Head On Stage); Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (Saturday 8pm 9:30 Club), Apocalyptica (Sunday 10pm 9:30 Club), Pete Yorn (Monday 7pm 9:30 Club); Shamrockfest feat. Dropkick Murphys and Carbon Leaf (Saturday RFK Stadium); Lupe Fiasco "Lasers", R.E.M. "Collapse Into Now", Billy Joel "Live at Shea Stadium" available in stores/on iTunes (Tuesday); Jackass 3 available on Blu-Ray & DVD (Tuesday)
Kind of a weaksauce week for live music, but there's some decent stuff mixed in. I mean, what…IN THE WORLD…is better than CooleyHighHarmony???
I'm a fan of Grace Potter…
There's few better ways to prepare for St. Patty's Day than Dropkick Murphys…
and I freaking LOVE Carbon Leaf…
And since I'm on a role, it's about time Lupe Fiasco's disc finally came out. This song was one of the best of 2010…
9. Baltimore St. Patrick's Day Parade (Sunday 2pm Downtown Baltimore), Shamrock 5K (Sunday 1:15pm Downtown Baltimore)
A 5k run is a surprising place to bump into Rex Ryan…
Not a surprising place to bump into Rex Ryan? The place where we bumped into him in Indianapolis during NFL Scouting Combine weekend…
8. Golf: WGC Cadillac Championship (Thursday & Friday 2pm live on Golf Channel, Saturday 2pm Sunday 3m live on NBC. All golf from Doral, FL); PGA Tour Puerto Rico Open (Thursday 6:30pm, Friday 11:30am, Saturday 6:30pm Sunday 7:30pm from Rio Grande, Puerto Rico on Golf Channel); Champions Tour Toshiba Classic (Friday 6:30pm, Saturday 9:30pm, Sunday 10:30pm from Newport Beach, CA on Golf Channel)
Yeah…I looked up to find out that Rory Sabbatini won the most recent golf event. I honest to God couldn't tell you anything else going on in the sport, it is what it is.
So I wandered over to some golf blog page for more information about what was going on in golf. Holy hell was that terrible. There was actually information on how to tell two different types of golf balls apart. WHAT THE EFF? They're golf balls. Hopefully someone put their initials on one of them or something.
Anyway, one of the blogs had an ad for something involving Izabel Goulart. I don't know what it was, but I don't care. It was the first interesting thing that happened during my quest for golf information.
7. NHL: Edmonton Oilers @ Washington Capitals (Wednesday 7pm from Verizon Center live on Comcast SportsNet), Carolina Hurricanes @ Washington Capitals (Friday 7pm from Verizon Center live on Comcast SportsNet), Chicago Blackhawks @ Washington Capitals (Sunday 12:30pm from Verizon Center live on NBC)
In hockey news, the Columbus Cottonmouths of the SPHL wore these jerseys for a "Fight Night" promotion this weekend. (Thanks Puck Daddy!)
If the Caps would wear something like this, I might actually have a reason to give a hoot about them for a second or two.
6. Pro Wrestling: TNA Victory Road (Sunday 8pm from Orlando live on Pay-Per-View)
I guess TNA is supposed to be interesting now because 1-Sting is their champion, 2-Bart Scott has joined the fray…
3-Angelina from Jersey Shore is now part of TNA…
Nope. Still not really all that interested.
5. Boxing: Miguel Cotto vs. Ricardo Mayorga (Saturday 9pm from Las Vegas live on Showtime PPV); Sergio Martinez vs. Sergiy Dzinziruk (Saturday 10:30pm from Mashantucket, CT live on HBO); Jimmy Lange vs. Jimmy "The Fighting School Teacher" Holmes (Saturday 7pm Patriot Center)
The Cotto-Mayorga card is a pretty big deal all around, as both Joshua Clottey and Yuri Foreman are on the undercard.
The reason why Cotto-Mayorga is a big deal in Charm City however is because Ravens safety Tom Zbikowski is fighting on the undercard. We don't know who he's fighting, but whoever it is HAS to perform better than Robert Bell did five years ago at Madison Square Garden, right?
By the way, "Rudy" was on Encore Sunday-right after Little Giants. Raise your hand if you ALWAYS hate Notre Dame…right up until the point where Jon Favreau and the folks in South Bend start chanting Rudy's name.
For the record, as soon as they finish carrying him off the Notre Dame Stadium field, I start hating Notre Dame again.
4. High School Basketball: MPSSAA Semifinals-4A: Eleanor Roosevelt vs. Patterson (Thursday 7pm), Magruder vs. North Point (Thursday 9pm); 3A: Milford Mill vs. Friendly (Thursday 3pm), South Hagerstown vs. Centennial (Thursday 5pm); 2A: Gwynn Park vs. Digital Harbor (Friday 7pm), South Carroll vs. Easton (Friday 9pm); Dunbar vs. Owings Mills (Friday 3pm), Williamsport vs. Pocomoke (Friday 5pm); Finals all day Saturday (All games at Comcast Center)
Unfortunately Monique Bassett couldn't will my Perry Hall Gators all the way to College Park, but I'll give her a pass in her first season.
My picks to win the state titles are Patterson, Milford Mill, Digital Harbor and Dunbar-but I don't really know anything about the subject.
It's not the only subject I don't know much about but comment on anyway. For example, I don't really know much of anything about women's fashion, but I'd like to note that I approve of what Samara Weaving is wearing here. (Thanks Busted Coverage!)
3. Ed Block Courage Awards (Tuesday 5:30pm Martin's West); Anquan Boldin "Chalk Talk" (Thursday 5pm Hill Field House-Morgan State)
Kinda tough to weave my way from Samara Weaving to the Ed Block Courage Awards, huh?
I won't bother trying to be clever or funny here, and I definitely won't bother trying to post a picture of an attractive gal. Instead I'll channel Lance Storm and "be serious for a moment."
If you didn't read our own Nestor Aparicio's column about Michael Vick's night in Baltimore last year, I REALLY encourage you to do so. It will help explain this video…
2. College Basketball: ACC Tournament-Maryland vs. North Carolina State (Thursday 7pm from Greensboro, NC live on ESPN2), MEAC Tournament-Morgan State vs. North Carolina A&T (Thursday 8pm from Winston-Salem, NC streamed live at MEACHoops.com), Coppin State vs. Norfolk State/Howard winner (Thursday 6pm from Winston-Salem, NC streamed at MEACHoops.com); Selection Sunday (Sunday 6pm CBS)
Just a year ago, I was sitting outside the Greensboro Coliseum on a Friday afternoon thinking about a weekend that would either involve watching the Terps make a run towards an ACC Championship or watching the Morgan Bears try to clinch their second straight March Madness berth.
The Terrapins didn't keep their end of the bargain, but Todd Bozeman's Bears certainly did-and my weekend in the Triangle was OUTSTANDING.
This year…I think I'm gonna stick in the mid-atlantic.
Hey, Fang Mitchell's Eagles still have a real chance of making the Tournament-but I'm not holding my breath that I'll be needing to do another Selection Sunday special Sunday night on AM1570 WNST.
But if you have any interest in heading to Carolina for the weekend, I'd still encourage it. Just make sure you do these three things…
1. College Lacrosse: Maryland @ Towson (Saturday 11am from Unitas Stadium live on ESPN3.com), Loyola @ Duke (Friday 7pm from Durham, NC live on AM1570 WNST), Lafayette @ Navy (Saturday 12pm Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium), Lynchburg @ Stevenson (Saturday 1pm Caves Athletic Complex); Inside Lacrosse Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic: Syracuse vs. Georgetown (Saturday 11am) Cornell vs. Virginia (Saturday 1:30pm), Johns Hopkins vs. UMBC (Saturday 4pm) All games from M&T Bank Stadium live on ESPNU
So before we start filling out our NIT brackets in Baltimore, there's a damn good day of lacrosse Saturday.
I'll be at Maryland/Towson and Hopkins/UMBC Saturday for sure, and might try to poke in over in Owings Mills in between.
It's a shame there's so much going on in town Saturday, because if there wasn't I would have gone down to Duke with the Greyhounds Friday night and then stuck around for the ACC or MEAC title games Saturday.
Instead, the Glenn Clark household will be torn over a battle of alma maters when the Terps face the Tigers Saturday morning. I want you to look closely at this picture before you decide whose side you're going to support…
The great part is…I might have her so brainwashed that she mistakenly roots for Maryland on Saturday. HAHAHA!!!
Flexing my mic muscles since 1983…

Went thru a fast food drive thru, I paid for the meal that the car behind me ordered.
Gave a ride to someone that was planning on walking several miles in the cold weather, gave him a blanket also.

The atmosphere was electric. Tuesday's Camp Nou crowd cheered as Barcelona served up one of their greatest European nights, an extraordinary comeback to overcome AC Milan and make the boldest of statements: This team is far from finished yet.
Great sides are judged by the highest of benchmarks, and Barcelona's special standards slipped in recent weeks, with the Catalans twice beaten by Real Madrid and losing the first leg of their last-16 tie with Milan at San Siro in the Champions League. Having gone out of the Copa del Rey, they were now faced with an embarrassing European exit, too.
But it was the nature of those defeats which had disappointed the most and left the world wondering whether this team would ever be the same again. Tactically naive, defensively vulnerable, physically spent and lacking leadership, this was a pale shadow of the side which had been the best there was for four fantastic years under Pep Guardiola.
On Tuesday, though, the demeanours disappeared. Barcelona were back to their breathtaking best. Interim coach Jordi Roura, in close consultation with recuperating Tito Vilanova, got it just right and on this form, very few sides can live with the Catalans.
| Bayern Munich or Arsenal
Borussia Dortmund
Paris Saint-Germain
Porto or Malaga
Real Madrid
Villa's deployment further forward saw Milan's defence stretched in a way it had not been in Italy two weeks before and meant Philippe Mexes was unable to come good on his pre-match promise of pursuing Messi for the entire 90 minutes.
And after Niang had hit the post for the visitors in a breakaway move which could have changed everything, Messi made it 2-0 with another superb strike before half-time.
It was that goal which summed up just what Barca had been doing right on the night as Andres Iniesta, of all people, dropped deep to win the ball back and start the attack which saw him feed Messi for the tie's leveller.
Barcelona's pressing is one of the keys to the side's success in recent seasons, yet it had been noticeably absent from their last few games. On Tuesday, however, they pressed persistently. Xavi had been eased back to fitness following his injury, while many more were rested at the weekend. It showed. Barcelona were faster, fitter and fresher than they had looked for some time and Sergio Busquets, in particular, won the ball back tirelessly for the Catalans.
Villa's strike 10 minutes into the second half following Xavi's pinpoint pass gave Barca the lead in the tie for the first time, but there was still some nervous tension at Camp Nou because a Milan goal would have seen them through, and Massimiliano Allegri's side came close in the final minutes before Jordi Alba's goal in added time clinched a famous victory for the home team.
Alba had been instructed to stay back in a more defensive role as Dani Alves attacked almost as a fourth forward, and the Spain full-back stuck to his task to tuck in as a third central defender for most of the game. His only realy foray forward was to net the clincher, rounding off a 4-0 win on an excellent night for the Blaugrana.
Tactically, Barca had been spot on and all the hunger and desire returned in one memorable match. Now, nobody will want to face the Catalans in the last eight of the competition, because on this form, they look like the team which won 14 trophies out of 19 under Guardiola.
That brilliant Barcelona is back. And in less than two weeks, Vilanova returns too from his cancer treatment. So as the Champions League reaches its business end, the news is bright for the Blaugrana - and a little bit darker for all of the other remaining teams in the competition. End of an era? Not on Tuesday's evidence.

It's not a nice feeling. Especially when you can see it happening and you try and do everything possible (ok not everything) to keep your job, but in the end there is nothing you can do.
Is he getting decent severance? It might be enough to keep body and soul together. I can't imagine a lack of demand for web developers.
He's not a developer, he's a pharmacy tech. Yea, he's down a bit at the moment because he just got good news on his cancer not too long ago, and now he'll be losing his insurance. He can go through COBRA and the new high risk insurance pools will kick in (thank goodness for the healthcare bill) July 1st, but we have no idea on the premiums. It'll likely run to be over a thousand dollars (or more) per month, which combined with having no job (and harder to find another job since he can't do heavy lifts and work in a warehouse or anything anymore since the cancer), means I'll probably have to get off my academic semi-vacation and increase my hours at a real job.

TRUE LAD - the home of lad banterA mate, on 99 birds shagged, takes back a girl he'd been for drinks with. We (his housemates) all hide behind furniture in the living room when he came back. He starts his foreplay and asks her if she'd mind if he wore cricket gloves whilst they had ***, since it was a bit of a fetish thing for him. She looked confused but said fine, he goes into bag and puts them on. Then asks if he can wear pads, then finally a helmet. Fully padded up, proceeds to enter her and after about 3 minutes (LAD) comes, flicks on the main light switch. We all pop up from behind the sofa with rousing applause and cries of "THATS THE CENTURY!!", he grabs his cricket bat, removes his helmet and acknowledges the crowd. She bursts into tears, dresses quickly and runs out of the front door. She left her pants. LAD

The lights are on
Street Fighter II Turbo is a classic, but the new Street Fighter IV has it own merits. Then again, maybe you are fan of the Alpha series. If you like EX...well, this is the place you can get made fun of by real SF fans.
Exactly what the title suggests, what is your favorite Street Fighter theme song out there? It can be from any iteration of SF. Have fun!
My favorite: Sakura's Theme - Street Fighter Alpha 2
The iDOLM@STER : A game for real men.
Chun-Li's ending Street Fighter 2
I loved Chun's ending song in SFII. I also liked her stage song, the oriental-ness to it felt pleasing to my ears.
Yeah they were both sweet.
Ryu's SF II Theme song was the best on SFII...
I loved Ken's ending theme the best from street fighter 2. Its the wedding march. true classic.
I just wish you could chose the BG song in SFIV. I'd play Sakura's theme song all day long
I kinda liked the new one they have for the menu. Its sappy, but catchy when you are cruising the menus.
Really? I really hated the SFIV theme song "Indestructible". It was just really annoying to me and it wasn't catchy at all. It sounded worse in English. The old ones, like SFII Character Select song was good.
Personal Opinion for that one.
The Background music to the song was okay, but mediocre at best. It felt way out of place for a Street Fighter Game.
I've always loved Guile's theme from SF2
Fooblez says, "Stay Salty my friends."
Guile's SFII "Air Force" is a good choice. I think it sounds better in 16-bit over the Street Fighter IV remixed theme.
Rufus has the most catchy theme in my opinion
@mooglelover1 I've got to agree with you on that. I've been playing fighting games for years, I had never really played a Street Fighter game till IV (shocking, I know). I played a little of the original SFII, and I own Turbo HD Remix on XBLA but I could never really get into either. Thankfully, I love IV and its super cheesy "Indestructible" theme.

Anthony Accinelli writes "One thing I noticed during the demo was that I never found myself carrying too much in my inventory. It never seemed to be crowded. In open world games this is a common problem. Games like Skyrim and Diablo III constantly made me either leave my current objective to sell, or drop lesser items to make room in my bag. Not only was this annoying for the organizational freak like myself, but it took me out of the action."
Dishonored hasn't done anything except be a ripoff of a multitude of things and fail to steal them correctly.
It looks like a (super)natural successor to the original Thief games.
I think that can only be a good thing.
Oh, and what the author calls 'a common problem' is actually called inventory management and has been an integral part of RPG's for a long time. It certainly doesn't need to be removed to add to the relentless dumbing down of my beloved genre. Some 'gamers' are so intent on a mindless streamlined experience though that they turned the glory of inventory management into an endangered mechanic.
Also, menus in RPG's aren't complicated enough anymore. I long for the days that I would have to read the novel-like instruction manual to know what the hell was going on.
WELL, I can't say anything about Dishonored yet as it hasn't been released.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.

Finding a Resort: Rose located Taninah on the Internet. Several friends recommended Web sites. She started with one for Cancun, then found a link to family housing, which included a site for Taninah. After that, e-mails flew back and forth between her and Marino Tomacelli.
Getting There: Many airlines have flights to Cancun, some of them non-stop. Expect long lines and delays, not only clearing customs, but also getting your bags and rental car. Of course, we chose the President's Day weekend, when everybody seemed to be going to Cancun.
Best Airport Strategy: Select a seat in the front of the airplane and visit the bathroom immediately before landing. As soon as you exit the plane, rush to the customs line before 300 people beat you there.
Transportation: Major hotels and resorts offer shuttle vans. We rented cars, but check in advance to see if your automobile insurance covers you in Mexico. If not, your credit card may. Or, you can purchase insurance from American Express.
Weather: Mexico's Yucatan peninsula juts out into the Caribbean Sea, thus the weather is tropical: warmer in winter, but not as hot as you might expect in summer, claims Marino. Winter evenings can be cool. Bring a jacket. Taninah offers extra umbrellas for guests.
Bugs: Tropical climates provide good breeding grounds for insects. We saw fewer than expected. No more than we normally encounter in Florida, our winter home.
The Water: Most travelers suffer less stomach distress (read: diarrhea) on the Mayan Riviera than they do elsewhere in Mexico. Nevertheless, we used bottled water for everything, including brushing our teeth.
Cooking: Why do it? You can enlist a chef to prepare meals for much less than if you dined at restaurants. We selected menus before departing, so Marino could shop for us. We hired chefs two nights and wished we had done so more often.
Planning: Research the Mayan Riviera either on the Internet or in magazines and books before going. From Xel Ha to Xcaret to Chichen Itza, there is so much to do, we barely found time during our Big, Fat, Mexican Vacation.

If your Metra train starts looking like it deserves a centerspread in Better Homes and Gardens, you might want to thank a 10-ride pass holder sitting nearby.
The commuter rail agency is hiring 31 new coach cleaners, Chief Executive Officer Alex Clifford said.
The cleaners should start in a few months and the cost is expected to be $1.9 million in 2013 as Metra and the railroads it contracts with -- the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific -- phase in the new employees. In 2014, the total expense will be about $2.5 million, Clifford said last week at a Metra board meeting.
Metra raised rates on 10-ride passes by 11 percent in February and some of the $8 million it generates will pay for the extra scrubbing.
"As we indicated when we did the 10-ride increase or fare adjustment -- part of that will be used for providing cleaner coaches," Clifford said.
After surveying riders, "we got feedback from customers that showed our coaches could be cleaner," he added.
"Although we received an 83 percent satisfaction rate on cleanliness, we wanted to be aware of what some of our customers were telling us ... we think we can do better."
Metra gets about five to 10 complaints a month about less-than-pristine cars.
The agency runs 1,000 coach cars and 700 trains a day. "They come out of the yard clean -- but we've got to do some intermediate cleaning along the way," Clifford said.
Currently, Metra uses 269 coach cleaners. The 31 new hires will be divided among the various train lines accordingly: five on the Union Pacific, five on the BNSF, eight on the Milwaukee District, eight on the Electric and five on the Rock Island.

Elvis Dumervil doesn't want this to be about money.
An NFL source familiar with the Dumervil free-agent proceedings said the pass rusher's primary consideration in picking between the Broncos, the Baltimore Ravens and possibly another team or two: He wants to feel wanted.
And what Dumervil has been trying to wrestle with in recent days is the fact that the Broncos cut him, even though there may have been a series of bizarre events that led to his release.
Regardless of what led to it, in Dumervil's mind, the Broncos cut him. Peyton Manning had the same feelings last year with the Indianapolis Colts. It may have been a no-brainer decision for the Colts to release Manning in lieu of paying him $35 million after he missed an entire season because of four neck surgeries — while at the same time, Indianapolis had a ready, younger replacement in Andrew Luck available with the No. 1 draft pick.
It still took Manning a few days to deal with the fact he essentially was fired.
Dumervil is experiencing similar feelings. That's not to say he won't choose to re-sign with the Broncos, the only team he has played for in his seven-year NFL career. But the source said Dumervil wanted to pray and sleep on his decision Friday night.
The Dumervil saga has been the most protracted, twisted contract saga in Broncos history. So what's another day?
It started a month ago when the Broncos sought to reduce Dumervil's $12 million salary in 2013. After some bargaining tussles, both sides agreed on a reduction to $8 million in 2013 — only to have the revised paperwork not get transmitted in time to beat a 2 p.m. March 15 deadline to NFL headquarters in New York.
The Broncos then released Dumervil, a three-time Pro Bowler, to free agency by terminating his original contract to avoid guaranteeing the $12 million salary.
After spending a week in free agency, Dumervil received offers from the Broncos and the Super Bowl champion Ravens.
If it was about money, the source said, Dumervil already would have re-signed with the Broncos because through most of the week in which he has been a free agent, his former team still had the best offer on the table.
The Ravens have since come close to matching the Broncos' three-year offer, according to an NFL source. Dumervil's camp has said at least one more team is involved in discussions.
If Dumervil decides against re-signing with the Broncos, they are prepared to sign one of two veteran defensive ends — John Abraham or Dwight Freeney.
Meanwhile, another former Broncos defensive player who was released to free agency this month, longtime starting linebacker D.J. Williams, signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Bears. Williams is expected to replace Brian Urlacher at middle linebacker.
Urlacher approached superstar status during his career with the Bears, but they released him Thursday.

The media stopped reporting news long ago and now reports on what many in this country want. Dirt, gossip, salacious details about who is sleeping with whom, who is the father of each new baby born out of wedlock or whether Britney is wearing underwear.
In America there is a growing hunger for the lowest level of human depravity that can be found. Jerry Springer and Maury Povich should bring tears to every viewer's eyes, yet they evoke laughter as the viewer is entertained by the pain and sickness of the weakest among us. It has reached staggering proportions, and there is no end in sight as to just how far the media conglomerates will go to dredge up the filth they package as news.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A bill to allow Oklahomans who receive a concealed carry permit to openly carry holstered firearms is heading to Gov. Mary Fallin.
The Senate voted 33-10 on Thursday to approve the bill over the objections of some Democrats who say it could pose problems for law enforcement officers. The bill now heads to Gov. Mary Fallin, who has indicated her support of an open carry law. If she signs it, the bill will become effective Nov. 1.
Retired Oklahoma City police officer and Oklahoma City Democrat Sen. Al McAffrey says he's concerned that people openly carrying weapons could cause confusion for officers who arrive on the scene of a crime.
A similar open-carry bill passed a House committee on Thursday.

Story highlights
- Michael Jackson's ex-wife is set to testify in his wrongful death trial
- Rowe, mother of two of Jackson's children, primarily stays out of the spotlight
- AEG Live will call Rowe to testify in its defense
Debbie Rowe has said she doesn't want fame. But as Michael Jackson's ex-wife and the mother of two of his children, she may now be thrust into the center of the latest high-profile trial related to the superstar's death.
Rowe is set to testify this week at the wrongful death trial that Jackson's family has brought against entertainment giant AEG Live.
A lawsuit filed by the Jackson family claims that the concert promoter is liable for the death of Jackson because it hired Dr. Conrad Murray, who treated the superstar with propofol, a surgical anesthetic, to help him sleep. A coroner ruled that the superstar's death was caused by an overdose of the drug.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for Jackson's death in 2011.
While the trial thus far has largely focused on key players involved in Jackson's comeback "This Is It" tour, it now turns to Rowe, who has largely shunned the spotlight since divorcing Michael Jackson in the 1990s.
AEG Live will call Rowe to testify, and because of her close relationship with Jackson, she could bring some unique insights on the pop singer's life.
Rowe, 54, currently lives on a horse farm in Palmdale, California, about an hour north of Los Angeles.
She and Jackson met while Rowe was working as a dermatology nurse in Los Angeles for Dr. Arnold Klein. Klein had been the singer's personal friend and dermatologist for years. After Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo in the 1980s, he visited the doctor frequently.
Rowe has said in interviews that her friendship with Jackson grew over the course of these visits, and that Jackson expressed a deep desire to become a father. Rowe said she desperately wanted to give him that gift, and they struck an agreement that she would bear his children.
"He was upset because he really wanted to be a dad," Rowe said in a 2003 interview with ABC News. "I said, 'So, be a dad.' He looked at me puzzled. That is when I looked at him and said. 'Let me do this. I want to do this. You have been so good to me. You are such a great friend. Please let me do this. You need to be a dad, and I want you to be.' "
It was while she was pregnant with their first child, Prince, that they wed in Australia in 1996. A year later, Rowe gave birth to their second child, a daughter named Paris. Rowe has said that Jackson was overjoyed by fatherhood and took full responsibility for raising the children.
Their marriage, however, did not last. The couple divorced in 1999, and Rowe went on to relinquish custodial rights over their two children. In 2004, however, Rowe tried to reverse that decision when the singer faced child abuse charges. Though she did not win custody, Jackson was ordered to pay her $60,000 in legal fees.
Then in 2005, during Jackson's highly publicized molestation trial, Rowe came to her ex-husband's defense and claimed in court that he was a supportive and loving father, though she admitted she had not seen Jackson or her children for several years. The pop star was eventually acquitted on all counts.
Shortly after the trial, Rowe moved to Palmdale and continued to live a life out of the limelight until Jackson's death in 2009. Since Jackson's passing, Rowe has reportedly become a permanent fixture in her children's lives and has grown close to daughter Paris. After the 15-year-old's failed suicide attempt June 5, Rowe tweeted about Paris, "She is strong like her father."

It's been two years since nearly 400 pigs at Pig Tales Sanctuary were euthanized after state and federal officials determined most of them were carrying diseases and posed a public health risk.
BUNNELL — It's been two years since nearly 400 pigs at Pig Tales Sanctuary were euthanized after state and federal officials determined most of them were carrying diseases and posed a public health risk, but Lory Yazurlo, the pigs' owner, isn't going to let it pass without notice.
"I'm going to have a celebration," she said in a recent phone call. "I want people to remember their senseless slaughter."
Yazurlo has renamed the sanctuary Angels in Heaven Farm.
She has maintained she wasn't given due process and never knew of the final hearing when County Judge Sharon Atack signed the order to give control of the animals to the county. One week's time passed between the signing of the order and the euthanization of the pigs.
Flagler County spokesman Carl Laundrie said at the time the decision was made based on the recommendations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Florida Department of Agriculture.
The court order forbade Yazurlo, now 49, from keeping pigs for one year. The former truck driver who was left quadriplegic after a 1991 crash said she was victimized by the Flagler Humane Society, which was supposed to help her.
"They gave me some of the pigs that I had out there, " she said then of the 389 pigs that were corralled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, herded onto semitrailers and gassed as they were transported to Starke for disposal. "They gave me 15 pigs one time, and eight of them were pregnant. Each of them had about six babies. That's a lot of pigs."
None of the Humane Society officials she spoke of are with the organization today.
"The only things I know about the pigs are what I've read," said board president Diane Voigt.
Yazurlo has been "laying low," but is now ready to hold a memorial for her pigs.
Since the swine were euthanized, one of National Geographic "Taboo: Hoarders" episodes featured Yazurlo, and Flagler County officials made ordinance changes to regulate large and small animal sanctuaries.
Yazurlo said at the time the National Geographic special report aired that she is not a hoarder. She said a lot happened "behind the scenes" to sabotage her efforts to care of her pigs, such as fencing and gate locks being cut, allowing her pigs to roam and putting her out of compliance with court orders.
She would have to apply to become a "permitted special exemption" for a sanctuary on her property, which is located in an agricultural district in western Flagler County.
"On 10 acres, she would be limited to 50 animals," Laundrie said Thursday if Yazurlo re-established the property as a nonprofit rescue.
Yazurlo's celebration will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at her property at 596 County Road 90 East. Three horses and a dog that guards them live their now.
"I've had the one horse since I was in my 20s," Yazurlo said. "I wasn't forbidden from keeping animals, just pigs."
Louisey, a pot-belly mix pig, will greet visitors, and Yazurlo will show a different documentary made about Pig Tales called "When Pigs Fly." The pot-belly pig belongs to a friend of Yazurlo's.
Voigt has no issue with a pig returning to the property.
"As long as she is following the law, I have no problem with it," she said.

Democratic Republic of the Congo: responding to the most urgent needs in North Kivu
11-07-2012 News Release 12/143
Geneva/Kinshasa (ICRC) – The humanitarian situation and the security of thousands of inhabitants of North Kivu province are becoming increasingly unpredictable and unsettled due to continuing clashes, such as those between the government forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the March 23 Movement (M23).
Over the past few days, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Red Cross Society of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have evacuated 32 war-wounded patients (31 military personnel and one civilian) from the Rutshuru territory for emergency treatment.
"Violence is also occurring in other territories in the province – for example, north of Ntoto, in the Masisi territory, where we evacuated two women in ill health and four war-wounded people by helicopter," said Frédéric Boyer, the head of the ICRC sub-delegation in Goma. "Four children separated from their parents, including a baby whose mother was killed, were also transferred out of the area."
Some 17,500 displaced people in Katoyi, also in the Masisi territory, were provided with tarpaulins, blankets and other emergency supplies on 6 July. In southern Lubero territory, in the north of the province, a war casualty and three people handed over to the ICRC after having been captured were withdrawn to safety by the organization.
"In areas where M23 and government forces are present, some people are now fleeing the fighting, while others are starting to return," said Mr Boyer. "To respond as quickly as possible to the most urgent needs, our health, water and hygiene specialists and other staff are with the people in the cities of Bunagana, Kinyoni, Ntamugenga and Kiwanja, and nearby areas."
To avoid any risk of the cholera outbreak in the Rwanguba area spreading further, the ICRC delivered 15,000 litres of clean drinking water to the local hospital on 8 July and installed two 15,000-litre reservoirs.
The fact that the parties to the conflict recognize the ICRC as a neutral and independent humanitarian organization is indispensable to the action it is taking in behalf of those most in need of help.
In North Kivu province, ICRC delegates also continue to visit people detained in connection with the conflict to assess the conditions in which they are held and the treatment they receive.
The ICRC is still reminding all parties to the conflict of their obligation to spare the injured, the detained and civilians, and their property.

Star Citizen continues to tease us with what the future of gaming looks like. Spoiler-alert: it will be pretty. A new commercial for the game's Hornet crafts is rendered in real-time (in 4K, no less), running on super-computers that will make your current rig cry.
Of course, this is a commercial after all, and the commercial's real purpose isn't simply to make your mouth drop. No, it's to get you to buy things. The game's store has been updated with Hornets, and they're quite pricey. The "Weekend Warrior" package, for example, goes for $185.
No wonder the game has been so successful with its crowdfunding, with the game well on its way to making $25 million. Perhaps this video will make you consider joining the Shackfleet as well.
BOOM video 16305
Don't forget you can also download the high-res version from us too.
Shacknews' crowdfunding policy requires games to have a prototype for front-page coverage.

Following decisions by its unions to go on strike, BART spokesperson, Rick Rice, said, "We have a long way to go, but we can't get any closer if we aren't at the table. We reached tentative agreements on 11 items today and we should use that momentum to reach a deal. Walking away doesn't do any good.
The BART proposal provides an 8 percent wage increase over four years and a lower pension and healthcare participation.
"We regret to say that after waiting for hours, we've received no new proposals from BART," said Josie Mooney, SEIU Local 1021 spokesperson. "A strike is always the last resort and we have done everything in our power to avoid it."

A shaver built to race car perfection. See and feel the precision, the materials, the surfaces, the ergonomics. Touch the rubberized dot pattern for perfect hold even in wet conditions.
Get back 100% shaving performance.
What's the difference between foil and rotary shavers?Rotary shavers are designed to work with cyclical movements while Braun foil shavers are designed to work with efficient sideways movements on the skin giving perfect control and precision. The foils protect the skin from irritation and are specifically designed to deliver the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun.
What's the difference between the different Series 5 models?The 5090cc model comes with high quality metal surfaces and has the most advanced display among Braun Series 5 shavers: a very precise 5 level battery status indicator with low charge warning as well as a travel lock and hygiene indicator. On top, the 5090cc features the advanced Intelligent Clean&Charge Station from Braun: it cleans, charges, lubricates and selects cleaning program at the touch of a button - so your shaver feels like new every day. For more information about the rest of the Series 5 range, please consult the Series 5 Model overview.
Why would I need a Clean&Charge Station when I can clean my Series 5 shaver under tap water? Our tests show that cleaning your shaver with a Clean&Charge Station is significantly more hygienic than cleaning it under the tap. It's also more convenient: at the touch of a button your shaver is cleaned, charged and lubricated automatically.
I already have a Cleaning Center from my previous Braun shaver (Syncro, Activator, 360, etc.). Can I use it with the new Series 5 shaver?No, the Series 5 marks the introduction of a new generation of shavers with fully revamped technology and cant be used with previous Cleaning Centers.
Can I buy a solo shaver and upgrade with a Clean&Charge Station later?No, shaver and Clean&Charge Station are designed to interlink during the cleaning procedure. Shavers being sold without the Clean&Charge Station, dont have the technology to connect accordingly.
How often do I need to exchange the Clean&Charge refill cartridge? If you clean your shaver with the Clean&Charge Station twice a week, you will only need to replace the refill cartridge every 2 to 3 months to experience a shaver like new, every day. The Save & Subscribe option from Amazon allows you to subscribe for a regular home delivery and at the same time save 10% on the price of the Clean&Charge refill. You don't have to think about it and always have a Clean&Charge refill available when you need it.
Do you have any recommendation on how to shave with an electric foil shaver?We recommend that you shave before you take a shower. After a few days without shaving, for example over a weekend, you should trim your stubble before you shave. Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to your skin. In difficult to shave areas like under the nose you can also use the MultiHeadLock switch to lock the shaver head and manually set one of five available shaver head angles as it suits best to your needs. Keep the pressure even to achieve the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun. To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, Series 5 features an integrated precision trimmer with superior cutting performance. In order to use this comfortable and precise tool, simply slide the trimmer upwards.
How often do I need to change the shaver head?We recommend replacing all cutter parts every 18 months.
Does the battery have a memory effect as we know it from cell phones or laptops?No, the Series 5 shavers use a Li-ion battery which has no memory effect. You can recharge it whenever you want and it has a low self-discharge rate (vs. NiMh batteries). Li-Ion batteries are therefore the most powerful and long-lasting batteries available for Braun shavers.
