***EDIT*** so you can access the PSA pop report without a subscription. of the 13,127 PSA graded MJs, 145 have received a PSA 10, which is about just over 1% of the total population. thats a big difference.

I guess though if someone was to ask if it was previously graded he would need to explain. If not then I think that would be very wrong. Like I said it was just a question that popped to mind and was wondering what people thought. I mean it's similar to busting something out and then just selling it raw. |

Congrats on the crossover. update us with a scan when you get that GEM in -- You popped it or sent it in for review?
For others not to familiar with vintage/psa/regisrty; I know 1986 is not considered Vintage but it can be in the discussion - It's just plain and simple, for older cards, PSA 10's sells for more than BGS 9.5's, BVG 9.5's, and for Modern cards/autographs BGS is preferred. PSA specializes in Vintage and collectors trust them more, they know more about set(vintage) imperfections more than BGS, not to mention the PSA registry separates the boys from the men.. For instance about a year ago a PSA 10 (pop 2 or 3) 1988 Fleer Larry Bird sold for 5k just so that one collector can surpass another or get closer to their ultimate goal of having the finest set.. A bgs 9.5 of the same card would not even sell for 500. other example of sales; a BVG 10 Pristine (not BVG 9.5) 1969 Lew Alcindor sold for around 10-12k, A PSA 10 would sell upwards of 40k at least.. |

Though I'm a bit confused. Looking at the psa service level charts, seems like the '5 day' grading service is only available for cards with a declared value of 500-1999. So are you saying you undervalued the card to qualify for the 5 day service and save the extra 30 bucks? That's one thing I hate about psa, is you have to select the service level and turnaround time according to the price of the card, unlike bgs which doesn't care if it's a 4 dollar of 7000 card...you can select whatever turnaround you want. |

I do agree that it can cause you problems by disclosing it - in the form of lower sales figure - but that's morally the right thing to do. Grading... why pay more, it's just a gimmick. |
08-14-2012, 09:19 PM | #41 (permalink) |
It makes me chuckle that people think there is some moral obligation to identify that this was a bgs 9.5. It's not a bgs 9.5 now, and there is no guarantee it would be a 9.5 if I cracked it out (or that it wouldn't be a bgs 10 if I resubbed there). Grading is a snapshot in time of someone's opinion - that's it. It's why people resub - they differ in opinion (right or wrong) of the interpretation of the cards condition in relation to the companies grading standards.

my question is if you were to resell and someone asked you about the history of the card or if it was ever graded by bgs what would you say? or someone offered you saying they were going to try for bgs 10? what would you say? i'll state it again. i wanted to know what people thought about it as i've seen many threads in which people get all up in arms over someone who breaks a bgs or psa card and sells it raw. its quite a similar event as to this and i wanted to know what the general consensus was... |

Would you tell people that the card was a BGS 9.5, knowing it might cost you thousands of dollars? It is easy to ask questions, but by the way you act around here I sense you take the 7k and run. If I took a big gamble like Burke did I would hope to get paid off. Card is now PSA 10...end of story.

Nope. Card is PSA 10.
If this was my card I would not say anything about it being a BGS 9.5. If somebody that was interested in buying it asked me if it was graded before I would be honest and say yes. I would not put the previous grade in my auction.

Just because it was a BGS 9.5 has 0 influence on what it might get if someone were to try and cross it back as a BGS 10. I haven't thought if I would tell someone it was a bgs 9.5, but I won't advertise it because it's misleading in that someone may think that's what it would be if they tried to cross it back (and there is no guarantee). As jt16 says, it's a psa 10 now. How it got there is inconsequential. I mean really - if you buy a red car and paint it black, should you disclose that car was once red? Who gives a rip? They can paint it red if they want if they buy it from you.
It's different than cracking a card out and selling raw, but even there what's wrong with cracking out a bgs 8 and selling the card as nmmt (assuming it wasn't damaged and card is accurately described)? Would you not want an accurate description? Where does morality factor in if you accurately describe something you sell?

So if someone were to ask you about if it was previously graded or said they were going to try and get it graded by bgs what would you say? Oh an you really think someone would buy a Psa 10 to cross to a bgs 9.5? Lol |

The reason why BGS 9.5 have taken a bit of a dip for the majority of them is because people are discounting and paying premiums based on subgrades. Most BGS 9.5 with a 9.0 sub or no 10 subs get the lower end while 1 or 2 10 subs get much higher.
Atleast with PSA 10s and no breakdown in subs it keeps it more consistent. For me personally the difference between a 0.5 sub bump within a bgs 9.5 is not worth a 1-2k premium. |

Flour & flowers
Okay, here's the nitty and/or gritty. Two weeks ago I signed on for a second part-time job. The position: weekend gardener at a local organic nursery. Now I'm working 36 hours a week, spread out over 7 days.
This is going fairly well so far, and more importantly it's going to help me accomplish some personal goals this summer.
My basic blueprint for summer '08 is to have a lot of fun and make some decent money at the same time. My philosophy is non-original but it's ridiculously effective: Get paid to do things that I'd gladly do for free. Mill all-organic grain into fantastic bread flour (and get paid for it). Water plants in quiet greenhouses while listening to podcasts (and get paid for it). And so on.
I'm going to give this another month or so, just to develop a solid routine and make sure everything's 100% cool & stable. If all goes well, I'm actually planning to add a third job to the mix. Something to bring my total weekly hours up to 50 or so. Haven't quite figured out what that might be yet, but it'd have to be an evening job, which limits my options a lot. (Bellingham is many things, but it's not a 24-hour city.) It'd also have to be fun & low-stress, of course. That goes without saying.
What do I plan to do with all this extra cash? Nothing terribly exciting. Get my own apartment downtown (I currently share a house w/ two other guys). Pay off debts. Take some more classes at the university. Leave some room in my monthly budget for a more-active social life. And so on.
Like I've said before, I'm having such a good time out here in Washington that nothing short of a total catastrophe could derail my dreams at this point. And having a safety net of cash on hand would make even that prospect less worrisome.
p.s. And don't worry, E2-wise I'm not going anywhere. I'm still balancing out a new daily routine, but I'm going to leave time in my agenda for internet geekery, probably around 7pm (PST) every day.
I'm walking out of class, and I think, for some reason, I should call Pretty Baby.
And I think, when was the last time I thought of her as Pretty Baby?
When was the last time I thought of her, and didn't feel trapped.
It's gotten colder this week. Nobody takes naps on the quad anymore. I don't take naps on the quad anymore. It's too cold, and there's no sun to lull me to sleep. It's cold, and grey, and ugly. Who would sleep outside in that?
There's something red in the tree ahead of me, and I can't decide what it is. Maybe a frisbee, I don't know. It seems significant, anyhow, perched way up there in that oak tree. They have leaves again, winter is over. I walk. Someone dashes into the middle of the road, stoops down to the ground. He bends down to retrieve a pair of sunglasses, then looks my way. We make eye contact. He returns to the sidewalk.
I look up. It's a halfway deflated, day old balloon, perched way up there in the oak tree. It still seems significant. I wonder if the man dropped his sunglasses in the street, or whether he just found somebody else's sunglasses lying there. It doesn't really matter anyhow, nobody needs sunglasses today.
His friends have the keys to the whole building, including my room. There's no deadbolt. The electronic locks are really secure, really safe. I'd have a hard time breaking it, without the key. Unfortunately, out of 120 people in the entire building, he had to be friends with the people with the master keys. I just took sleeping pills. It isn't easy sleeping with a rifle in your arms. I found out today he's armed. The police can't do anything though, he's their guest.
Ever had someone try to kill you? I have. There's this look they get in their eyes, when they've decided they mean business. I've seen that look before. A man gave me that look, right before he chased us down for a half hour, going 90mph on surface streets, trying to ram us, going on the freeway. Throwing his truck into reverse on the freeway after we stopped to escape him, backing up through cars weaving going 90mph coming back for us, he had that look. I've seen that look before. He has the keys, he has a gun. My rifle is not soft, my rifle is not tender. It does not embrace me like a lover. He has that look in his eyes.
It's really her he's after, too. He hates me for defending her, but what man wouldn't defend his girl, tell him to back off? I did the right thing.
I didn't call Pretty Baby. She called me tonight, while I was at the store. We talked for ten minutes, minutiae, the brakes on the car and when am I coming and she misses me.
Me and my roommate are sitting on my balcony thirty minutes later, 40oz beers in hand, and we're talking. He asks me if I would hate him if he violated something told him in strict confidence. I ask what.
He tells me, "Well, Saturday, when her mom came over with her and we all got drunk..."
She pulled me aside that night, scared to death I would sleep with her mom. I promised her I would never do something like that, I asked her mom to reassure her daughter later, quietly. She avoided responding.
"When you and her left the room, her mom told me something, and made me promise I wouldn't tell you..."
I spent half the night on the balcony, reassuring her I wouldn't hurt her like that.
"That night you got the text message from Adam, the night you were all depressed and upset with her for not coming, and he texted you and told you to take that rifle you just bought and shoot yourself..."
"Her mom said she was there with them, laughing. Her mom felt guilty not telling someone, but she made me promise not to tell you. I felt you should know."
"Thanks. I'd rather know."
And I'm sitting, waiting. The sleeping pills kick in maybe in ten, fifteen minutes, and I can try and sleep with my rifle in my arms. My problems would all be gone if I stopped defending her, stopped watching her. I could let the creep here have her. He just wants her anyhow, not me.
Her friends are telling me to off myself, and she's standing there, laughing.
I'm chambering a round now, and barricading the door. I hope he doesn't come tonight. I hate not being able to lock the world out of my room.
With me moving countries and continents quite regularly, it's hard to reduce your household to thirty kg's again and again, but then there's things that you hesitate to throw away, like a collection of good books or some really cool DVDs. Or photo albums (remember those?). Or comfy jumpers. Stuff like that. So I keep a large room behind a padlock in one of those anonymous warehouses in a capital within the European Union where I store all things that quickly have to go before I board another plane to a new home. Today I visited that place, and it was like cracking open a time capsule. The first thing I picked up was a folder with the collected letters from all the women I loved (in a spiritual sense, of course. What did you think?), starting in the early eighties. And a bunch of photos that went with them. Bloody hell, was I once thin. Also, two ancient address books full of people I forgot I knew once.
It's good to wallow in the old times once in a while. Looking back it's obvious that they must have been fun-filled and carefree. It's nice to remember what brilliant times one had and what amazing people were met within them. But would I trade them for the present?

It may not be apparent from first look at Sam's placid, wholesome face, but this girl's a survivor. She's struggled with Lyme disease, with her own fragile confidence, with the risky transition from doubles specialist to singles contender, with the pressures of bearing Australia's weighty tennis tradition on her shoulders and the psychological strain of feeling she'd missed her one best chance for Major glory to scrappy Francesca Schiavone at the 2010 French Open. And all that was well before she came to New York this year, where she played three three-set matches before the final, including a couple epic battles vs. Petrova and then Kirlenko. Against the latter, she managed to lose the longest tie break on record and still win the match. And all this only to face one of the biggest challenges in the sport: Serena Williams in Arthur Ashe stadium. It was Stosur's first time in the vertigo-inducing venue all tournament, her semifinal having been relegated to the Grandstand.
We all know the old saw: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And on Sunday Sam Stosur played like every bit of adversity, doubt, and disappointment she's faced in her career and at this tournament had hardened into solid steel. How else do you explain the 6-2, 6-3 beating she gave Serena Williams in the final? Serena had barely broken a sweat in her previous matches, including a humiliation of World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki in the semis.
Even Stosur couldn't quite figure it out, afterwards:
Q. Is this a bit surreal, the emphatic nature of it all and how quickly it went and everything else? How do you describe it?
SAMANTHA STOSUR: Yeah, I'm still kind of speechless. I can't actually believe I won this tournament. I guess to go out there and play the way I did is obviously just an unbelievable feeling, and you always, you know, hope and you want to be able to do that, but to actually do it, is unbelievable.Q. If you can share your thoughts, did you ever feel it was coming a bit more easily than you expected, and how did you handle not succumbing to that?
SAMANTHA STOSUR: Oh, for sure if I was gonna win, I didn't think that I'd be able to do it in 6 2, 63, that's for sure. After that first set I kind of sat down and I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest, and I thought, Okay, I'm a set up now; I've got a chance to win one out of the next two and I've got a chance.
Q. When can you remember playing as complete a match and as good a match as you played today?
SAMANTHA STOSUR: Um, I don't know. It's obviously hard to compare today to any other match. I've played matches where I feel like I played lights out, can't miss a ball, and, you know, it's fantastic, but to do it under these circumstances in this kind of final against a player like Serena, for sure I'm gonna think it's one of the best days of my career, of my life of playing. So I think I've played, like I said, matches where I played extremely well, but under these circumstances it's something different.
Serena agreed with Sam's assessment of her game, saying she'd never seen Sam play so well.
Q. You have won 13 majors, and in some ways being out there for a final is familiar territory. For her it really isn't. She's only been to one. Did you tell yourself at any point in the match, She can't possibly keep this up?
SERENA WILLIAMS: When you're playing like that, you know, she played really, really well. I mean, I don't think she's ever played that well. Maybe she has. I haven't seen her play that well. But that's what you have to do. When you're in the final of a Grand Slam you have to do that. I thought, Okay, at some point you could level out, because I know sometimes it happens. But I've played a couple Grand Slam finals where I never leveled out, so I definitely thought about it.
Serena also did her best to brush off the still-simmering controversy around the "Come on!" hindrance episode and her subsequent argument with the chair umpire after her winner became a game point for Stosur.
Q. What impact, if any, did losing that point have on this match today? What carried over maybe from that moment for you?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Um, I don't know. I don't think it had a big impact, because I think at the end she won pretty handily, like 6-3. So maybe it would have been 6-4. I don't know. But I think, you know, like I said, I give her all the credit because she really played phenomenal and she deserved to be the US Open champion this year.
Like Serena, I say let's forget about Serena's tiff with the chair ump and focus on Sam's accomplishment. It's hard not to like this big hitting, soft speaking Aussie and there's no doubt she is a deserving and exciting new Major champion. There's no doubt Serena will have more chances ("Every time I lose I get better," she told the press after the final. "So watch out!") but it's also fun to see other players take theirs. The stage is set for a fascinating 2012. But let's let Sam enjoy this one for a while!

Social Question
Let us make some funny air flight safey instructions?
Asked by rebbel (23675)
July 29th, 2011
Today I flew back to the Netherlands and of course the stewardesses entertained us with their pre-flight safety instructions.
Frequent flyers will recognize these as necessary but also quite boring.
In my mind I was finishing some sentences they started, and I thought about asking my fellow Jellies to come up with some too.
If you please, of course.

A quirky drama with moments of startling originality, Life: Season One concerns Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis of Band of Brothers), a cop who spent 12 years in federal prison for murders he did not commit. Exonerated by DNA evidence, Charlie receives a multimillion-dollar settlement for his troubles and returns to his old job, though now as a detective. Cleared of the crime, Charlie still faces skepticism from his law enforcement brethren and the impatience of a new partner, Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi), a former drug addict squeezed by her superior (Robin Weigert) to find reasons to boot Charlie from the force. None of this hostility, however, compares with the terrible time Charlie experienced behind bars, where a former cop is everyone's punching bag. Charlie's sanity, saved by studying Zen methods of non-attachment, remains with him after he is released into a digital world, Charlie has a lot of catching up to do, but it is his post-prison unorthodox manner and tendency to speak without thinking that prove jarring for colleagues and crime witnesses. Still, it is easy to root for the guy and appreciate (non-attachment aside) his fondness for the good life: a mansion, fast cars, beautiful women, and lots of fresh fruit. The pilot episode is a knockout, the kind of show featuring moments one has never seen before, such as a scene in which Charlie is forced to shoot a suspect and then talks him through an almost dream-like death. Subsequent episodes are a little uneven in quality, but the overall package is quite compelling, particularly as Charlie quietly solves the mystery of the murders for which he was blamed. Throughout, Charlie's religious transformation in prison collides with his darker impulses toward possible revenge, making Life a fascinating study in conflict. --Tom Keogh

Decorating Tips - Part 1

- Kate said...
These are some really nice ideas. Love that lamp, and the little place in your last entry is adorable - my ideal! There's something about those yellow curtains in the first picture today that bothers me though. They just look a little unruly, a bit unbalanced between top and bottom - but that's just my personal opinion, and I move house so often that I've never truly decorated a house in my life!

Thanks Ronda - I know it can be hard to make a final decision but just go with your heart and it will work out. Sometimes if I just love TOO many fabrics I just have some of our couture cushions made and then I can squeeze all the fabrics I like into 4-6 cushions.

This post is absolutely brilliant!
I totally agree that fabrics, textures, make a room. Sort of like a pair of shoes changes your look completely everytime with just black trousers and a white t-shirt.
A good source for fabrics is Ebay. You can find absolute bargains on fabulous designer discontinued chunks of fabric, including colefax & fowler, designers guild, g.p. & J. baker, etc.
Thanks for this post - your blog is my favourite design blog! - 15 August 2007 at 11:42

View the report as a single document - (PDF 14KB)
20 August 2013
Senator the Hon John Hogg President of the Senate
On 20 June 2013, the Senate referred the Telecommunications Amendment (Get a Warrant) Bill 2013 (Bill) to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee (committee) for inquiry and report by 31 October 2013.
The Bill sought to amend the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 to require standard warrant authorisation procedures for law enforcement and intelligence agencies that wish to access telecommunications.
Conduct of the inquiry
The committee invited submissions to the inquiry by 31 July 2013. Details of the inquiry, the Bill and associated documents were placed on the committee's website. The committee also wrote to 67 organisations and individuals.
The committee received 18 submissions for this inquiry.
On 5 August 2013, the Governor-General prorogued the 43rd Parliament and dissolved the House of Representatives. Accordingly, the committee has resolved not to continue its inquiry into the provisions of the Bill. This decision is consistent with the approach to inquiries during elections adopted by other Senate committees. If the Bill is reintroduced in the new parliament, the Senate can again refer it to the committee for inquiry.
Yours sincerely
Senator Trish Crossin Chair
Committee Secretary Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Australia Phone: +61 2 6277 3560 Fax: +61 2 6277 5794 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

FAQs: Mobile Phone Recycling – How it works, things to know, get paid for old phones
October 30th, 2009
photo: Caveman 92223
In the UK, there are 121 mobile phones for every 100 people. That's more phones than people! Many of us have got spare phones lying around in the cupboard which we don't use any more. Mobile phone recycling companies will often take away your old handset and pay you a cheque for it too.
What condition does the phone need to be in?
Generally, it needs to be in decent working condition. Some companies will pay for non-working handsets and then refurbish them, however.
First things first: Recycle it through Friends and Family
Before recycling your phone ask yourself whether anybody in your social circle might find the phone useful. Mobile phone recycling companies usually pay a lot less for your old mobile than it costs to buy that handset new. If you know somebody who might find your mobile useful, consider passing it on to them or trading it amongst yourselves.
For example, a brand new Viewty costs £100 but you'll only get £30 for it when you recycle it. If it's in good condition, why not sell it to a family member for £50? It's a win-win situation.
Check if your handset is locked first though; it might not accept their SIM card.
Sell it on eBay
Have a look on eBay and see what price your mobile phone is currently getting. Many mobile phone recycling companies will just sell your handset on eBay, so cut out the middle man.
What happens to the phone when I recycle it?
photo: ginnerobot
The company will check your phone to make sure it isn't stolen and then test it to see whether it's in working condition. If your phone is accepted they will usually sell it on to somebody else as a "refurbished" handset. If they can't do that, the phone will be reprocessed. Phones contain metals such as gold which can be recovered, components which can be reused and other materials which can be smelted for energy recovery.
According to mobile phone recycling company Envirofone:
We're very pleased that the majority of the mobile phones that we receive are re-used as this can make a significant contribution to managing the demand for precious minerals such as coltan which is sourced from the deep forests of the Congo in central Africa. The Congo's mining business has in recent years led to a dramatic reduction of animal habitat, specifically the world's endangered lowland gorillas and reuse and recycling can help to reduce the demand for new raw materials.
Take out your SIM and memory card…
Remember to remove the SIM card and memory card from the phone before you send it off! The memory card is still useful (e.g. you could use it in your camera or laptop) and might contain information you wouldn't want to share with a stranger (photos, videos or passwords!).
photo: NightRPStar
Make sure you remove your SIM card. Somebody with your SIM card can access your address book, receive calls that are meant for you and could even make calls which are charged back to you. Either use the SIM card in your new phone or dispose of it securely once you've used all remaining credit.
It's worth wiping the handset memory too – that might have photos, text messages and your address book.
How much will I get for my phone?
Use the price comparison tool on the MoneySavingExpert.com website. It'll get quotes from various mobile phone recycling companies and allow you to find the company that pays the most. Then see if you can use a cashback site such as TopCashback to get a few extra quid.

At the end of the sixteenth century Giambologna dominated the art of the small bronze, and his statuettes were highly prized by rulers and sophisticated collectors across Europe. In principle, the master's models could be endlessly reproduced in bronze casts. Research undertaken for the upcoming exhibition Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Hill Collection will show how and why replication became a major characteristic of the art of the small bronze and investigate whether multiplicity was considered a virtue.―This lecture is made possible by the Robert H.
"Antico: A Pioneer of Renaissance Sculpture," by Claudia Kryza-Gersch, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, May 2, 2012. Antico dedicated himself to reviving the forms and splendors of ancient sculpture. This lecture will explore the artist's pioneering role in establishing the bronze statuette as a new Renaissance genre; his innovative exploration of the classical bust and the female nude; and his invention of techniques for creating superbly finished versions of his bronzes that rival the technical achievements of the ancients.

Each angular region of the shaft's rotation can be described as combinations of each motion controlled part's state (ie: eyes open, eyes closed, ears up, ears down, mouth open, mouth closed, etc.) By arranging these states on the cams, sequences of animated motion can be achieved by rotating the main shaft forwards and backwards. For example, to dance, he may drive the main shaft back and forth 20 degrees, moving the butt motion cam, but that happens to be a dead spot for the eyeball and ear cams, making his eyes stay open and ears unmoving during the dance. However, the positions cannot be accessed randomly, only sequentially (ie: in order to get to "dance" he may need to spin through "eat", "blink" and "sleep" to get there).
All of the moving body parts are clutched, spring loaded, or otherwise protected from being obstructed or manipulated by careless humans trying to restrict Furby's motion.. Unfortunately, the gears and cams are made from a softer, pliable plastic. This may protect them from damage by allowing them to flex under stress, but it also allows them to get into invalid positions under stress and jam up easily. Some of the guides and gear parts are also very thin and easy to break. Of course, a furby is a $30 toy, so certainly no one should expect a rare alloy steel inside of them.
Nervous System: Furbies have a single main PC board, which contains a few minor chips (they don't look custom), some analog components (caps and resistors), the pet and the inversion sensor, and connectors for the wires leading to the remote switches, speaker, mic, IR, etc. Mounted on the main PCB are two daughter PCBs, one about 0.8x0.6" and another about 0.4" square. Each contains a blob of black plastic which usually represents a cheap, custom masked IC. This is most likely the CPU, ROM, RAM (if any), voice samples, etc. all in a single atomic unexaminable blob.
Furbies' literature claims they have three different voice "pitches". If these are represented by different voice ROM masks, then I would guess the smaller daughter PCB is the voice ROM and the larger PCB would be the CPU and software. However, it may be that the "pitches" are simply minor variations in the sound playback rates and not represented as ROM changes at all.
Senses: Furbies have the following I/O:
There is an additional emitter /receiver pair which are used to determine motor position or speed information. One of the gears which drive the main drive shaft has four slots cut in it through which light from an LED can pass to a receiver, which gives the CPU data on motor motion.
I'm not sure why our Furby apparently insisted in overheating a frozen motor when it had a sensor indicating motor motion. With such a sensor, it should have been a simple matter for the CPU to detect a stuck motor and power the motor down. Perhaps this will be fixed in the next generation of Furbys.

Dominus Napa Valley Red 2010
Category: | Red Wine |
Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot |
Region: | California » Napa Valley |
Producer: | Dominus |
Product Description
The Dominus 2010 displays compelling notes of black cherries and plums as well as a hint of graphite and sandalwood. With a round and sweet attack, the chiseled and deftly polished tannins give a savory evolution. Its finish is long and replete with cedar, anise and cacao.
Wine Spectator
Graceful and refined, offering a subtle mix of delicate Cabernet flavors, with dried currant, cherry, herb, cedar, cigar box and graphite notes, ending with smooth, integrated tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2024.
Score: 92, James Laube, November 15, 2013Wine Advocate
Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the stunning, full-bodied 2010 Dominus boasts an exceptional perfume of hoisin sauce, licorice, underbrush, forest floor, plums, black currants and jammy cherries intertwined with hints of cedar, baking spices and oak. Full-bodied and voluptuously textured, the 2010 is on a slightly faster evolutionary track than the 2009 (somewhat of an anomaly for these two vintages). This exquisite as well as prodigious 2010 can be drunk young, but it should age effortlessly for 20-25 years. Bravo!

Elm Creek Quilter's Christmas Book!
Did you know that Jennifer Chiaverini has a new book coming out end of October/Beginning of November! It will be an extra book this year! The name is "The Christmas Quilt" and it will take place the Christmas in between the 1st and 2nd books!
I attended a lecture with Jennifer last week at the WI Quilt Expo and it was wonderful! We got to hear the first chapter of the book read by Jennifer and see many of the quilts from her books!
So the picture today is the quilt that is from "The Christmas Quilt" book! Isn't it lovely! It wasn't quilted yet, but was still beautiful!
Life at work and home has been busy, busy, busy so I only had time for a short note again today.

The jury's still out on whether Kristen Stewart was stoned — or at least on pain meds — at the 85th Academy Awards, but at least the cause of her foot injury has been explained. Beyond just being an "idiot," it turns out Stewart had hurt herself pretty badly just prior to Oscars night.
Her makeup artist, Beau Nelson, tells People that Stewart "cut the ball of her foot, quite severely, on glass two days ago." Though she was in "a little bit of pain" at the awards show, Stewart still managed to hop around for red carpet photos and present Best Production Design to "Lincoln" alongside Daniel Radcliffe.
When Stewart was asked on the carpet why she was on crutches, she answered simply, "I'm an idiot." That makes it sound like the injury was her own fault instead of something more severe. Whatever the reason, Stewart still looked gorgeous in her cream Reem Acra gown — and at least she had a good excuse to wear flats.

One Frame At A Time: Indiana
There are usually two or three plays in a given Michigan game in which DJ Wilson makes his NBA potential strikingly apparent. This was one such play, and there were more than a couple others as the Wolverines finished an authoritative season sweep of Indiana.

This Week's Obsession: Better Late Than Never
Suddenly it's happening [Marc-Gregor Campredon]
The Question:
Best/favorite/memorable senior-year breakout?
Brian: I surmise this is in honor of Derrick Walton?
Ace: Indeed.
Brian: We should point out that Walton's breakout is not merely a senior year breakout but the ultra-rare midseason senior-year breakout. After being called softbatch.
Ace: Yeah, I don't really remember anything quite like what Walton has done over the last month, at least with Michigan basketball players.
Brian: I could kiss Maverick Morgan.
The Responses:
Ace: The senior-year breakout that comes to mind for me hopefully won't have too many parallels to Walton. When I was a senior in high school, my parents got me a ten-game ticket package for Michigan basketball that covered the conference portion of the schedule. This was 2005-06, when it looked like this could finally be the year that Tommy Amaker's squad snapped the tourney drought.
Senior Horton nearly got an Amaker team to the Dance. [MGoBlue.com via Holdin the Rope] |
Up to that point in his career, Daniel Horton had been an enigmatic player: obviously talented, usually the best player on some mediocre teams, but clearly hamstrung by the system and surrounding talent. His ORating never cracked 100 in his first three years at Michigan, and after a junior season cut short when he pled guilty to domestic violence, it looked like his promising freshman year may stand as his peak.
It all clicked in his senior year. Horton took a Walton-esque leap with his finishing around the rim, hit 39% of his threes, and played remarkably efficient ball for someone shouldering such a huge load (111.4 ORtg on a 28% usage rage). He had several notable performances, most of which came down the stretch: 32 points in a win at Minnesota, 23 and five assists in a win over MSU at Crisler, 21 and five in the home rematch against the Gophers, and a masterful 39-point game to beat Illinois and get Michigan to 8-6 in the Big Ten and on the precipice of a tourney bid. (Someone, please, get that game on YouTube. That was as loud as I'd ever heard Crisler until the Final Four squad.)
Horton's heroics weren't quite enough to propel Michigan into the tournament. The Wolverines went 2-7 down the stretch, with Dion Harris' ankle injury against Ohio State wiping out much of Horton's scoring support; Horton's 34-point game against Indiana still wasn't enough to get M the final win they would've needed to get a bid. They instead had to settle for a run to the NIT final. Horton's magnificent play to close out his career, however, remains one of my fondest memories from a relatively dreadful era in Michigan hoops.

Hello: Michael Johnson
impossible to google so here's his wiki photo
Michigan has hired former 49ers/UCLA offensive coordinator Michael Johnson in some capacity:
Head football coach Michael Johnson has resigned and is taking a position on staff at the University of Michigan. Good luck coach!! #GoBlue
— TKA Athletics (@TKA_Athletics) February 13, 2017
Michigan has all nine of their assistant coach spots filled so Johnson is an analyst until such time as the NCAA approves a tenth assistant coach, which is expected to happen in the near future. Sam issued a gut feeling that a guy matching Johnson's description would be coming in to help coach the WRs, which he's done on and off in the NFL.
Johnson's son, Michael Johnson Jr, happens to be 247's #1 dual-threat QB in the 2019 class. Johnson was until recently his son's coach. This is either good or bad for Michigan's chances with him depending on how this "individual associated with a prospect" legislation works out and what role Johnson actually fills.
If Johnson is the tenth assistant then Michigan can definitely recruit his son because the legislation only applies to non-coaching jobs. If he's a staffer, the legislation stipulates that you can't hire a guy for a two year period before the prospect's projected enrollment. Johnson Jr is more than two years from enrolling, so Michigan might be fine. There is some disagreement about this from our law-talking guy.
FWIW, Johnson was Jim Harbaugh's QB coach for a brief period when both were with the Chargers.
Unverified Voracity Forgot About That Guy Already
Bad things in East Lansing. This is going to be a bad week for Michigan State.
Tourney sel. chair Mark Hollis has canceled his 2-week CBB road trip due to obligations as Michigan St. AD that require him to be on campus.
— Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander) February 13, 2017
Nothing definitive has been released yet save for MSU's statement that three players and one staffer are under investigation for sexual assault; people seem to be expecting something very bad. Bad enough that point and laugh rivalry stuff is inappropriate.
Solomon aftermath. Georgia fired its DL coach, Tracy Rocker, in the immediate aftermath of Signing Day. A Scout article asserted Rocker got in an argument with Aubrey Solomon's mom in an attempt to offer up an explanation, and recriminations ensued. Jeff Sentrell of Dawgnation* interviewed Sabrina Caldwell to get her side of things, and I have some bad news for Teddy Greenstein:
She said a big reason why Georgia didn't sign her son centered on coaching decisions and not anything specific in their recruiting relationship.
Caldwell said they were affected by the scholarship that was no longer there for 4-star Texas RB and longtime UGA commit Toneil Carter.
Adding to the confusion: SEC All-Freshman kicker Rodrigo Blankenship was not extended a scholarship offer despite what he did to win games for the Bulldogs last season.
She said that was not her family's fight but that it was a factor into how they perceived UGA.
"We were concerned with the scholarship issues of those not either receiving (them) or getting it pulled and again (this was) not our fight but it played a factor," she said.
Michigan won that recruitment in part because it looked like the more stable and straightforward program a year after forcibly decommitting multiple kids late in the cycle. While there was something Michigan needed to get fixed (as I said at the time), fix it they did, and next year's Erik Swenson Is Thriving Despite Being Done Wrong article will have the same impact this year's did: nil.
Caldwell's comments caused some introspection at Georgia-focused Get The Picture. It sounds familiar to anyone who read "Pick Up The Damn Phone" last year:
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the amount of angst that cropped up in the comments following my post about Jeff Sentell's interview with Aubrey Solomon's mother. It's hard to let go of a gauzy, romantic image that you're invested in, and for many, the ideal of a football program that doesn't stoop to making business decisions when it comes to roster management is a powerful one. (As powerful as the ideal that student-athletes are already more than fairly compensated for the privilege of playing. But I digress.)
Anyway, whatever else one might say about the Process, romantic it ain't. Kirby is being paid to win. In his mind that includes pushing roster management aggressively. The issues with Carter and Blankenship arose because Smart was at the edge, numbers-wise, with the 2017 class before the four underclassmen stepped up to announce they were staying. That decision — and would any of us have preferred that they leave for the NFL? — meant that Smart had to do a lot of re-jiggering on the fly.
I'm not defending the way the Carter situation was handled. Smart botched that by not stepping up and telling the kid himself. But he's being paid to put together the best roster he can and that's what he's trying to do.
For what it's worth, I believe that recruits' publicly stated reasons why they chose school X are almost always post-hoc backfilling after a decision has been made. Georgia wasn't the choice but Rodrigo Blankenship isn't the reason why.
Also: GTP mentions that 100% above-board Mark Richt often slogged through SEC seasons with 70-some scholarship players. That's the choice the current system gives you: nobly waste resources or push the envelope with the detrimental effects to the croots. That's a dumb system.
Michigan is navigating it better than they did last year, and Georgia will probably follow suit.

The haves split from the other haves. Also spotted on GTP is this article from Jon Wilner detailing the coming revenue split even amongst the Power 5 conferences:
Fiscal year 2015 school distributions (all figures confirmed):
SEC: $32.7 million
Big Ten: $32.4 million
Pac-12: $25.1 millionFiscal year 2016 school distributions
SEC: $40 million (confirmed)
Big Ten: $35 million (approximate)
Pac-12: $27 million (approximate)That looks bad … that is bad … but it's about to get much worse for the Pac-12.
Remember: The Big Ten's new Tier 1 deal begins in 2017-18, and it's also a whopper, averaging $440 million per year.
Which brings us to …
Fiscal year 2017-18 school distributions …
Big Ten: $45 million (estimate)
SEC: $43 million (estimate)
Pac-12: $31 million (estimate)
This is an even bigger gap than it looks because most SEC athletic departments run close to the bare minimum number of sports to qualify as D-I and Big Ten and Pac-12 schools carry up to 12 additional teams under that revenue umbrella.
Not only is paying the players the correct thing to do from a moral, ethical, and free market standpoint; it is a Very Good Thing for the Big Ten as it tries to be good at football. And there can be absolutely no argument that the money is there. As of 2011 the Big Ten's payout was 23 million. By 2018 there will be 22 million dollars a year that did not exist just a few years ago. Half of that is sufficient to pay the revenue sports athletes 100k a year.
In bubble news. (Not that bubble.) Disney CEO and therefore ESPN CEO Bill Iger:
Disney CEO Bob Iger thinks there are too many ads on TV, and he's exploring whether Disney's ESPN and ABC channels should reduce the amount of commercials.
"In general there is probably too much commercial interruption in television," Iger said during Disney's quarterly earnings call Tuesday, especially when TV is competing with new digital upstarts like Netflix, some of whom don't have ads at all.
Iger said Disney would evaluate the amount of ads aired within programs for its ESPN and ABC TV channels, though he did not say that any cuts to the so-called ad load were looming.
My eyes pop out of my head when my mother voluntarily turns on cable TV programming with ads in it. (It's always HGTV, and they're always building tiny houses for some damn reason.) Live sports has long been the last bulwark against that kind of thing because there are no alternatives, but my God last year was brutal. The number of three-and-outs both preceded and followed by commercial breaks seemed to go up exponentially. At some point you have to balance out the money you're making now with the money your losing down the road by making your product worse, and it's especially grating when the people actually comprising the product are not even compensated.
In bubble news. (That bubble.) Michigan's moved out of the last four in on Lunardi's bracketology. They are one spot behind... Michigan State? The hell?
I mostly look at Kenpom so that's jarring. There MSU is 54th; Michigan 31st. Metrics that are not margin aware, like RPI, have that ranking inversed. MSU is #41 in RPI; Michigan is 61st. MSU's main accomplishment in the eyes of RPI is to have lost to a bunch of good teams.
Insert general scheduling lament here.
The little details. Good rostering continues:

Etc.: Freddy Canteen transfers to ND, which will be interesting. I expected him to land at a smaller school. Indiana takes from Quinn and Holdin' The Rope. More croot profiles: Brad Robbins, JaRaymond Hall. Not a banner year in the Big Ten.
Michigan 75, Indiana 63
Wagner hits 3, runs over Tom Crean. pic.twitter.com/YdwT35WGlv

In one sense, this felt deeply unfamilar. Michigan entered today's game with zero road wins on the season and one victory in 17 tries at Assembly Hall since 1996, that an overtime win over a terrible 2008-09 Indiana squad. They never trailed the Hoosiers or even came particularly close to relinquishing their lead.
In another sense, this felt pleasantly familiar. Michigan turned up the defensive intensity, forced 15 turnovers—ten in the first half—and rode hot perimeter shooting and another tremendous game from Derrick Walton for a comfortable victory over the Hoosiers.
If this wasn't a must-win game, it was damn close to it, and Walton once again played with an intensity that matched the stakes. He scored 25 points, going 7-for-13 from the field and 9-for-9 from the line, while adding five rebounds, four assists, and three steals. It was a masaterful performance that had the CBS announcers full-on fawning over his play:
"How did he do that??" @umichbball https://t.co/BSlyh9p2xV
— CBS Sports CBB (@CBSSportsCBB) February 12, 2017
Much like in the first contest, Walton's main scoring support came from big men Moe Wagner and DJ Wilson. Wagner overcame a series of extremely questionable calls to post an 11-point, ten-rebound double-double while helping keep star IU center Thomas Bryant (8 points on 8 shots, 3 turnovers) in check. Wilson did a little bit of everything on both ends; he showed off an NBA-caliber array of shotmaking to net his 13 points on 6-for-11 shooting and his NBA-caliber combination of size and coordination to tally three blocks and three steals.
Other than Zak Irvin (5 points, 1-for-8 FG), whose offensive woes continued, the supporting cast had another strong outing. Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman needed only four shot equivalents for his seven points and once again made James Blackmon Jr. a relative non-factor; Blackmon scored only six points, three of which came on a meaningless garbage-time shot. Duncan Robinson hit a couple timely threes, playing his part in making sure IU paid dearly for their live-ball turnovers. Xavier Simpson followed his breakout MSU game by converting a strong take the hoop on his only shot attempt and chipping in two assists and a steal in 12 minutes.
The first road win of the season couldn't have come at a better time. Michigan is now 16-9, 6-6 in the Big Ten, and they'll be in the field in the next round of NCAA tournament projections; in many of them, they'll be taking Indiana's place. A 3-3 finish down the stretch, which features four road games and tough home contests against Wisconsin and Purdue, should have the Wolverines in position for an at-large bid. That looks a whole lot more realistic this afternoon than it did a week ago.

CBS PBP: Kevin Harlan Analyst: Dan Bonner |
Right: Still obligatory. [Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog]
There's good news and bad news on the NCAA tournament front. The good: Michigan continues to get on more updated brackets in the Bracket Matrix. They're now the third team out of the field, and Sunday's matchup just happens to be with the last at-large team to make it; a win should get the Wolverines on the right side of the bubble for the moment.
The bad: the NCAA selection committee released the top 16 overall seeds this afternoon and the surprise of the day was the omission of the Big Ten (namely, Wisconsin, which is currently the top four-seed on the matrix). If the committee is down on the top of the conference, that spells trouble for the B1G teams on the bubble.
That all may become irrelevant, of course, if Michigan can't beat Indiana. The Wolverines need at least one upset win (by current KenPom projections) down the stretch to have a realistic chance at an at-large bid. This looks like one of their best opportunities but for the location of the game: Michigan is 1-17 at Assembly Hall since 1996, with the lone victory coming in overtime over a 2008-09 Hoosiers squad that finished 6-25.
In preparation for this game, John Beilein chose to give Derrick Walton and Zak Irvin two days off of practice this week in hopes of keeping the former at his current form and snapping the latter out of his slump. Irvin is quite aware that he needs to play better than he has over the last three games:
"I told the guys this, I know that in order for us to be able to achieve the goals we want, I've got to step up," Irvin said. "I told them that. I look forward to the challenge.
"Everyone goes through adversity throughout the season. It's been my time these last three games and I've gone through it. But I'm not going to let that define me in any way for the rest of the year. I told them, no matter what, whether I'm shooting the ball well or not, I'm going to be positive and I'm going to be a leader out there."
Irvin's last good game came against these very Hoosiers; he had 12 points on nine shot equivalents, three assists, and no turnovers in the blowout at Crisler. A return to that form would be most welcome.
Derrick Walton scored 21 points, Moe Wagner and DJ Wilson exploited frontcourt mismatches with IU's Juwan Morgan limited in his first game back from an ankle injury, James Blackmon Jr.—who sat out the next three games with a knee injury—only mustered four points, and Michigan won by 30.
Projected starters are in bold. Hover over headers for stat explanations. The "Should I Be Mad If He Hits A Three" methodology: we're mad if a guy who's not good at shooting somehow hits one. Yes, you're still allowed to be unhappy if a proven shooter is left open. It's a free country.

Hello. I tried to send files from pc to ipad2 using bluetooth, Ipad claimed bluetooth is not supported, I tried itunes but could not figure out if it did. Will you please guide me to do so. Thanks.
Run iTunes, plug your iPad in to your computer. Under the Apps section, the Apps that support file transfer are listed at the bottom of the page.
OK, first off, what type of files are you trying to transfer? In iTunes, when your iDevice is connected, if you select the device, a series of tabs appear. One of them is the 'Apps' tab. If you scroll down, a list of the apps you have loaded on your iPad that you can Transfer files between your iPad and computer are listed. What types of files are you wanting to load onto your iPad?
OK, 'files' on the iPad are application specific. There is no accessible file structure that corresponds a Windows environment. The method of getting files onto and off the iPad is best achieved using iTunes. Photos and iDevice compatible video should be relatively easy. Apps for playing non native Apple video format are plentiful. 'Documents To Go' is a good app for viewing and editing Office documents but there are others. These apps need to be loaded and resident on your iPad. Once they are, if you sync your iPad to iTunes, you can then transfer files from your host to your iPad on an application by application basis as described in previous posts. Hope this helps.
Are you saying that I cannot say, make a video, in mp4 format, and then upload it to my ipad2 to view it when I do not have a wifi access, if I have a wifi only iPad 2? How about mp3's/etc?
See have you tried Dropbox? It's sort of like a cloud you can use with files and I use it to keep my Word Documents, Powerpoints, and Spreadsheets handy in case something comes up and I need them. I'm a business student and along with studying business I run my own business so I like to have my stuff in sync and this way I can record something on one device and within a few seconds they're all updated. Since this is relevant here is a link to their info page http://db.tt/MjWA6Li0 For files it gives you options of choosing what compatible apps you want to open them with.

Why not? Def need to find some challenging trails. Just ordered my 3" lift--there goes another grand--does it ever stop!?

Just don't make the routes too challenging (i.e. potentially damaging) . . . seeing as I do have to drive my vehicle to work the next day (well, unless that is I drive the beater Celica to work.)
If you're thinking of heading to Bangor and then cutting over into the Downeast Area there's always Dysarts -- a place where I often seem to start and end many of my adventures while snowmobiling, ATVing, hiking, etc. And if you're ever in Unity the Homestead has a decent breakfast menu.

32 Ford 4 Link Questions
Hello Hotrodders,
For a very long time I wanted to build a Bare Bones Hot Rod. The time has finally come and a 32 5W body sits channeled over a repro frame. Of course everybody has their own specific idea of how a Rod should look. I decided to move the I-beam axle in front of the grille, to lower the car and give it my desired look. The body/frame is set level at ride hight. (I intend to have the rails as the lowest point of the frame. The Engine and Transmission will be raised accordingly.) I assembled the front end (forged axle, 37-41 ford spindles, finned backing plates and Buick Aluminum drums), attached the wheels and set the assembly to the car (centered and square). I would like to know how important the length of the 4 bars are, and if they can run parallel to the centerline of the car or if they need to be angled towards the center. I am using Pete & Jakes Batwings (designed for poly bushings instead of clevis pins) and would like to have the pivot points close to the firewall, and at that point the frame has almost the same width as the Batwings. Your advice and input is greatly appreciated. Swisskidd

welcome to the board.
The longer bars the better, they can be parallel with the c/l of the car or angled, it doesn't matter. The panhard rod keeps things centered. You didn't say if you were using a leaf spring or what, but a panhard rod is almost always appropriate. but yes, you are on the right track, it'll work the way you have planned out. Just make sure you can have about 5-7 degrees of caster when you set up your axle. Later, mikey

As a long time 32 Ford owner ( see avatar ) and a Moderator here ... I would like to WELCOME you to Hotrodders.com As Mike stated... the longer the bars .. the better ... to a point. I use the longest ones I can and still fit under the fenders. If you are going without fenders ... longer is definitely better ... but if you are going to channeled the body ... do not make the bars too long ... I have some photos of my current 32 project here .... http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/jour...ge=1&reverse=1 They have some chassis photos and other construction stuff going on ... Again WELCOME Deuce ... Modewrator |
Good catch on the steering box, Youngster

32 4 Link, Steering Box
Thanks to everyone for their input.
As far as spring, it is a Mono Leaf. For steering, I was thinking of using a Schroeder Sprint Car Box under the dash with the pitman arm on the side of the body. I guess also in this scenario the radius rod length should match the length of the drag link?!? I haven't spent alot of time to figure out the ratios regarding pitman arm vs. steering arm etc. I will post a picture of my work-in-progress in the next few days. Swisskidd |
It sounds like you are looking at a suicide style front end normally run on a Tbucket for the car.
To each his own, but why spend the money on a duece Repro frame if you are going to channel the body and turn it into a T bucket style chassis? Running the 32 style frame with a Model A style front crossmember, the mono leaf and a dropped axle should have you pretty low to start with unless you are just going for that way stretched out there look. Before you go too far you might want to read Brandon Flannery's editorial in the Fall O7 Traditional Rod and Culture Illustrated. It's a one page and you don't necessarily have to buy the magazine just read the editorial. page 8 by the way. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of cookie cutter cars but I do like safe cars that have "The" look and can be driven and driven hard and driven long distances without issues. |
re'32 Ford 4link
With the cowl steering and the channeled body, you're going to have trouble building the drag link as long as the 4 bar. just mount the steering box as far forward in the cowl as you can and the frame mounts for the 4 bar as close to the firewall as you can. Have you already bought the deuce frame? If so, have you cut it yet?
Youngster |
32 Ford 4 Link
Thanks for the tip on the magazine. I was not familiar with that one. I checked the web site at placed a subscription. As far as the car I agree with
Chopt 48 that it has to perform as well as it looks. It will not be a pavement scraper like you see in some of the magazines. After all, following the guidelines regarding "Scrub Line", the ground clearance is mostly dictated by the tire sidewall. (I opted for skinny, tall radials with a 7" Sidewall.) Yes, the frame is cut! The spring stays at its stock location. Just the axle sits in front of the grille. I will not hide the grille behind a bulky tube crossmember holding the spring axle assembly. Again thanks for everyones input. swisskidd |

Real World Philly is working to "define the city as a gay-friendly destination."
Having two openly gay men as a part of The Real World Philadelphia's cast is a first for the MTV series, although there have been multiple gay cast members before, such as bisexual Ruthie and gay Justin in The Real World Hawaii, or, if we're being honest, most of the cast of The Real World Seattle. Anyway, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the presence of two gay men on the show "is reinforcing a message that the city's tourism officials also have been promoting this year: Philadelphia is gay-friendly." The series is helping to "define the city as a gay-friendly destination," the founder of Philadelphia's Equality Forum says. However, the publisher of the Philadelphia Gay News says that it's not all gay and merry, notably because of Landon and MJ: "In all honesty, the dialogue, at least among the nongays talking about their two gay roommates, is like some unsophisticated hick from the boondocks lost in the big city."

Buchanan, who would be a junior in eligibility in 2016, told The Ole Miss Spirit he gave consideration to transferring to continue to play but instead will remain at Ole Miss.
Buchanan said he reached the decision "a few months ago" and shared it with Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze several weeks ago.
Buchanan played high school football at Jackson Prep. At Ole Miss, he was part of a three-player competition for the starting job with Chad Kelly and DeVante Kincade prior to the 2015 season.
Kincade has also transferred.
Buchanan's departure leaves Ole Miss with three scholarship quarterbacks: Kelly, redshirt freshman Jason Pellerin and true freshman Shea Patterson. Patterson is part of the 2016 signing class but has already enrolled and will go through spring drills. Walk-on Drew Davis is also on the roster.
Buchanan appeared in 13 games last season, mostly as the holder, and completed 8-of-13 passes for 96 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

It also includes Charles Scott, head of Cordiant, which owns the Saatchi & Saatchi advertising agency, and Nigel Doughty-Hanson of Doughty & Hanson, the London-based private client fund manager. Also involved is Tim Farr, a member of the family which used to control Home Breweries, the Nottingham brewer now owned by Scottish & Newcastle.
It is thought that if the consortium's bid is successful, Mr Anderson will take on executive duties at Forest, possibly as chief executive.
It is not clear if this would mean him leaving Porterbrook, the train leasing company which was taken over by bus company Stagecoach in the summer in a deal which netted Mr Anderson pounds 33m
"We've got to consider what's best for the club," Mr Anderson said. "No decision has been taken and all this is a long way out. I'm very happy with Stagecoach."
The consortium, co-ordinated by accountants Stoy Hayward, is one of two group's battling for control of Forest, the struggling Premiership football club.
The other group includes former Tottenham chairman Irving Scholar, Blenheim exhibitions founder Lawrie Lewis and ex-Blenheim chief executive Phil Soar.
The Forest board met yesterday to consider the bids but has yet to name its preferred bidder. It was expected to make an announcement ahead of last night's league match against Blackburn Rovers. An emergency meeting of Forest's shareholders is likely to follow next month.
Mr Anderson's group is talking with other possible investors and has not ruled out increasing its offer for the club. Its current offer is around pounds 15m.
Further announcements on new investors may be made this week. The group said they were "quietly confident" of their chances in the bid battle.
Most of the businessmen in the group have local connections. Mr Anderson, a Scot who was once on the books of Partick Thistle, lives in Nottingham and supports the club. Nigel Doughty-Hanson hails from nearby Newark and is a season-ticket holder at the City ground. They brought in Charles Scott, who has no known Nottingham connections. Mr Farr is a Forest season ticket holder.
Stoy Hayward said yesterday that it was aware of a "golden share" rule which is a condition of the sale.
This rule dictates that 80 per cent of funds raised from player transfers must be re-invested in new players. The new owners will not be allowed to sell the club for five years and be barred from changing its name or the colour of the team's red shirts.
"We've known about that (the golden share) for some time and to be honest it doesn't make much difference.
"We were never interested in asset-stripping the club anyway so we are happy to be bound by it."
