Here are a couple of things to bring posts up to date. For some reason the last few days have been very busy, with a lot of time being spent out of the house. The normally full "well of sarcasm" was also pretty much empty this week, but will have been replenished in time for next Friday. However, I have run Windows "Life Defragmenter" over my diary, and have emerged in good fettle to take on what ever next week will produce.

On WTKA, to the Big Show. Lloyd, in 3 parts:
Did he say "tremendous?"
Anything juicy about RR and how much LLoyd hates his guts? /s
But seriously, is there anything juicy? I'm too lazy to listen to the whole thing, and I have a calc IV exam to study for.
Was not mentioned a single time. He talked about Bo, Mo, Bennie Oosterbaan, etc. Not a word about the current coaching staff or teams.
...speaks volumes. Either he just is playing coy, or he knows something about the length of RR's tenure that would make supportive comments "uncomfortable."
Of course, he could simply detest RR as well, but I would think he would rise above that and at least provide some verbal support to help stabilize the program.
Lloyd Carr is retiring well before RRs fate will be revealed. Carr has stated many times over that he wants to stay out of RRs way, because it is his program. He said that he will assist RR whenever he asks for it. I think its best that Lloyd gets to talk about all the wonderful years he spent at UM and not have to speak about RR.
Maybe this interview was more of a recap/retrospective on Carr's career and therefore not really the venue, but I'm surprised he hasn't taken on more of a cheerleader/promoter/ambassador role for the program at any point since his retirement (especially considering he has still been getting paid by the Michigan AD). You would think some mention of the current team would have to come out at some point, even if it just revolved around seeing guys he had recruited/coached finish out their careers. Maybe those who followed more closely than I did after Bo retired know better, but I would imagine this sort of interview happening with him prompting some discussion filled with platitudes about how the team needs to work hard and stay focused, but that things are looking good for next season and he likes player x, y, or z. That or some joke about how it is easier/harder to watch as a fan. Am I crazy on this one? We really haven't seen any of that and it really has nothing to do with Rodriguez or Carr's relationship with him (meaning he could easily talk about the team without really getting into anything about Rodriguez or his situation).
Am I crazy on this one?
I really don't think so.
Carr has stated many times over that he wants to stay out of RRs way, because it is his program. He said that he will assist RR whenever he asks for it.
Many times? Can you elaborate? I remember Carr saying this once. And then never speaking RR's name again. I would be interested in learning of these 'times.' They would go a long way toward changing perceptions.
has brushed off questions about RR since he took the job. I can not point out specific articles because I do not remember which they are. I just remember reading that Carr had offered to assist RR when he needed it, but otherwise he was trying to step back and let RR put his mark on the program and it wasn't LCs place to speak about RR.
Sorry I can't peg specific articles.
"new stadium is going to be a tremendous advantage"
From the still at work club: "Summary Please?"
Lloyd is allergic to the words "Rich" and "Rodriguez."
In the 20+ minutes, not once was the name Rodriguez mentioned.
It is as if he thinks the program ended when he stopped coaching.
It's just been taking a nap...of which we woke up from last Spring. Wisconsin 08 and ND 09 were abrupt snores.
No way - Carr loves the program and continues to do a lot for it. A better way to put it is that it's as if the head coach position disappeared when he stopped coaching. It's as if he is in a vacuum. How can one talk about something that no longer exists?
I chose the word "interesting".
After all, it's Jeter who has the Michigan connection.
No one said he was 'required' to, but it is interesting nonetheless that he never talks about the current coach (that I am aware of). I know that I have seen many interviews in which past coaches give their opinions about their successors or at least their successor's teams. That Carr is never asked about nor ever volunteers any reference to RR or the current team, is, at the very least, curious.
Am I the only one who really doesn't like Jeff DeFran? He was fine during this interview, but I'm generally not a fan, although I've only listened to him a few times. Any fans/haters of DeFran out there?
A relic who lives in the past if ever there was one...bitter and angry at being left behind in the media and it shows...pathetic
I can't stand that lumpy sack of shit. He's thrown out some nasty unsubstantiated rumors about the coaching staff, claiming he heard them from his "inside source"....Even after Bruce Madej called him ON AIR to tell him he's way off base, Defran kept on ranting about how RR was getting canned. It was great hearing him get embarrassed on air by Sam Webb, Ira, and DOTMAN. I really wish he and his crusty old cronies "the beatniks" would just go away.
Sometimes inside info is that which you pull out your ass.
LC's support or non-support for RichRod is entirely irrelevant as regards RichRod's tenure.
I agree with all that you said, but the statement I quoted assumes that I think there is some relationship between RR's tenure and LC's support of him. I do not believe this. I do not believe there is some vast, or even tiny, conspiracy against RR. I am just interested in what LC thinks of RR, their relationship, and why LC hasn't spoken favorably of RR or, at the very least, the current team or the upcoming season. That is undeniably something that raises eyebrows, as is seen in this thread.
Was kind of my point. Not that Lloyd didn't bring it up, rather that in a long interview with the former coach of the Michigan Football team it wasn't mentioned at all.
I think it's odd that people think Lloyd Carr has to speak in some form about the new staff. As if he hasn't done enough for the University and the Athletic Program. The current staff doesn't need anybody to speak on their behalf. They need to do their job (and I believe they will given time) and develop the kids they have in the program, and hopefully win games.
RR was on Sam's show earlier in the day, and did not mention LC once. Didn't offer any platitudes, any wishes of good will. So, should his lack of comment be called into question? Of course not. The interviewer never asked, never gave him a reason to say anything.
Actually, for the conspiracy theorists, maybe RR has made it clear that questions about LC are off limits (after all, he hasn't said anything about LC since his first week, other than alluding to the lack of talent, and his need to build a program), and LC has made it clear that questions about RR are off limts. (For the record, I am not saying that I believe that to be the case.)
Actually, LC had plenty of good things to say about the direction of the program, although it had more to do with Brandon's influence. And RR was positive about the program, and made it clear that it was his job to win games to reward the fans.
I don't think things are all that bad.
How could he do an interview after Lloyd's retirement and say glowing things about his predecessor? It must mean Rich has it out for Lloyd...arrrrggggghhhhh!!!
I mean, silly right? But just as silly as the converse, which comes up all the time. When has Rich really said anything all that nice about Lloyd?
The point is, neither one has to. It has nothing to do with the program winning or not. It's just a salve for people insecure about the program fears.
In the interview he talks about an NFL team contacted him after the '97 season to see if he'd be interested. He slept on it and declined the next day. Very surprising that, one, he was contacted, and two that he had to sleep on it.
Oh, and he declines to name that franchise.
Why would it be surprising that he was contacted by the NFL? He ran a pro-style offense that produced many NFL players, and he had a lights-out defense.
Oh, and he declines to name that franchise.
Are you saying that he's lying about it?
No, I'm not saying he's lying about it. Why would you assume I meant it that way? Just stating that he didn't want to say it on air. I didn't want to be a tease and wanted full clarification for all.
I was surprised because I'd never heard a word about any NFL team ever coming after Lloyd.
Considering the radio host, that's a good thing.
Pretty clear Defran wasn't ever going to ask Carr about the current M team.
I think Lloyd would love to publicly speak positive about the current team, but feels he can't. Hell Lloyd recruited many of these kids, and of course, still feels a great attachment to many of them.
RR made some mistakes in the media in reference to Carr and some of the players on the team, but time and winning will probably heal these issues. Let's hope so, it is awkward to hear Lloyd talk about David Brandon, Mary Sue Coleman and his former teams, but have nary a word to say about the current team.
What could possibly be preventing Carr from speaking positively about the current team if he wants to do so?
...maybe the fact that Rodriguez has repeatedly thrown Carr under the bus for the talent and conditioning of the team when he got there?
To me that would be a reason why he didn't want to speak positively about the current team or the current coach (and not a bad reason at that). If he had the desire to praise the current team/coach, I just don't see anything stopping him from doing so (Coach Carr doesn't seem like the type to let other people or external circumstances control what he can/can't say).
But come on people...stop acting like what Magnus said isn't the case. Even Brian gets a little uncomfortable with Rich's tendency to point fingers....
I actually gave Magnus a +1 for that comment, but I do think that people are playing fast and loose with modifiers like "repeatedly" and "many times over" to describe how the extent of support LC has given RR, and vice versa (perhaps this is why he is getting negged?). We can say things like "Carr repeatedly expressed his support for RichRod", or "RichRod many times over threw Carr under the bus", but it doesn't make it so. In '08 RR said a few things that implicated Carr in terms of 'the cupboard', and Carr said once or twice at the beginning of RR's tenure (or right after his hire) that he supports RR. RR may have pointed his finger, but I dont think it was 'repeatedly' (or purposefully for that matter) at Carr - perhaps only once or twice. Nobody has surfaced evidence of more than a few comments from both, nor from less than 2 years ago. Which is why we are having this discussion.
I would guess that not discussing the current staff was prearranged. He does mention in the second track around 4:50 how much he enjoyed "players who had respect for the tradition of Michigan" and I am sure someone will read into his use of the word "had"
Sill a great listen for people who love Michigan football. It is interesting to see how much more comfortable he is speaking to the media now.
Best of luck Lloyd
hang fiddy on ND, beat MSU and go 8-4, and who gives a rip.
I love Lloyd, but it's time to go. It ain't no picnic for any head coach to have your predecessor knocking around the hallways...
Four words...
Why do people even care. Please stop playing a part in turning following Michigan sports like watching a soap opera.
I hate this entire thread. He's retiring. He did great things for Michigan. Period. Leave it at that. The rest is just bored people triyng to turn my favorite rooting interesting into an episode of Montell Williaks.
I find it awkward and interesting that Lloyd doesn't discuss RR or his team in public. Hearing Lloyd babble on about the energy David Brandon has brought and the great deeds of Mary Sue, but nothing about the current team and RR is awkward.
Hearing Defran talk about bringing Lloyd back on the show again at a later date to talk about Super Conferences or some other bull shit, rings hollow to me.
Lloyd doesn't need to talk about the current team if not inclined, but the silence will continue to be awkward for some of us.
But why does it even matter? Lets stipulate, for the purpose of argument, that Lloyd doesn't like Rodriguez. What now/ What's changed? Are we not 8-16 in the past two years? Does Labadie fill out his paperwork? Does Rodriguez make sure QC coaches aren't at practice? Seriously - this is why Rodriguez is on the hotseat - because he has lost. Carr waxing poeting like Rodriguez was a latter-day Mowgli doesn't get Michigan more wins.
So, again - who cares? Carr's opinion isn't, and hasn't, been relevent.
Disagree, if Lloyd came out with a strong opinion on RR it would be front page news. Lloyd is relevant. I'm not upset with Lloyd or disappointed with him, because I don't know the reason for his silence, and his silence I find interesting.
RR feels like a latter day Mowgli, because Lloyd left him with just the bear necessities
If Carr came out and said, "Rich Rodriguez is a good coach and I'm excited about the direction this program is headed," I think that would pretty much eliminate the hot-seat treatment (at least among the people who count: Michigan fans). The discussion would be about "when" we win X amount of games rather than "what if we only" win X amount of games.
There could be a million reasons why he hasn't done that so it seems silly to speculate, but it is definitely weird to have the former coach conducting an interview as if the football program he was a part of for 28 years no longer exists. At this point in the year, how long can you go in a conversation without bringing up the upcoming football season? It is probably the first thing that comes up when I talk to fellow Michigan fans and gets mentioned in at least the first five minutes when talking to strangers or homeless people who I give change to in exchange for their thoughts on the Tate v. Denard debate.
Instead of saying something like, "Obi Ezeh is a great kid, and I'm really pulling for him to have a bounce back season," (a statement that would have nothing at all to do with Rodriguez), Carr acts like the immediate future of Michigan football is the farthest thing from his mind. Not only is that puzzling, it is a huge missed opportunity to have a positive, well-known, and well-respected ambassador for the program out in the public eye (which is what I thought was Carr's job description the last two years).
Its NOT puzzling. The interview is a retrospective of Lloyd Carr's time at Michigan, because the occassion for the interview is LLOYD CARR'S RETIREMENT. It's not a "temperature check" on the program.
Do people honestly believe that Rodriguez's precarious position is a product of the media, and the lack of institutional support, rather than 8-16? I support Rodriguez. I think he's a good coach. BUT HE HAS LOST TWICE AS MANY GAMES AS HE HAS WON. This is the worst 2 year stretch in the modern-era of Michigan Football. THAT'S why people don't like him. 90% of Michigan fans don't obsessively follow the program on MGoBlog, don't know who the fuck Rosenberg is. They just care that Michigan football has sucked. And there is nothing Lloyd could have said or done to avoid:
a) the attrition
b) the losing
c) the violations
In other words, the CONSTANT Lloyd bashing on this site is a side-show for people who for some reason have less faith in a man who served the Michigan community for over a decade in an always-honorable fashion and led us to our greatest height in the modern era over a seemingly good guy who has been here for 26 months.
Lloyd Carr's comments or post retirement behavior have not effected the results on the field at all. And isn't that what we care about? The results? What else is there to talk about? The attention some people on this blog give ALL this other stuff is nuts. This has nothing to do with wins and losses. So why even get involved?
I said earlier that this interview may not have been the venue, but Carr has at no point that I can remember talked about the current/future Michigan football team. That is strange for anyone who even considers themselves a Michigan fan, much less the former head coach who has been with the athletic department for 30 years. It also wouldn't require any comment on Rodriguez to speak positively about the program (it could all be about the kids and just wanting Michigan to win).
People (if you can call them that) also hate Rodriguez because they think he will continue to lose. Lloyd Carr's silence and lack of openly expressed optimism does have an effect on that view. If he said he was excited about the future of the program and saw things improving, you don't think that would quiet the critics a little?
And this is important because college football is a perception game. How many recruits have said concern about Rodriguez's job security is a big worry for them? Do you think that would be as big a worry if Carr were out trumpeting the future of Michigan football, instead of acting like the program were some disobedient daughter that he no longer talks about because she ran off and got an abortion?
I'm not even blaming Carr or saying it is his responsibility to do any of this. I am merely lamenting a lost opportunity. I don't know why people insist on denying the fact that Lloyd Carr could have and could still have an enormous positive impact as an ambassador/promoter of the program, but that for whatever reason (and it may very well be a super valid reason) he has decided not to do that.
In other words, the CONSTANT Lloyd bashing on this site is a side-show for people who for some reason have less faith in a man who served the Michigan community for over a decade in an always-honorable fashion and led us to our greatest height in the modern era over a seemingly good guy who has been here for 26 months.
I think it goes even further...that those who are so wrapped up in it, have LESS faith in Rich. But they've created a persona that won't allow them to think otherwise, so they have to justification for it. Their confidence has been shaken, and they're whistling past the graveyard. And they have to attack others to justify it.
I think Rich has shown he can coach. Which means, he can do a good job coaching. That's why I don't think 8-4 or something is ridiculous, because, after having a few down seasons, a coach is due for an up one. I think he can win. Those who say they have so much confidence in him...but can't see how we could go more than 6-6...well, either they worry he can't coach, or they are more worried that he hasn't done a good job since getting here.
And if he can't coach at Michigan? He'll be gone soon enough. I'm not going to worry about perceived slights. It's about W and L's. And those don't happen till September.
If Carr came out and said, "Rich Rodriguez is a good coach and I'm excited about the direction this program is headed," I think that would pretty much eliminate the hot-seat treatment (at least among the people who count: Michigan fans).
You can't be serious. Do you honestly think that if he said this, Michigan fans would go, "Welp...I guess we'd be okay with another 5-7 season, as long as Lloyd likes him"?
It wouldn't change a goddamn thing.
Of course fans will not be happy with a string of 5-7 seasons. However, right now there is a perception among a large segment of uninformed Michigan fans that the program has somehow been broken by Rodriguez and is destined for just such an outcome. I am positive Rich Rodriguez would/should be fired if the team goes 5-7 next year, but I also think there is basically zero chance that happens so there is no real use in bringing it up. If Carr expressed the same sort of opinion at any point (that the team is obviously headed in the right direction and can only get better) that would go a long way toward stamping out the unrest among the fanbase. People would be optimistically looking forward to the upcoming turnaround rather than biting their nails about how many losses it will take to get the coach canned.
College football is a perception game to a large extent (people vote to decide the best team and high school players get to decide where they want to go to school, for example). Acting like Lloyd Carr's attitude/comments don't have an impact on the way Michigan is perceived requires a lot of denial.
Or that Lloyd and Rich should be saying this about each other...?
I wish I could give you more than one for the last line. People are getting too bent out of shape over things that people are NOT saying. If Lloyd did say something, regardless if it was positive or negative, they would still get bent out of shape.
Ok. let me set the record straight . I deeply respect lloyd carr and am tremendously grateful for the nat'l title won under his tenure. however, i've been a season ticket holder for nearly 30 years and have seen a lot. Bo gave bump elliott a lot of credit for letting him run his program. the parallels for Bo and RR are many. bump had bo's back. I'm not so sure about lloyd having RR's back. saying nothing is a lot different than giving full support. just saying.
It's just my opinion, but RR had a lot of success at WVU prior to his hire at UM. Lloyd had tenure. he was the only guy left after moeller was let go. if lloyd was the be all end all, he would have been grabbed by another program. but it didn't happen. why? mccartnery, nehlon, et al, all got grabbed. why not lloyd?
anyway, my point is not to bash lloyd, but he obviously hasn't put 100% support behind RR. and that should happen for anyone who's received his livelihood from an institution the past 30 years. just sayin.
RR will be successful, if given everyone's full support. OK. enough with my rant. i look forward to the UConn opening game...
It's just my opinion, but RR had a lot of success at WVU prior to his hire at UM. Lloyd had tenure. he was the only guy left after moeller was let go. if lloyd was the be all end all, he would have been grabbed by another program. but it didn't happen. why? mccartnery, nehlon, et al, all got grabbed. why not lloyd?
I'm not sure what your point is, and I bet you don't, either.
Carr mentioned that he was contacted by the NFL, but turned down the opportunity.
Programs don't get much (any?) bigger than Michigan's, especially in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Why would he go to another program?
You're saying that he should have gone the way of such coaching legends as...Don Nehlen.
Did Bo ever say about Bump "well, he left me some talent..but boy, were they a bunch of fat lazy asses". Because, while it may have been technically true, Bo never put anything negative on Bump. Bo acknowledged Bump could have made things really tough on him. And didn't. And Lloyd COULD really make things tough on Rich...but hasn't. For which he should be a bit more grateful.
And BTW, Lloyd was all set to become the head coach at MSU...when Bo basically forbid it. Who says so? Bo. So, apparently Bo was more concerned about coaching against Carr than all these other guys who got grabbed...
Support doesn't win football games. Rich will win if he and his staff and his players do a better job. They should be able to, they've shown the ability in the past. But words aren't going to win football games.
The whole thing was strange, I agree. Maybe a case of better off not having done the interview because of how it is being interpreted.
I would bet since Jeff DeFran was doing the interview, it was pre-established that the interview would be kept to the past, and at no point move into speculation about today's program.
This thread somehow got more dumb overnight
Again, please quit turning Michigan football into As The World Turns. Stick to Scout or MLive if you want to parse every damn thing.
Just let the man retire. He's done more for the unviersity through this day than any of you mopes who somehow want to question his loyalty. Give it a rest you tin foil hat wearing loons
Lloyd is uncomfortably avoiding the elephant in the room is in no way bashing our former coach. It does speak volumes about how he views the current staff and what is going on. I agree that Lloyd's opinion of the situtation would have no effect on how the team will play, but it does effect how some of the fanbase view the current staff.
I think he is not being a Michigan Man by clearly undermining our current staff. Bo would never have done this, and even if he hated RR he would support the team publicly. I know that Lloyd isn't Bo, but come on man - we need all the support we can get. Some of the things RR said about the team's situation when he arrived were 100% true - whether it hurts or not. GROW UP LLOYD - we need you right now and you're leaving us hanging in the wind like an x-girlfriend.
Silence "speaks volumes"???
Silence doesn't say one motherfucking thing unless you're putting words in his closed mouth. Which...you are.
And again - IT DOESN'T MATTER. Show me how Lloyd's silence impacts 8-16. Please.
that his opinion has nothing to do with how the team performs. Lloyd could post a youtube video of himself dressed as a panda on a tightrope and it would stilll have no effect on the team, or the record. IT DOES EFFECT OUR FANBASE. That is my only point. There are people out there who might give RR a bit more support if Lloyd said they should. How hard is it for him to come out publicly and say that he is "all in" for Michigan and that he supports the team and the coach? He's spending tons more energy by not saying anything.
As far as the "silence" and me putting words into his mouth - let me ask you this: If you were going to interview Lloyd would you ask about the current state of the team and its direction? Of course you would, unless you were commanded not to bring it up. This is obviously the case, and if you don't think that says something about how Lloyd feels, you're dumber than I thought.
Of course you would, unless you were commanded not to bring it up. This is obviously the case, and if you don't think that says something about how Lloyd feels, you're dumber than I thought.
Ah. Ad hominem always works well.
When you stop operating in a world where your pet theories are considered unimpeachable fact, you'll be worth debating with.
You want LLOYD CARR to prove he's "All In" for Michigan? Who the fuck are you? I have never heard a more preposterous thing uttered. The day that the man who worked for this University and contributed as much as he did to the school's community needs to prove to "Internet Commenter Guy" that he cares about the University is sort of sad.
Let's say my "pet theory" that Lloyd is not supportive of RR, does not like what is going on, etc.. is wrong. Why then does he refuse to comment on the team, coach, situation? Why does he seem like he's talking about a school who used to play football in the past? Why does he refuse to comment on the present?
Obviously Lloyd was all about Michigan and will always be. You're absolutely right that I am nobody and that he has done more for UM than I ever could. I'm just saying that if he just said two sentences about RR and the team in a positive light, it would go a long way for some of the nay-sayers in our fanbase. I don't question whether he cares about the University - I just want his help in our time of need.
Google is your friend
If you need to search the internet to prove his support, that support probably hasn't been all that strong. I don't think anybody needs to hit up Google to find out if say, Jim Brandstatter, supports the current coaching staff.
A gruff response only prompted by the fact that Carr sat with opposing fans during the Iowa game doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement to me or anyone else who read that article.
If you need to search the internet to prove his support, that support probably hasn't been all that strong.
So we shouldn't, you know, consult the official record to see if something is true or not, we should guage the public perception of idiots? Carr has publicly supported Rodriguez. It's up to the public whether they choose to acknowledge it.
Like this:
"Rich is a young guy, (and) he's got a great background for such a young guy," Carr said during his interview with Frank Beckmann and Jim Brandstatter. "What we're seeing here offensively throughout this season is a great thing for the future of Michigan football.
"The transition a year ago you could expect (the struggles) because what they were looking for in a quarterback. Certainly what we have here is exciting. I'm excited for the future."
"I've had a lot of conversations with Rich Rodriguez down through the last 18, 20 months, and I told him from the beginning if he needed me for any reason, just call me," Carr said.
"I did not want to be a coach who's at practice and hanging around and answering questions from the media about what I saw. I didn't think that was good for Rich or our program."
Carr said it was "ridiculous" to suggest that he didn't support the program, and noted that he was "absolutely not" a candidate for the AD position.
So what do you want the man to do? He's had many conversations with Rich. He's offered his help. He doesn't want to interfere. He thinks Rich's tough first year was perfect valid (he said this before the PSU game, so the losses had yet to really come). Rich's offense is a "great thing" for Michigan football. He's excited.
What do you want? Lloyd wearing a sandwich board with "I LOVE RICHROD" on it?
EDIT: You added more actually supportive statements before I could respond.
I haven't said Carr should've been more supportive or that he has to. All I said is that a more vocal, positive presence from him would be a huge positive for the program, and we haven't really gotten that the last two years
In other words, "I don't care how many quotes you pull out to prove I'm wrong, I'm going to repeat the same bullshit until I'm blue in the face."
Do you honestly think Lloyd Carr couldn't have been any more supportive of the current coaching staff or more positive/optimistic about the future of the program than he has the last two years? I'm not saying he should have but obviously he could have, and if he had done so (or chooses to do so in the future) I think it would have a great positive impact on the public perception of our program (which, like I said, is extremely important for recruiting, the lifeblood of any college football program).
Wouldn't Rich saying more nice things about Lloyd maybe engender more outward comments about Rich? I mean, everyone saying "Bo always supported them"....well, he was AD, solely so he could choose who would be coach....and might not have been so happy he hadn't. But beyond that....and for obvious reasons....Mo and Lloyd et al. always revered Bo, publicly and privately. And I'm guessing you'd find an even HARDER time finding quotes from Rich saying nice things about Lloyd than the contrary. And how much would it change the program...? Probably not a lick more...but no more or less Lloyd saying anything. But I guess, in our perception world I keep hearing about, it might make it sound like the Michigan program was evolving, instead of being overhauled, and that there was still a big happy family. Perception-wise, at least.
It would have been nice if there had been more direct engagement by both parties at the time of the hiring and less of the butt-hurt drama from both sides that has followed (and been ridiculously exacerbated by the pro-Lloyd v. pro-RR debate among fans). You would think with Carr still working in the AD there could have been a more coordinated, unified front, but I guess everyone was too busy filling out practice forms (ooops).
My main point is that the program seems to have missed the opportunity to have Carr (who I think is far more charismatic than people give him credit) continuing to act as a positive public face for the football program. Having him on TV or the radio joking about who would win a race between Denard and Navarre, or hyping up the stadium expansion, or talking about players to watch next year could really help the program's public image (and wouldn't really require Carr and Rodriguez to be best buds, if they aren't). For whatever reason this hasn't happened (maybe Rodriguez is the one putting a stop to it, who knows) and that to me is a shame.
With posts like this. Grow up Lloyd? Really? It's ok, if it's true, even if it hurts? So, if he came out and said, boy, Rich has done a crappy job so far...I mean, look at how much he's lost...that never used to happen at Michigan...it'd be ok, because it's "true"? Who cares if it hurts or not....
Why can't everyone just give Lloyd his dang props and move on?
get off the man's jock strap already.
didn't LC say he supports RR and will do anything asked of him by the current staff?
I'm late for work now, but this has been fun to debate. I have to say that I respect your opinion and that I just don't agree. Go Blue!
Unfortunately for you, your argument is based upon the incorrect premise that Lloyd Carr does not "supporst" Coach Rodriguez. He's gone on the record directly refuting what you think is implied by his "silence."
So, yeah, bow down to the King.
I've been critical of Lloyd in the past for his somewhat muted support for the new regime. The key words in that sentence are "somewhat muted." During his post-Florida victory interview he was asked about the future and I recall his saying "I want them to win every game." On two other occasions that I remember, he has gone on record as supporting RichRod. So there's that. But neither has he been particularly effusive in his support, a la Mike Bellotti with Chip Kelly or Bo with Gary (two examples that just leaped to mind; I'm sure there are others).
I think there are now two main explanations for LC's behavior:
At this point, there is no real way to adjudicate between (1) and (2). So, in the absence of discriminating information, I choose to believe (1). Other people may feel differently, but I think we should all be honest that we really have no fucking actual idea about what the right answer is.
Mike Belotti is the AD of Oregon, Chip Kelly's boss, and the man who hired Kelly.
Bo and Moeller were both at one time bosses of Carr, and both hired him.
Carr had no prior relationship with Rodriguez.
Absolutely true, and I wasn't trying to argue that the situations are equivalent. They are not equivalent, for the reasons you mention.
My only point is (and has been) about optics and small-p politics. There have been three questions raised by this whole transition:
A 3rd option is a combination of your 2 possibilities (my edits in italics)
3. He totally supports Michigan, and by extension RichRod, and he just really really really hates talking to the media about much of anything, but especially controversial things. However, on a personal level, he secretly dislikes RichRod and, due to being a man who doesn't lie or sugar coat, he will only do the barest of minima to offer enough in the way of lukewarm support for RR himself (not the program in general), that he doesn't get raked over the coals publicly (pretty sure he doesn't read or care about MGoBlog).
We undertake the risk of nuclear war. It seems one of us here should be a coward? So, I guess I'll be.
A third option would be to strike a deal. Trade our missiles in Turkey for theirs in Cuba ....
Wait ... What were we talking about?
We know that Carr fully supports Michigan. Why can't some accept that for whatever personal reasons, he has been less than effusive in public praise of RR?
So should the media now ask RR: Are you disappointed in Carr? Do you wish he supported you more? Are you enemies? Did you have him fired? RR can't win with those questions, any more than Carr can with talking about RR.
Carr, if anything, has always been classy. Supposing he isn't best buds with RR, what good would it do to say anything?
RR has always been his own man too . . . he doesn't need Carr to prop him up.
On thing that bugs me . . . while I liked Bo, he seems to get a free pass from Blue fans, when Carr was the one with the NC.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: I loved Carr, but it was time for him to retire, and I'm thrilled RR is our current coach, and fervently hope he will have a successful season, particularly in the win loss columns.
DeFran actually had something worth listening to when they promo'd it, and people either don't listen, or are out of state...a nice chat, with a retiring hero...thought people might be interested, or have missed it.
Instead, it takes like one post for it to deteriorate into..."Whhhhyyyyyyy doesn't everyone love Rich Rod as much as I do" insecure bullshit. And another half dozen I have had zero impact on the program or school people telling a guy who has given 30 years to the school, and more than some guy on the internet's whole lineage will every give to the University how to be a real "Michigan Man".
Get a grip. Rich will win. Or he will lose. Your hurt feelings will not help or hinder him in any way. Either REALLY believe in Rich, and believe he can coach, and WILL win....Or don't. But stop trying to tear everyone down to make you feel better about your shaken confidence in what you were once so sure in (because he HAD to be better than Lloyd...and after complaining, and getting the change I wanted...it MUST STILL BE LLOYD'S FAULT WE'RE NOT WINNING!!!) Jeeze.

Revenues, Taxes, and Government Growth
This chart contrasts total federal revenues with the portion that comes from individual income tax receipts. Here we see that the biggest source or rising tax revenues has been income taxes, since they have risen at a much faster rate. One reason for the sluggish growth in total revenues, of course, is the cut in social security withholding rates that has been in place for the past year and is quite likely to be continued. The chart also highlights the fact that since the Bush tax cuts were first instituted in mid-2003, income tax receipts are now substantially higher—36% higher (almost $300 billion on an annual basis)—than they were when tax rates were higher. Once again, we see here concrete evidence that Art Laffer's vision (and his famous curve) was anything but crazy: lower tax rates can promote stronger growth, and thus result in higher tax revenues. If it weren't for the 20080-9 recession, which had everything to do with a collapse of the housing bubble and a 6 million decline in the number of private sector jobs, and almost nothing to do with low tax rates, both the economy and tax revenues would now be considerably higher.
lots of graphs and more analysis
My thoughts: Looking at the chart it should be obvious that the recession lowered tax revenues, not "the Bush tax cut".

I commend you on trying to figure this one out but I would recommend soliciting the advice of experienced collectors on anything like this.
Here are the hardest helmets to identify for collectors as real and legitimate, with number 1 being the toughest.
3. Camo painted helmets.
2. SS helmets.
1. Wire helmets.
Multiply by a degree of 2 for any combination. Multiply by a factor of 8 for all 3.
Rarity of SS helmets after black SS are camos, then Wire SS. A Camo Wire SS, is like finding a 10 pound gold nugget in your dog's business. It just doesn't happen.
My point is this. Flying solo trying to identify a wire camo SS as a real one is very dangerous tightrope walking indeed. Myself I would send pics out to other trusted SS helmet collectors for opinions before I dropped the cash and even then an in hand would be very critical. Speaking of cash, a real wire SS camo, in this kind of condition I can see topping $30-35 K - easy. Something tells me the asking price of this is nowhere near that on Craig's List.
Looking at this one with the ever critical eye, the wire has and paint have what looks like a faux interaction, the camo is unconvincing as period painted and the decal appears to be a Pocher on an ET M40 which appears to be a Luftwaffe painted interior. Pochers on anything M40 is very very rare and almost always reissued. This shows no evidence of being reissued as they are typically grey painted. The decal certainly has a flat appearance to it, and appears unconvincing as a period decal from the pics provided.
So it's fake?
Judging by these pics the decal appears to be a reproduction. Can u try n get close up shots of the decal? Would like to try an ID this type of fake. By the way, what's the asking price?
I asked for close up pictures of the decals and no response. For this and a Fallschirmjäger helmet was 6200 dollars. I thought he was selling something that he didn't know the value of or looked in a old price guide....
- - Updated - -
Here it is http://southjersey.craigslist.org/clt/3343831610.html
If that helmet was the real deal he wouldn't try n sell it on CL.
I've found real stuff that checked out on here for good deals. from craigslist.
I think you'll find the odd good item on CL but a wire camo SS and a FJ helmet for $6000, the seller knows exactly what he's doing.
I do not like the decal,sorry.

About the Movie
A retired security guard (Robert De Niro), deeply conservative and set in his ways, falls victim to a debilitating stroke. His doctors prescribe an extensive program of physical therapy once he's released from the hospital, including singing lessons to help him regain his full powers of speech. As it turns out, there's a vocal instructor living next door to the guard, so he signs up only to discover that his new teacher is a flamboyant drag queen awaiting a sex-change operation (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: So awful it just might put an end to Hollywood's hypocritical infatuation with men in drag as symbols of its own supposedly liberated sexual attitudes.
Fresh: It says a lot for Joel Schumacher's Flawless that you can see the picture's high-concept heart a mile away and still be won over by it.
Rotten: Outdated and schematic, this two-character melodrama belongs to the 1970s, when transsexuals were "novel" dramatic persona; even the gifted Philip Seymour Hoffman is defeated by the writing and direction.
Fresh: "Flawless" is contrived and overly schematic, but De Niro and Hoffman are such good actors that it never slips into pat sentiment.
Customer Reviews
Very good
It's been a while, but as I recall this is an excellent film!
I've always been a DeNiro fan, his performance on this film is terrific... Seymour Hoffman on the other hand overpasses DeNiro's acting, I still don't know why he didn't get an Oscar nomination!!! excellent movie, a must buy!
Hoffman gives one of his best performances in this movie, and he should have received an Oscar. He plays a seemingly happy drag queen, but his soul is tortured. He outshines De Niro !!

Words are metaphor sound containers wanting to be opened, interviewed and heard. I have never met a word that didn't want to be heard. Even hard to believe-in words want to be pronounced. Like Holocaust. Like Rape. Like Shame.
Imagine not being able to announce these words as travesties and creations of heartless men. What if there was no way to shout No, never again?
Voice gives words a power that they would never have if they were only read.
Yesterday I interviewed the word "Love" Today I will interview the word "Hate".
Poetman: You seem to be everywhere at all times, where do you get the energy?
Hate: I have a secret fuel source. A vitamin if you will, that gives me all the energy I need. The source is inexhaustible. So I am confident that I will never die.
Poetman: Never die? Wow. "Hate" you seem so confident of that, how can you be so sure?
Hate: As long as there are strangers, I live. As long as there is fear, I live. As long as there is difference, I live. I am an I. I have a self. I am contrast. I am the antidote to fear.
Poetman: What's in the sound container of the word hate?
Hate: That's an interesting question. You see the word hate first starts as a deeply internalized reaction to an emotion that threatens the core of a person's sense of self, or to the way that self wants to belong to someone or to something.
Hate starts as silence; the need for a strictly enforced silence. This silence is usually enforced by an outsider of the self, a family member or a community trying to maintain certain standards. As soon as you learn to "never talk to strangers" or include an appreciation for strangeness or difference; a family or community becomes locked by a stricture of its own conformity.
Poetman: "Hate" tell us more.
Hate: Remember earlier when I said that I have a secret fuel source, an inexhaustible fuel source?
Poetman: Yes I do, I have been meaning to ask you about that.
Hate: As long as there is a fear that love is finite, that it has limits, there are those who will endeavor to protect it as a resource. When love is threatened, hate lives. And then what was a silent festering protective impulse begins to gather to itself some sympathetic and loud friends. I am speaking of course of "Rage" and "Anger".
In the sound container of the word hate is a cacophony of anguished voices crying "I am me. I belong. You can't take love from me and if you try, I will kill you."
So you see Poetman, I am guaranteed a long, long life.
Poetman: Yes, I guess I do…

Neville's little brother
Those of you who subscribe to Needlepoint Now magazine, and who have received your copy of the September/October 2011 issue, may have already met "Neville." He's the faceless but dapper model of my "Savile Row" design that I used to show how easy it can be to replicate fabrics and patterns in needlepoint.
Neville was so much fun to stitch, I decided to work up another design highlighting traditional menswear fashions.
Unlike Neville, however, who measured in at 11 inches square, his little brother--Nigel--is only five inches square and fits in the top of a Sudberry House "Betsy" box. I can't think of a more stylish way to organize all that loose pocket change spilling over the top of a man's dresser!
Nigel is a combination of a stitch-painted canvas and a line drawing: a lot of the pattern will be stitched into the open areas. I'm looking forward to stitching this project and hope you'll stop by to check on my progress!

I love weekend. Who don't? Well, since becoming sahm, I wish everyday is weekend so that hubs will be at home and give me a helping hand with the kids. Hehehe.. Naah,I'm not complaining but telling the truth I have to juggling to do everything (managing the kids, keeping the house clean, managing the kids, cooking, sewing, playground every evening, managing the kids) until the only me-time is the time for me to pump my milk. Theheehe..
Well, enough with all the whining, these are what I've sewed for last week. I only sew during weekdays, since weekend is family-day (so, absolute no activity in the studio during weekends). Not much tho, as last week is quite 'huru-hara' week with me having mild fever (I was this close to having the mastitis) and the serger making a very weird sound (Alhamdulillah, it stop after a while- however, very scary indeed).

OK, that's all. Another weekdays approaching very soon and I hope to be very productive this coming weekdays. You too enjoy your day, yah..

St George's Gymnasts leap to success at National Gymnastics Competition
On Saturday 11 November, the Under 9, Under 10 and Under 11 girls' teams and the Under 9 boys' team travelled to Stamford Junior School to compete in the ISGA (Independent Schools' Gymnastics Association) National 2 Piece Gymnastics Competition.
Gymnastics Coach, Mrs Henderson, has written a short report on the day's action:
"The 2 pieces of apparatus that everyone competed on were a set floor routine and a voluntary vault. This was the first time St George's had entered this competition, so we were unsure how competitive we would be, but I am pleased to say that all of the gymnasts performed beautifully on each piece of apparatus and the extra training they had been putting in on a Wednesday and Thursday morning clearly paid off!
When the results were announced everyone was so impressed with how well St George's did. The Under 9 boys' squad finished 3rd overall in the team placings, with one pupil finishing in 6th place individually and another boy gaining an individual 2nd place finish, missing out on the top spot by an agonising 0.18 of a point!
The Under 9 girls' squad finished 2nd in the team placings, with one of the girls finishing 6th individually and one of St George's own taking the title in 1st place! She is now the Under 9 National Champion!
The Under 10 girls' squad also came 2nd in the team event. There was an individual 5th place finish and a 2nd place finish.
The Under 11 girls' squad was in a difficult group with gymnasts who train over 12 hours a week! They placed 8th overall, with one pupil finishing 7th individually and narrowly missing out on an individual medal.
The children were a credit to the school throughout the day, they behaved perfectly and performed admirably!
A big thank you to Mrs Waters and Mr Chester for assisting with transport and helping to prepare the children for the competition."

I am planning on shooting a dance performance which is going to have a rear screen video projection going on behind them during the dance. Has any one here done this before? I'm aware that compositing is probably the cleanest way to accomplish a similar effect, but I am interested in exploring this idea and capturing it without post work, and I am wondering if anyone has experience in this department. Specifically, in how it is different than rear-projection film? For insatnce, when the video projector is turned on but the image is black, it will still be projecting some light while if they were using a film projector that wouldn't happen...
Any advice would be great

Educators Choose Avid To Build Solid Foundations for Media Careers
ANAHEIM, Calif., Jan. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NAMM (Hall A, Booth #6400) — Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID) today announced that a growing number of public education institutions are investing in the most comprehensive Avid tools and workflow solutions to create, distribute and optimize media, driven by significant advancements in the Avid Learning Partner program. Leading the way is a group of Los Angeles-area institutions, including UCLA, Cal State LA, Santa Monica College and several local high schools—University High School, Hollywood High School, and Hamilton High School. These partnerships underscore a growing national trend, as more educational institutions embrace the Avid Learning Partner program to prepare the next generation for success in the media industry.
"Today's competitive job market increasingly requires fluency in digital media, and the Avid Learning Partner program is specifically designed to help educators implement curriculums that prepare students for proficiency in media creation, production and distribution," said Avid Chairman and CEO, Louis Hernandez, Jr. "The Avid MediaCentral® Platform is the industry's most open, tightly integrated and efficient platform designed for media, and is uniquely suited to help students learn the advanced workflows of enterprise-level media industries. We've seen unprecedented investments and expanding engagement with academic institutions at the high school and university levels."
Thanks to ongoing improvements to the Avid Learning Partner program that address needs of educators, combined with curriculum updates and the growing industry recognition of official Avid certification, more public schools are now able to access funding for investments in support of programs that provide industry credentials. This is driving an increase of secondary and post-secondary institutions entering the Avid Learning Partner program.
Under the Avid Learning Partner program, high school and college students are better prepared to make vital choices for a future in enterprise media, and institutions attract more students by staying on the cutting edge of media production education. Providing educators and students alike access to the powerful tools used by a wider preeminent client and user community also helps continue to shape the collective future of the media industry. After graduating, studies have shown that students who have learned their craft on Avid Media Composer® command a 44% higher salary throughout their careers on average.
"After exploring how Avid's comprehensive tools and solutions can be applied to both contemporary and future storytelling, the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television is expanding its engagement with Avid, implementing professional industry workflows for our students, and future-proofing these investments with flexible, cloud deployment options," said Jeff Burke, Assistant Dean for Technology and Innovation, UCLA School of Theater.
The Avid Learning Partner program gives students unprecedented access to comprehensive professional media production environments for audio, video and broadcast applications Curriculums include training and certification for industry-leading Pro Tools®, Pro Tools | S6, Sibelius®, Media Composer®, iNEWS® and more.

Gracias a ustedes por hacernos parte de su hogar mientras visitaban nuestra area. Esperamos en un futuro no muy lejano volverles a servir.
Muchas bendiciones siempre, Migdalia
Great vacation!
We had a great vacation. This townhouse was everything we expected and more. We loved the location on the lake. Home was well supplied with everything we needed. We would definitely stay in this townhouse again.
Very nice
The place was very nice, but there was no internet connection. They said they would get it fixed, but it never happened. No connection really messed us up, but otherwise very good.
Dear Valued Guests: Greetings Thank you for staying in my property. I need to apologize for any inconvenience that this could cause you during your stay. The internet connection services are offered by the resort. See below what my property manager wrote about the issue. Thanks again
"Hi Migdalia,
I have recently had ongoing issues with Internet connections at your home. Following discussions with Summit Broadband I put in a temporary replacement router to see if this resolved the problem, which it did. I have therefore put in a permanent replacement router.
Stuart Millington"
Nice, quiet community! Great for families.
We stayed for a week during our trip to Disney. The condo is conveniently located to all parks, grocery, and restaurants. Enjoyed our time there!
We very much enjoyed staying at the townhome
The property was very clean and comfortable. We met up with our daughter and her family, and they enjoyed the townhome as well. There was plenty of room for all of us. The only problem we encountered was spotty Wi-fi.
Dear Valued Guests: Thank you again for staying with us. I am sorry to hear that you had problems with the Wifi. That Wifi is from the resort and in the binder was the information about how to contact the Clubhouse in case you had any problems with it. You should contact me or the property manager. Thank you again and I hope to serve you soon. Best regards, Migdalia
It was ok
My family and another family stayed here for 5 days on a Disney trip. I read the reviews before booking, and they were all great so I booked. When we arrived, the AC was already frozen up so it was 77 degrees inside for the first day and a half until someone came to fix it. I contacted them on check in night about the AC and it was fixed the next afternoon. The upstairs bathroom smelled horrible. The entire place had an odd smell. There was a huge stain on the bottom of the stairs in the carpet that honestly looked like someone used the restroom there..still not sure what it was. There was no mini packs of dish soap or dishwasher detergent or extra trashbags, so everything had to be purchased. Some of the dishes and glasses in the cabinet were dirty and had stains. Tubs looked dingy and the paneling on the sink in guest bath was falling off - needs to be updated. The resort/neighborhood itself was nice. The gate guard was really great and helpful, and it was pretty close to the parks. Overall, it was somewhere to stay and I will gladly pay extra to stay somewhere else next time.
Dear Guests:
I read your review and I immediately shared it with my Property Manager. Guests need to Remember that the vacation homes are self-catering. Also, as I indicated in your check-in procedures, you should call them immediately if you found something you did not like in the property. I am sure they will go immediately to correct the issue.
This is what the Property Manager emailed me:
"Thank you for sharing that Migdalia, can you respond explaining that your home is fully licensed in Florida Statues and that you are not allowed to leave any chemicals or detergents in the home. As a rental home guests normally do purchase own detergents to use.
Apart from the AC issue we did not hear anything from these guests regarding any other issues they have raised . Had they have called us we would have attended. The carpet stain has been dealt with by professional cleaners using peroxide to remove it and can assure you that it was not made by anyone using it as a rest room."

It's all Flock stuff today in the preview department.
Flock's of the Future…
8 comments
umm Rapunzel….I'll admit though that I only know for 2 reasons. One the shirt with the tower and the hair. and 2…It says it in the corner
Sorry I didn't mean that to sound so rude. I just wanted to mention it.
Yeah, it says so in the corner because people kept telling me they didn't get it. Maybe my friends are just slow on the uptake? And don't worry, you didn't sound rude, Kat.
Looking forward to this flock! ^^
They look great! Your sketchbook is always so neat… someday I aspire to be as neat and organized!
Oooo, love these!! How pretty!!

It's Christmas Eve, and that means we're on our last day of our advent calendar. What do you bring us?
Oh yeah, now we're talking. A chimney and Santa Claus! That's like two days worth of material in one. If all the days were like this then this calendar would have totally been worth the overinflated Lego price. Even if Santa has an incorrect hat, clothes and beard. (This has got to be a European Santa, you know, the kind you had to write reports about in the 4th grade. Dude has a fricking basket on his back.) And even if the glasses Santa is wearing make him look like a nerd dressing up as Santa at the office Christmas party.

New signings Liam Baitup and Gianluca Del-Gaudio became 'super subs' as they helped Eastbourne United return to winning ways against Mile Oak.
United, who lost their ten-match unbeaten run to table-topping East Preston last weekend, managed to grind out a victory thanks to a solitary goal from Pete Cooper.
But boss Paul Daubeney credited the result to the two new faces in the squad, Baitup and Del-Gaudio, who joined this week from Worthing United and Ringmer respectively.
"The substitutions certainly changed the match for us, which we're very pleased about as they only had one training session with us.
"Liam had a few chances today and I'm sure once he gets his bearings back in front of goal he'll start to put those chances away."
It looked like the match was heading for a stalemate after both teams cancelled each other out in a first half with very few opportunities.
The deadlock wasn't broken until the 73rd minute when Cooper nodded the home side ahead from just their second corner of the match.
Cooper was close to doubling the goal cushion a few minutes later from a free kick, but his effort rebounded off the crossbar. This victory is United's third against Mile Oak in all competitions this season and Eastbourne's seventh clean sheet in eight matches.
Daubeney said, "Mile Oak are a very hard side to play against as they put five men in midfield and four attacking. They tend to swarm you and become very hard to break down.
"It wasn't a great spectacle but it's the result that counts. Winning ugly is important sometimes and we managed to do that today."
Eastbourne maintained their fourth-place spot in the Sussex County Football League Division Two and will be hoping to secure another three points when they travel to lowly Midhurst and Easebourne this weekend.
Eastbourne United: Sargent, Lee, Hughes, Jules, Featherstone, Stracey, Russell (Baitup), Trickett, Cooper, Catt, Bunn (Del-Gaudio) Referee: P. Lindsey Attendance: 51

I am wondering myself why would anyone want 4 more years of regressive social policy, war, and a dead-end pursuit of oil as our energy, declining infrastructure? I have begun to realize that Fox News has created a lot of the contentiousness between conservatives and liberals, and is doing so with astounding propaganda, lies, and slander. Like a cult, it tells people that all other news sources are "liberal", that you can only trust Fox, making far-right wingers out of the middle and near-right conservatives. If we could just start a grass-roots "Turn off Fox" campaign among the independents. I think that Fox is so sophisticated in their brain-washing that we are no longer able to have discourse between the left and the right.

ever work with someone that can't stop talking? back in the day, there was this ned flanders clone that i worked with. every morning at the job site, he'd be happy as a pig in shit. forgive the language, but let's remember that i'm talking about my redneck roots. anyhow, in this story, i am homer simpson in my distaste for ned's upbeat and often judgmental comments emanating from beneath his pushbroom mustache. there was just something about his holier-than-thou attitude that made his constant chatter the bane of my workday. it finally got to me one day. his insistence on calling me benny-boy or son snapped the camel's back. i went off on him. he wasn't the boss, and he wasn't a good co-worker. he didn't respect me, it showed daily, and i lost it.
i've worked other places since where a co-worker has had the tendency to fill silence with inane chatter. more often than not, i deal with it better now; however, the smothering of mothering has gotten to me from time to time. the difference is that now it's out of kindness and helpfulness and not a need to feel superior to me. still though, i'm starting to tune out those co-workers when i ought not to. i prefer silence often, and i also use my mp3 player to keep my focus. my palmer-induced ADD makes it hard enough to focus without interruptions.
am i developing the male tendency towards selective listening? or am i truly ADD and having trouble coping?

My sentiments exactly. You're not ADD - and it's them, not you. I am notorious for selective listening. In fact my mom took me to hearing specialist as a child because she thought I was deaf. I see no reason why selectively ignoring the most annoying people on the planet (this does not include my mom) is a problem. Now if only I could hear freely and shut the rest of them up...
